2022 Ford Escape

The 2022 Ford Escape comes in four trim levels: S, SE, SEL, and Titanium. The S rides on 17-inch wheels, while the SE swaps those for 17-inch alloy wheels and adds chrome exterior trim. The Cold Weather package on the SE adds heated outside mirrors and a remote engine start, whereas the Convenience package gets you upgraded headlights and a power liftgate, and the SE Sport Appearance package offers 19-inch black-painted wheels and black exterior styling elements. You can also add a panoramic sunroof to the SE and above. The SEL comes loaded with the Cold Weather and Convenience packages, 18-inch wheels, fog lights, and roof rails. Add the SEL Stealth package for 19-inch black-painted wheels and black exterior styling elements. The Titanium upgrades you to a hands-free power liftgate, 19-inch wheels, LED headlights and fog lights, roof rails, and chrome exterior trim.

The standard engine on the 2022 Ford Escape S, SE, and SEL is a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This engine will get you 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Titanium comes with a 2.5-liter hybrid mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission that garners a total system output of 250 horsepower. This engine is also available on the SE and SEL. There's also a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder available on the SEL and Titanium. It puts out 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque.

While front-wheel drive is standard on the three-cylinder and hybrid powertrains, the turbocharged engine has all-wheel drive as the standard. The all-wheel-drive is available on the other two engine options to provide you with more control regardless of road and weather conditions. You can outfit your 2022 Ford Escape with a tow package on the hybrid and four-cylinder options that allow you to tow up to 3,500 pounds.
