Driving Dynamics

'On-demand 4WD'

Ford Escape's smart on-demand 4WD system is designed to work in two ways to allow for all types of conditions. During normal driving the vehicle works as a front wheel drive. But when the system detects a loss of traction, power is sent to all four wheels to maintain a surer grip on the driving surface. When the going gets really tough select the 4WD lock-up feature even while the vehicle's still moving, and you'll have the confidence to tackle particularly slippery off-road conditions.

Independent Front and Rear Suspension

The Ford Escape features MacPherson strut independent front suspension and Multi-Link independent rear suspension.

Automatic transmission

The sleek floor-shift T-bar automatic is ergonomically located in the centre floor console and is standard on Escape.

Interior

CD Player

The Ford Escape's audio system features a 45 Watt 4-speaker AM/FM stereo radio with 6-disc in-dash CD player with MP3 playback.

Climate control

The Ford Escape features a one touch climate control system that allows you to set the temperature inside the cabin. Together with an external air temperature gauge, you can enjoy a more comfortable and controlled environment.

Power windows

Front and rear power windows are standard on Escape, with a one-touch down function on the driver's window and lock-out function for increased safety.

Flexible interior

The seating configuration of Escape's rear seat is split 60/40, creating loads of cargo and passenger carrying options. So now, even with all the family and their gear, everybody has more than enough room to relax. And to increase relaxation and comfort on long journeys, the Escape features rear seats that can recline to varying degrees.
