The Ford Escape 2022 comes standard with a Frozen White or Blazer Blue finish (Escape and ST-Line models) or Agate Black (Vignale). The petrol model offers a maximum brake pull of 1800kg, while the PHEV is rated at 1200kg.

With all five seats in place, the Escape offers a cargo capacity of 556L, expanding to 1478L with the second row folded. The 2022 Ford Escape measures 4613mm in length, 1729mm in height and 1882mm in width, with a wheelbase of 2710mm. Meanwhile, the Escape PHEV consumes 1.5L/100km and has a full-electric driving range of over 50km.Īll gasoline-only models require unleaded premium 95RON. The 2022 Ford Escape claims to use 8.6L/100km on the combined cycle, regardless of whether front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is specified. The plug-in hybrid escape uses an automatic CVT and drives the front wheels exclusively. The Escape ST-Line PHEV uses a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine mated to an electric motor and a 14.4kWh lithium-ion battery. This machine is available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The 2022 Ford Escape comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 183kW of power and 387Nm of torque, mated exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The new plug-in hybrid, after much delay, will finally arrive in Australia in the early second quarter of 2022, giving Ford a rival to the redesigned MG HS Plug-In Hybrid and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The 2022 Escape models are expected to start arriving in late 2021, with the exception of the ST-Line PHEV. Vignale, for example, uses Sensico for bolsters and headrests. Ford says it has also introduced Sensico-made leather upholstery in some parts of the cabin. Standard blind-spot monitoring has also added the Trailer Tow Lite feature, which will account for the extra length of the trailer if you’re towing. There is also a Reverse Cross-Traffic Braking feature that will break if it detects you are going back into the path of an oncoming vehicle. The list of safety gear for the lineup has grown, with all models now receiving rear seat passenger alerts and intelligent speed assist. The Ford Escape has received a few spec upgrades for 2022, though pricing hasn’t changed.
