The Escape basically offers average passenger and cargo space for a compact crossover. While other Fords, like the Bronco Sport and Maverick, have similarly mediocre materials quality, they at least are more characterful and interesting to look at, with distinctive designs and two-tone color schemes. The Titanium has some of the least convincing wood trim you'll find in a car. The doors are lined in rubbery plastic rather than cloth or pleather, the cargo area is lined in brittle, scratch-prone plastic, and we found evidence of iffy fit-and-finish. Worse, the Escape's interior quality has gone downhill for this generation. On the other hand, we wouldn't call the design particularly eye-catching, and its air vent placement can result in awfully chilly knuckles. We're also fans of the configurable digital instrument panel standard on the hybrids and gas-only Titanium. It does the basics well, and although we have nits to pick with its Apple CarPlay integration, there's far more good than bad. In general, we like its clean, easily read graphics featuring large icons on a clean background. It runs Ford's Sync 3 interface, which is technically previous-generation tech, but only the newest, fanciest Fords like the Mach-E, Bronco and F-150 are running Sync 4. In terms of technology, all but the most basic Escape (pictured in the first slide above) comes with a large touchscreen that's easily seen and reached. The sliding back seat also adds versatility, though we'll touch on that more below and in our Escape Luggage Test. Interior storage is plentiful and thoughtful, especially the area devoted to smartphones. We take a deep dive into the Escape interior's quality, technology, storage and space in this Escape Interior Driveway Test, so we'll only touch on the high and low points here. What are the Escape interior and in-car technology like? The Escape gets minor options updates and some new colors for 2022. Interior & Technology | Passenger & Cargo Space | Performance & Fuel Economy What it's like to drive | Pricing & Features | Crash Ratings & Safety Features What's new for 2022? You'll be sacrificing a fair bit of passenger space with that, however. If you want that, Ford offers the mechanically related Bronco Sport. There's also something to be said for the Escape's attractive, sporty styling and fun-to-drive dynamics that stand out in a segment that increasingly skews toward the quasi-rugged. As such, if you're looking for a hybrid (and we definitely suggest that) or a burlier engine option, the Escape suddenly finds itself higher in that pack and therefore more worthy of your consideration. At the same time, it also offers a powerful turbocharged four-cylinder that those same hybrid-offering competitors do not. The Escape is one of only four compact SUVs that offer a hybrid powertrain, and one of only three available as a plug-in hybrid. There are some caveats to this lukewarm response, however. "Mid-pack" would be the best description. Quite simply, it's outdone by competitors that are more spacious, better to drive and have higher-quality interiors.
