The Escape is one of the most popular vehicles in the Ford lineup, and it's only getting better for 2023. Ford revamped its beloved, family-friendly SUV in some significant ways, resulting in a vehicle that's more user-friendly, more stylish, and as reliable than it's ever been.

Thinking about upgrading to a new compact SUV for your driving needs in Inverness, Florida? The 2023 Ford Escape is available at Nick Nicholas Ford, and it brings a lot to the table - and your driveway.

New trim lineup

The Ford Escape was already one of the most handsome options in the Ford SUV lineup, but it's even more eye-catching for 2023 thanks to the addition of three new ST-Line trims. If you love a sportier sense of styling, the ST-Line, ST-Line Select, and ST-Line Elite models emphasize all the athletic elements of the Escape with a unique grille and exclusive wheel designs.

Three new ST-Line options aren't the only new additions to the Escape portfolio. The 2023 Ford Escape Active gives you the tools you need to live up to its name. These include a power liftgate for easier loading and unloading, plus a dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control to keep your passengers contented in the hot Florida summer.

Rounding out the 2023 Ford Escape lineup are the well-equipped Base model, the impressively luxurious Platinum, and the electrifying Plug-In Hybrid. Whichever way you go, the new Ford Escape delivers.

Impressive powertrain options

Performance is a big part of the decision-making process when you're shopping for a new compact SUV. Ford gives you plenty of great choices to mull over with the new Escape, including three engines and four powertrains. There's no such thing as a wrong choice, especially not with a standard 1.5-liter EcoBoost® turbo that beautifully blends excitement and efficiency.

If you crave more power, however, the 2023 Ford Escape is optional with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost® that puts down 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Better still, this option is standard with Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, which optimizes your driving experience to deliver more traction when needed. It saves fuel by switching to front-wheel drive when conditions are smooth.

When it comes to saving money at the pump, the 2023 Ford Escape has you covered with not one but two hybrid options. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid models both leverage a 2.5-lier Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder hybrid, delivering up to 210 total horsepower and targeted all-electric range of up to 37 miles in the 2023 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid.[1]

Room for whatever life demands

Functionality is no concern with the 2023 Ford Escape, especially if you want to bring your friends or family along for the ride. With the standard smart sliding second row, you can increase rear legroom by up to 5.9 inches to max out at 40.7 inches. Combine that flexibility with ample headroom, and you've got a compact SUV that's big on space.

The 2023 Ford Escape is also quite big when it comes to cargo room, making it an ideal option for cross-state excursions to runs to the hardware store. Fold down the rear seats, and you've got up to 65.4 cubic feet of overall cargo space. Even with a full house, the 2023 Escape is quite flexible with 37.5 cubic feet of storage in the rear and space-saving options like a Cargo Management System.

Impressively intelligent

Another way that Ford has made its Escape even more desirable is by upgrading its standard tech options. The 2023 Ford Escape now features SYNC® 4, a more modern infotainment interface with perks like wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as well as over-the-air updates via Ford Power-Up.

Safety-wise, the 2023 Ford Escape continues to stand out as one of the best bets for drivers thanks to Ford Co-Pilot360™. Every new Escape comes with Pre Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and the Lane Keeping System. You can upgrade to have even more advanced features like Active Park Assist 2.0 and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control.
