Let's Talk About the 2022 Ford Escape

We want to talk about the 2022 Ford Escape, but what should we mention? Its beautiful, sleek design? Or should we mention the powerful engine that has excellent capability? How about the technological safety features that were designed for the road ahead? Here at Palatka Beck Ford, we think we should talk about all of them. 


So let’s get started! 


A Beautiful, Sleek Design 


People always say it’s what’s on the inside that counts, but we shouldn’t ignore the Ford Escape’s gorgeous exterior. It’s a real head-turner!


Drivers can equip their 2022 Ford Escape with the available SE Sport Appearance Package, which includes 19” aluminum wheels, black front and rear bumpers, a glossy front grille, and black upper window molding (to name a few of its features). 


If you want something even sleeker than what’s available in the SE Sport Appearance Package, we recommend the available SEL Stealth AWD package. This also features 19” aluminum wheels but has bold, red accent stitching inside, as well as glossy black skull caps and a gorgeous upper grille. 


Or, if you want to truly elevate the look and feel of your vehicle, go ahead and get the Titanium Elite package. This features silver front and rear skid plates and dual Sandstone and Ebony-colored leather seats. 


A Powerful Engine and Excellent Capability


Next up is the Escape’s powerful engine. This stylish SUV has a four-engine lineup that features the following: 


  • 1.5L EcoBoost engine with auto start-stop technology. This helps lower fuel consumption. With the auto start-stop technology, your engine will turn on just as seamlessly as it shuts down. Drivers will be able to easily tow up to 2,000 pounds. 

  • 2.0L EcoBoost engine with auto start-stop technology. When equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost Class II Trailer Tow package, drivers will be able to haul loads up to 3,500 pounds.

  • Hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 engine. This engine has a controlled continuously variable transmission, as well as a 96 kW electric motor. 

  • Plug-in 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 engine. When fully charged, the battery can last between 10-11 hours. 


Besides the incredible engine lineup, drivers can select different drive modes, including Normal, Sport, Eco, Deep Snow/Sand, and Slippery to increase traction on different terrains. 


Technology Designed for You and the Road Ahead



When you get behind the wheel of a Ford Escape, there are many technological features you will love, including the Ford Co-Pilot360 system. This safety system comes with the following features: 


  • Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

  • Active Park Assist 2.0

  • Lane-Keeping System

  • Rear View Camera

  • Evasive Steering Assist

  • Auto High-Beam Headlamps

  • Voice-Activated Navigation System

  • Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control

  • BLIS (blind spots)


In addition to the number of incredible safety features, drivers will also enjoy the following:


  • 12.3” digital instrument cluster that allows you to customize the look and feel of your driving information on the road.

  • Available B&O sound system package by Bang & Olufsen. Standard in the Titanium Elite, Premium, and SEL Technology Package, this B&O sound system offers a dynamic listening experience for everyone inside the cabin.

  • Available wireless charging pad that automatically senses your smartphone. Say goodbye to those pesky charging cables that are always getting left on the kitchen table. 

  • Head-Up Display, which displays your speed on the windshield rather than your dashboard so you can always keep your eyes on the road. 

  • Available SYNC 3 technology. This gives you the ability to make and receive phone calls, play music, and get directions. 


Drivers who use FordPass Connect will also be able to enjoy the available 4G LTE in-cabin Wi-Fi hotspot. This hotspot can connect up to 10 different devices simultaneously. It also provides connectivity up to 50 feet outside the vehicle. So whether you’re traveling cross country or stopping off for a hike or overnight camping trip, you will always be connected.
