2018 Ford Escape: One Of The First & Still One of the Best

Way back when compact crossovers weren’t the red-hot item that they are today, the Ford Escape was one of the earliest entrants into the segment. To be fair, at that time the Escape still held to a more SUV-like architecture, but that’s changed over the past decade.

Ford, seeing the market take a hard turn toward true crossover-like vehicles, redesigned the Escape to match consumer preferences. That doesn’t mean, however, that the Escape has lost all its SUV roots. You can still equip it to take on rougher off-road conditions in the Ozark, Dothan, and Auburn, AL areas.

As for new additions and enhancements to the latest edition of the Ford Escape, the 2018 model, the big news is that there is an additional trim level to choose from in the lineup. It’s the SEL trim, and it can be best characterized as the mid-level luxury package on the vehicle. It includes notable features like leather-trimmed seating, touchscreen with nav system, and the SYNC 3 infotainment interface.

You’ve got three other trim levels to choose from with the 2018 Ford Escape:

• S
• SE
• Titanium

Rest assured that no matter which trim level you go with in the 2018 Escape lineup, you’re getting a solid compact crossover value with incredible features. After all, next to the legendary F-150, the Escape is easily the best-selling vehicle in Ford’s portfolio.
