If you’re in the market for a new SUV, you won’t find anything better than Ford’s latest offerings. Quality SUV options combine durability, power, fuel efficiency, and strength, and the 2023 Ford Escape is a perfect embodiment of these traits.

The 2023 Escape has a lot to offer Ford SUV enthusiasts and other new car shoppers as well. Let’s explore what’s new in the 2023 model year for this timeless Ford SUV.

Body and Style Updates

Since the Escape started production in 2000, it has seen its fair share of design updates and feature additions. Four generations of quality SUVs precede this model that is sure to carry the torch.

In 2023, the Escape will have a more blocky design than before. This body style is trending across all automakers, and the 2023 Ford Escape is taking a big step toward modernizing its look.

Tailgate and Lights

More modern car designs follow the 2023 Ford Escape to the tailgate and tail lights. The 2023 Escape will have a lift tailgate with thinner lights than before. Thin lights provide a sleekness to the Escape that has many shoppers excited. Ford was clearly intentional in adding more style and flare to the Escape in 2023.

Interior Upgrades

A completely reimagined dash highlights the features of the 2023 Ford Escape. This new dash features an oversized touchscreen for convenience and easier access for drivers and passengers. Other notable features of the new Escape include:

• Ford Co-Pilot 360 equipped
• 12.3” digital instrument cluster
• Available Bang and Olufsen 10-speaker sound system
• Available wireless charging
• Sync4 technology
• Available built-in Alexa

Refreshed Trim Levels

The 2023 model year welcomes a new naming system for the different trims of Ford SUVs and other new cars as well. For example, the Escape S will be known as the Base in 2023, the SE trim is being replaced by the Active trim, and the Titanium trim will now be known as the Platinum.

Other trim differences that Ford fans will notice are the elimination of the SEL trim and addition of both the PHEV and ST trims – with a sportier look – in its place.

Powertrains on the 2023 Ford Escape

The base engine is a 181-horsepower turbo 1.5-liter three-cylinder, that you can pair with either front- or all-wheel drive. (Previously, the Escape only offered four-cylinder engines.) The faster, more powerful 250-horsepower turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder is capable of reaching 60 miles per hour in just 5.7 seconds – and both engines come with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Two hybrid powertrains also are available, both with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with two electric motors for a total of 210 horsepower. The difference is that one is a plug-in hybrid, which will save you even more on gas. Both hybrid powertrains rely on a CVT – continuously variable transmission.
