For drivers who want the smooth ride of a sedan with the cargo capacity of an SUV, the Ford Escape makes a great choice. This small SUV offers two rows of seating, the handling of a sedan and fantastic fuel efficiency, so don't hesitate to come down to Bob Allen Ford to see it for yourself.
The latest Ford Escape offers multiple powertrains, including a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid.

The Ford Escape could be the perfect SUV for small families, drivers who need a fuel efficient vehicle or those who simply want a reliable SUV as a daily driver.
Trim Levels
Ford offers the Escape SUV in the following models:
The Escape is also available as hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, which come in all but the S trim.
The Ford Escape's standard powertrain includes a 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, which offers drivers an impressive output of up to 181 horsepower. An eight-speed automatic transmission completes the standard engine offering, and drivers may opt for either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
Drivers may also opt for a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. This engine option is also partnered with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The hybrid powertrain includes two electric motors mated to a 2.5-liter four-cylinder. This powertrain can give Mission drivers up to 221 combined horsepower. The plug-in hybrid model uses a 11.2-kWh battery pack. Ford estimates this can provide the Escape with up to 37 miles of electric-only driving range.
Even without the hybrid powertrains, the Ford Escape can still travel up to 40 mpg. Plus, it can even tow as much as 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.
While the Ford Escape is described as compact, the interior cabin is surprisingly spacious. The Escape offers seating for up to five, and the second row folds down to provide extra cargo room on errands around Leawood.
The latest Ford Escape comes standard with a number of impressive tech features, including Ford Sync infotainment touchscreens. These touchscreens provide a wealth of information and entertainment options, making them a great addition to any vehicle.
The optional tech features for the Ford Escape include a number of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies. These features can help make driving safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
Overall, the Ford Escape offers a great choice for anyone looking for a vehicle with plenty of standard and optional tech features. The Ford SYNC® infotainment system is a standout feature, as it provides Kansas City drivers with easy access to Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. You'll also have voice-activated commands at your disposal, and passengers will enjoy access to a Wi-Fi hotspot, as well.
All Ford Escapes, regardless of the trim level chosen, offer access to the Ford Co-Pilot360™ safety system, which is a group of safety driving assists. Standard driver assists include blind spot monitoring, lane-departure and lane-keep alerts, forward-collision alerts with automated emergency braking capability and rear cross-traffic alert. However, upper level trims will also offer optional driver-assist features, including adaptive cruise control.
These driver safety assists are in addition to the typical safety features like airbags throughout the Escape's cabin, anti-lock braking and electronic traction control.
