Sleek and Modern Exterior Design

The 2024 Ford Escape has been refreshed with a sleek, modern exterior design that will turn heads. Its aerodynamic lines and bold front grille give it a sophisticated yet sporty appearance. Whether you're cruising through the city or exploring the scenic routes of Maine, the Escape's design ensures you do so in style.

Enhanced Fuel Efficiency and Performance

One of the most exciting updates to the 2024 Ford Escape is the introduction of hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. These powertrains offer enhanced fuel efficiency and performance, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious drivers. The updated EcoBoost® engines, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, provide a smoother and more responsive ride, ensuring every journey is enjoyable.

The hybrid models combine a traditional gasoline engine with an electric motor, seamlessly switching between the two to optimize fuel consumption. This results in fewer trips to the gas station and a reduced carbon footprint without compromising on power or driving experience. Meanwhile, the plug-in hybrid models take this a step further, offering the ability to drive short distances purely on electric power, making them perfect for city commuting and reducing emissions even further.

Additionally, these models come equipped with advanced features such as regenerative braking, which captures energy typically lost during braking and stores it in the battery for later use. This improves efficiency and contributes to a more sustainable driving experience. The 2024 Ford Escape also boasts a range of cutting-edge technologies, including an intuitive infotainment system and a suite of driver-assist features, ensuring that you stay connected and safe on the road.
