The 2018 Ford Escape looks like a crossover but handles like a hatchback. It’s a compact SUV offering superb reliability, solid performance, and a high safety ranking. If you’re looking for a new Ford SUV, here are some features that make the 2018 Escape so versatile.

Spacious Interior

The Escape offers a lot of room in the first and second rows, something that is often lacking in compact SUVs. The cabin layout is appealing, and there is above-average cargo space. It has 34 cubic feet behind the rear seats, which jumps to 68 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. The cargo floor has a two-position load floor, and the tailgate is gesture-controlled.

Safety Features

The Escape comes standard with a driver knee airbag, rearview camera, and a system that allows vehicle owners to set a limit on the audio volume, speed, and several other functions.

Some Escape trim levels come with forward-collision warnings and automatic emergency braking. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, automatic park assist, front and rear parking sensors, active lane control, and blind-spot monitors.

Trim Levels

The 2018 Escape is also versatile, as you can choose from four trim levels: S, SE, SEL, and Titanium. Each trim level comes with a variety of features. The SE is the base level model, while the Titanium is the top trim package and comes with higher-end features and electronics.
