The 2023 Ford Escape Active AWD is designed for families seeking daily practicality and school-run versatility, offering a flexible rear seat that comfortably accommodates car seats and kids, plus a cargo area ready for strollers, sports gear, or groceries.
Parents and family decision-makers will appreciate how the Escape blends everyday ease with flexible features. The split folding rear seat allows for quick configuration changes, so carrying both children and bulky gear is straightforward. With heated front seats, automatic temperature control, and a power liftgate, busy parents can keep everyone comfortable and streamline loading duties. Those in St. Louis will find the all-weather capabilities especially useful for unpredictable Midwest seasons, ensuring reliable performance year-round.
Powered by a 1.5L EcoBoost engine paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Escape delivers smooth and responsive acceleration that handles full family loads with ease. All-wheel drive enhances grip and stability when facing rain, snow, or uneven roads. The suspension is tuned for comfort, absorbing bumps and road imperfections for a quieter, less fatiguing ride during highway trips or daily errands. Its efficiency, rated at 26/32 MPG city/highway, helps stretch time between fill-ups and reduces overall running costs for active families.
Safety is a core strength of the Escape, providing parents peace of mind through a suite of advanced systems. Dual front, side, and knee airbags, combined with an overhead airbag, create a protective cocoon for all occupants. The LATCH system streamlines car seat installation, while active technologies like electronic stability control, brake assist, and traction control help maintain control in slippery situations. The rearview camera aids in safe reversing, and the SYNC 4 911 Assist emergency communication system is ready to respond when needed, all contributing to protecting what matters most.
The Escape Active AWD trim equips families with features designed to simplify every outing. Heated front seats and steering wheel keep drivers and passengers comfortable in winter, while dual-zone automatic climate control ensures everyone’s preferred temperature. The power driver seat and power liftgate make adjustments and access effortless, and remote keyless entry speeds up departures. Entertainment is delivered through a SiriusXM-equipped AM/FM stereo with six speakers, keeping kids engaged on longer journeys. The rear window wiper and defroster improve visibility in inclement weather.
Against competitors like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, the Escape stands out with its user-friendly SYNC 4 emergency system and heated comfort features, which are not standard on every rival.
