The new 2022 Ford Escape is one of the most exciting compact SUVs. With its responsive and agile handling, hybrid and plug-in options, and sleek good looks, we can tell it will be a crowd-pleaser. One of our favorite things about the new Ford Escape is the range of powertrain and trim levels available with it. To help you figure out which trim level is suitable for your needs, we’ve broken down the Escape’s 4 trim levels in this article.
Ford Escape S
The standard trim level for the new Escape boasts a significant number of tech and safety features, including a backup camera, pre-collision assist (with automatic emergency braking), a lane-keeping system, and Ford’s blind spot information system. With its 1.5-liter “EcoBoost” engine, the S-trim lets buyers upgrade to intelligent AWD or stick with the standard FWD model. It’s an excellent choice for drivers looking to keep it simple (but effective)!
Ford Escape SE
In addition to the Escape S’s standard safety features and tech, an upgrade to the SE trim will give drivers an upgraded infotainment system, satellite radio capability, 17-inch aluminum wheels, and an optional moon roof.
One of the most exciting features of the 2022 Escape is that starting at the SE trim level, the Escape becomes available in 3 different powertrains. You can buy it in the standard 1.5-liter gas engine, but you can also choose to get your new 2022 Escape in the SE Hybrid model or the SE Plug-In Hybrid model. It’s all part of Ford’s commitment to making greener, more efficient vehicles.
Ford Escape SEL
The SEL trim level adds more luxury options to the previous trim levels. These include a heated steering wheel, seats, side mirrors, a power liftgate, roof rack side rails, dual-zone temperature controls, and more! Optional add-ons include a wireless charging pad and crossbars for the roof rack side rails. Like the SE trim level, the SEL comes with the powertrain options of a standard gas engine, a hybrid engine, or a plug-in hybrid option.
Ford Escape Titanium
The top-of-the-line trim for the 2022 Escape, the Titanium trim level delivers luxury, style, and safety to an unparalleled degree. Perks of the Titanium include an upgrade to a Bang and Olufsen ten-speaker sound system, memory systems for the mirrors and driver’s seat, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and adaptive cruise control with lane centering, a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system, and more.
If you’re sticking with the gas engine, the Titanium trim also comes with a notable upgrade from the standard 1.5-liter engine in all other Escape trims to a more potent 250-horsepower 2.0-liter engine.
With so much luxury, technology, and safety features to choose from, including multiple powertrain options, the new Ford Escape is one of the most versatile compact SUVs for drivers looking for a new vehicle.
