The Ford Escape got an upgrade for the 2023 model year, with minimal changes to the 2024 model. It features front wheel or all wheel drive, seating for 5 and four different powertrains. Some options you're going to find in the new Escape are the all new 13.2" Sync4 media screen, redesigned cluster and available 360 camera (which is brand new to the Escape lineup).
In this video you're going to learn the basics of the new Ford Escape Platinum. I cover off the difference in trim levels and walk through standard and available technology outside and inside this ride.
