Bolder. Sportier. More refined. The Escape’s new exterior design stands out from the rest – whether in the city or on a weekend family getaway. Complemented with a distinctively stylish and comfortable cabin, the Ford Escape is ready for some serious fun.
The heart of Escape’s exterior is a dynamic six-point grille. Sporting an athletic hood design, sleek body lines, and boldly sculpted wheel arches – Escape is perfectly poised and ready for anything.
Escape's adaptable rear storage and versatile 60/40 split rear seats offer ample space for... well, almost anything. A reconfigured centre console is equipped with a media bin to stow your essentials and charge your devices on the go. A new ergonomic 3-spoke steering wheel feels just right in your hands. And the traditional handbrake has been replaced with an electonic parking brake - creating even more space.
Taking up almost 50% of your roof space the glass roof brings the outdoors in, at the touch of a button.
[1] Available on Titanium model only.
Responsive, nimble and more than capable of tackling tough road conditions - almost nothing is off limits to the Escape. A choice of cutting-edge EcoBoost engines are designed so you'll spend more time exploring and less time at the fuel pump.
Escape's 1.5L EcoBoost and twin-scroll 2.0L EcoBoost engines combine turbocharging and direct injection technology to maximise power from every compression while helping you save on fuel. Enjoy all the low-end torque you need to effortlessly haul virtually any family-sized load.
Why waste fuel at idle? Escape knows when you've stopped at lights or stuck in traffic and shuts down the engine automatically. When you're ready to drive again, just press the accelerator and the engine restarts.
Escape is engineered to handle all life's twists and turns. On winding roads or when manoeuvring tight bends, Torque Vectoring Control transfers torque to the wheels with the most grip, to help enhance control and virtually eliminate under-steer.

Nothing is more important than your family’s safety. So when adventure calls, Escape gives you the confidence to say “Let’s go!”. In addition to seven airbags, the Escape offers real peace of mind with advanced safety features as standard.
The SYNC™31 is there for you when you need it most. If you’re in an accident that deploys the airbags or activates the fuel pump shut off, Emergency Assistance uses your paired and in range mobile phone, to dial emergency services and provides them with your precise GPS coordinates.
The Escape's seven airbags - including side curtain airbags - offer extra protection for both front and backseat passengers. That's safety in numbers.

The Escape is a showcase of Ford innovation. Sync to favourite apps like Spotify, get live traffic updates on the 8 inch capacitive touchscreen1 2. The intuitive SYNC™ 3 system is smart and simple. With enhanced voice control and updated commands, even your kids can talk to it.
The upgraded SYNC® 31 system connects you to your world like never before. With enhanced voice recognition software, it's now even easier to make hands-free phone calls, listen to text messages2, and play your favourite music. The 8-inch capacitive touchscreen features redesigned interface with intuitive functions like pinch-to-zoom. The system even updates automatically via WIFI®3.
Say goodbye to the stress of parallel and perpendicular parking. First Enhanced Park Assist helps you find a park. It then helps to steers you in and even helps you steer out while you work the gears, accelerator and brake.
Goodbye traditional hand brake. Escape's space-saving electronic parking brake lets you park securely with the touch of a button. Put Escape into reverse and the rear view camera turns on automatically, allowing you to clearly see objects behind you. At the same time, rear parking sensors beep to help let you know how close you are to any hidden obstacles.
When your kids are old enough to borrow your Escape, MyKey™ helps to ensure they will drive as if you were in the car with them. Simply program MyKeyTM to limit Escape's top speed and regulate stereo volume.
It’s a small thing but a very important one. Indicator lights in the side mirrors can let you know if there’s a vehicle detected in your blind spot when changing lanes. So you can see what you can’t see.
When traffic is crawling along, it can be easy to miss someone suddenly stopping up front. In speeds of up to 50km/h, Enhanced Active City Stop can detect if the car in front has unexpectedly stopped and automatically apply the brakes if you don’t.
Cruise Control is great on the open road. But, even here, you can find traffic. So instead of having to turn Cruise Control on and off, Adaptive Cruise Control adapts. If it senses traffic is slowing, it slows. When the traffic clears, it goes back to your pre-set speed.
When oncoming traffic is detected, the headlights automatically dip to ensure other drivers won't be 'blinded by the light'. Once the vehicle has passed, the high beams turn on again.
