Ford escape 2021 ground clearance5/1/2023 If you have ever owned a coupe, you know that putting an adult in the backseats is considered a cruel and unusual form of punishment. This roomy feel would definitely make it easy to load a week’s worth of groceries! I have crammed massive amounts of planters into my car only to create a huge mess of soiled tan seating because they did not all fit into my trunk. There’s also an option to add space by folding down the backseat–something my little two-door doesn’t allow. Being a compact SUV, the 2022 Escape’s 37.5 cubic feet of space was the perfect increase for someone still adjusting from a lifetime in a smaller cabin. Room to BreatheĮveryone needs a little space. As much as I wanted that feature, I wasn’t willing to upgrade from the SE trim, which already offered all the major safety features I was looking for. Unfortunately, the Head-Up Display that projects everything you need to know right in front of your eyes is only an option on the top Titanium trim. The FordPass Connect 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot ensures constant communication for up to 10 devices with access up to 50 feet outside the vehicle. Safety is important to me, but I was put completely at ease with the standard Ford Co-Pilot360 system with pre-collision warnings, automatic braking, and lane keeping assist using sensitive camera and radar technology. The collection of USB-A, USB-C, and 12V outlets is nice, although I do wish the optional wireless charging pad was available on the SE trim instead of being restricted to the SEL and Titanium. Offering Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, this system is designed to allow cruising in style with expert navigation, call processing, and music preferences all at my command through a large, easy-access touchscreen. The Ford SYNC 3 system provides a valuable voice-activated information system. Once I got past appearances, I found the presence of thoughtful intelligence and modern technological advances waiting to serve my every need. There are endless ways to build and accessorize your dream Escape. But if that’s not your type, your match is waiting with plenty of color options, including three new blues this year (Atlas Blue, Flight Blue, and Ice Blue). Styled up with pitch-black 19-inch wheels, window and beltline molding, front and rear lower bumpers, a high-gloss black grille with chrome surround, and high-gloss black mirror caps, the Sport Appearance Package is an affordable way to stand out. Like a chiseled, edgy rock star strutting down the road in all-black accents, it was hard to ignore. I particularly enjoyed the SE Sport Appearance Package, just to show off a little. Naturally pleasing to the eye with sharp angles and a sleek design. My first impression of the 2022 Escape was noticing how really great-looking this car is. I spent a full week getting to know every nuance about its features and options, only to find that I knew everything I needed to know about what I didn’t want to live without. Looks, personality, intelligence, and performance. Every attribute I loved about my car was noticeably surpassed by this stunner. That is until I found a Ford Escape that swept me off my feet, and I never looked back. I snuck onto some car sales sites to see what was out there, only to revert back to my lack of acceptance. I took my two-door bestie out for a comforting drive down memory lane and reminisced over all the roads I conquered because she was there for me. Why didn’t I get a say in any of these decisions? Like so many other unforeseen departures, the end of my long-lived relationship with cars has arrived, and breaking up is most certainly hard to do.Īt first, I wallowed in grief. I had been driving around for years, blissfully unaware that SUVs like the 2022 Ford Escape are taking over while affordable coupes and sedans are going the way of vinyl records and DVRs. The more I searched, the more I learned the reality I had been sleepwalking through. It became further evident I had fallen asleep at the wheel when it came to keeping up with automotive trends when I frantically searched for an acceptable replacement for my car, only to find even the modestly priced sedan was disappearing. I’ve been in denial since the day I learned that not only are there few new front-wheel drive coupes that fit my budget. The writing has been on the wall for quite some time.
