Performance is at the heart of the Escape ST-Lineâs appeal. The 1.5L EcoBoost engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivers crisp, responsive acceleration suitable for spirited city driving and smooth highway cruising. Shift logic is tuned for unobtrusive yet quick gear changes, and manual mode grants extra control when desired. The suspension absorbs rough surfaces without feeling numb, maintaining communication with the road while filtering out harshness.

Brakes are progressive and reassuring, giving the driver complete confidence in all situations.
Safety systems in this SUV are designed to enhance, not intrude on, the driving experience. Lane Keep Assist and Blind Spot Monitoring actively support your awareness, only intervening when necessary so the driver remains in command. Adaptive Cruise Control, including stop-and-go functionality, allows for relaxed long-distance travel without constant pedal work. The rear camera and power liftgate improve visibility and ease of use, making parking and loading simple even in tight or busy environments. Electronic stability control and ABS operate quietly in the background, ensuring the Escape maintains composure during rapid maneuvers or in challenging weather.
This Escape ST-Line is equipped with a suite of features focused on both comfort and driver engagement. Heated seats and a heated steering wheel make cold starts inviting, while dual zone climate control ensures both driver and passenger can fine-tune their environment. The power liftgate streamlines cargo access, and the rear camera provides a clear view when reversing. Adaptive cruise and Lane Keep Assist reduce fatigue on longer drives, while Blind Spot Monitoring alerts you to vehicles in adjacent lanes. The non-smoker interior and regular service as a loaner contribute to a fresh, cared-for atmosphere every time you get in.
When compared to competitors like the Toyota RAV4 XSE and Honda CR-V Sport Touring, the Escape ST-Line distinguishes itself with a more responsive steering feel and a sportier driving character.

Great performance highway/city/winters

Got the '21 SEL Hybrid used, and it's felt like a steal. I was moving from the south to the northern midwest, and needed a car that could hold family of 4+gear, had good mileage, good handling and driving all seasons, and really preferred some creature comforts. 3 months after purchase, I had to take it on the big test of 3k+ mile trip into the Dakotas, ending in a winter storm the last 250 miles. It handled everything wonderfully, and in comfort. MPG dropped to the low-mid 30's when I was doing pure highway, jumped up to low 40's with combo city/highway. No idea what people are complaining about on engine straining/noise, this thing has handled everything from driving 80 along the highways to climbing a steep grade hill during a blizzard. No issues at all, the AWD is a great need for my winters, and it's more modern features work well. My assumption is those complaining of engine noise/issues have had poor maintenance. I've kept up with mine very diligently, and have nice tires in place to help with winters here. The interesting positive is my year/model came with a map nav and sync as standard. So it has mapping/updating/etc all built in. But I never use it as I still prefer my phone Android Auto setup. Biggest complaint is it feels like there's just not quite enough space in the back, even when dropping the seats. You can fit luggage/hardware/gear in there, but you'll need to be creative. I ended up getting the roof rack as a fall-back for bigger things. - 5.0

Bought my car brand new February 2023. It’s a 2022 model sports package. Love the way it handles. rarely uses gas as I do mostly in town errands. Smaller than my previous Non plug-in Ford Escape, but actually like it that way. Backseat does fold down and plenty of rear cargo room.
