Explore the 2021 Ford Escape in Ayden, NC
The fourth generation Escape debuted in 2020, but Ford didn't fully release the entire range of 10 trims until 2021. That's why we'd recommend that you choose a 2021 Escape. This model year also saw hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants join the range. The much-desired Convenience Package option also gained a 10-way powered driver seat, a keypad entry system, and attractive LED exterior lighting. The Technology Package was enhanced, too, adding memory functions for the driver seat as well as mirror positions, plus a powered hands-free liftgate. Finally, Ford added adaptive cruise control with traffic sign recognition to its optional Copilot 360 Plus driver-assist system.
Entering the 2021 Escape, you'll find yourself in a spacious 103-cubic-foot cabin that can accommodate up to five adults and an ample 34-cubic-foot trunk. These dimensions rival some midsize crossovers, showcasing how practical the 2021 Escape is. If you need more cargo space, you can split-fold the rear seat for added versatility.
Then, you'll enjoy Ford's well-thought-out and ergonomically superior dashboard and center console. Tech toys include dual-zone climate control and an 8-inch touch screen that supports Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ on all trims save for the base S trim. This makes do with a 4.2-inch color display and only offers AM/FM radio. Choosing the top Titanium trim level gives you a large 12.3-inch touch screen and a sublime 10-speaker B&O sound system. A heads-up display is optional as well.
The base engine on the 2021 Escape is a turbocharged 1.5-liter 3-cylinder that puts out an impressive 181 horsepower. Driving the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic, it's enough for zero to 60 in 7.7 seconds. If you want more, choose the powerful 250-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four. This sends drive to all four wheels via the same 8-speed auto box and can easily do zero to sixty in under six seconds.
Now, let's check out the hybrids. There's a regular hybrid with 200 horsepower or a plug-in hybrid with 221 horsepower. Their powertrains encompass a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and a CVT gearbox. While the regular hybrid has a 1.1 kWh battery, the plug-in hybrid enjoys a much larger 14.4 kWh unit. Note that the plug-in hybrid was a late 2021 model release, so it may be slightly harder to find.
Finally, the 2021 Escape offers a fantastic set of standard features that will keep you and your occupants safe at all times. These include eight airbags, blind spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, child safety locks, stability control, and daytime running lamps.
