The 2023 Ford Escape Active envelops you in a subtly refined sensory experience, beginning with Agate Black Metallic paint that signals sophistication even before you open the door.
This SUV is ideal for buyers who appreciate modern comfort blended with practical refinement. The Escape Active trim’s heated front seats and heated steering wheel transform chilly mornings into cozy commutes, while a power driver seat and split folding rear seat provide flexible comfort for family trips or solo drives. In St. Louis, where weather can shift quickly, features like heated mirrors and a remote keyless entry system make year-round use seamless, and the power liftgate adds genuine convenience for busy lifestyles. Focused on feature-rich value, the Escape delivers classic refinement in every detail, appealing to those who want upscale amenities without overt flash.
Driving the Escape is an exercise in effortlessness, thanks to its 1.5L EcoBoost engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This combination yields smooth, quiet acceleration with minimal vibration, while the four wheel independent suspension and speed-sensing steering absorb rough surfaces and reduce cabin disturbances. The result is a composed and tranquil ride-whether gliding through city streets or cruising on the highway, road and wind noise are kept at bay, reinforcing the sense of premium isolation. Automatic high-beam headlights and fully automatic lighting contribute to an easy, confident driving experience after dusk.
Safety in the Escape is engineered to operate seamlessly in the background, enhancing peace of mind without distraction. Advanced features like the SYNC 4 911 Assist emergency communication system, exterior parking camera rear, and electronic stability control work in concert to manage unpredictable moments. Dual front and side impact airbags, a knee airbag, and occupant sensing airbag provide layers of passive protection, while brake assist and ABS ensure calm, responsive braking in challenging conditions. The subtle integration of these technologies means drivers and passengers are shielded by invisible, intelligent safeguards that enhance the luxury of feeling secure.
A suite of comfort and technology features elevates every journey in the Escape. The Active trim includes an AM/FM radio with SiriusXM and six speakers for crisp audio immersion, plus steering wheel-mounted controls for easy adjustments. Unique Cloth Front Bucket Seats offer plush support, while the power liftgate streamlines loading and unloading.
Against competitors like the Honda CR-V EX and Toyota RAV4 XLE, the Escape stands out for its acoustic refinement and tactile quality. Where rivals may focus on hard plastics or louder cabins, this SUV prioritizes a quiet ride and intuitive controls that feel natural in hand.
What premium materials are used in the interior? The Escape Active features soft Ebony Cloth seating and a steering wheel designed for tactile comfort, supported by subtle ambient lighting and quality cabin materials. How quiet is the cabin? Strategic insulation and refined suspension minimize road and wind noise, delivering a hushed environment even at highway speeds. Does this vehicle feel luxurious?
