Frequently Asked Questions About the Ford Escape in Amherst, OH

What are the four powertrains available on the Ford Escape?
The Ford Escape offers four distinct powertrain options: the 1.5L EcoBoost I-3 engine (180 hp, available on Active and ST-Line trims in FWD or AWD), the 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 engine (250 hp, available on ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum trims in AWD only), the 2.5L iVCT Atkinson Cycle I-4 Hybrid (192 total system hp, available on ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum), and the 2.5L iVCT Atkinson Cycle I-4 Plug-In Hybrid (210 total system hp, available on the dedicated Plug-In Hybrid trim in FWD only). This range from a fuel-efficient entry EcoBoost to a 101 MPGe plug-in hybrid gives Amherst and Northeast Ohio Escape buyers a complete spectrum of efficiency and performance options to match their driving priorities.

What is the Ford Escape's sliding second-row seat and how much does it move?
The Ford Escape features a sliding 60/40 split-fold-down second row that can be adjusted fore and aft - sliding up to 5.9 extra inches rearward compared to its most forward position. This gives rear passengers the option to maximize their legroom (up to 40.7 inches on EcoBoost models, 38.9 inches on Hybrid/PHEV models) when cargo capacity is not the priority, or to slide the seats forward to expand cargo volume behind the second row. With the second row fully folded, cargo volume reaches a maximum of 65.4 cubic feet on EcoBoost models and 60.8 cubic feet on Hybrid/PHEV models. The flexible sliding seat system gives Amherst and Northeast Ohio Escape owners the ability to reconfigure the cabin to prioritize either passengers or cargo on any given trip.

What is the Ford Escape's Hybrid Component Warranty?
The Ford Escape Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid models include an 8-year/100,000-mile Hybrid Component Warranty - coverage specifically for the hybrid-related components that is separate from and in addition to the standard 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. This extended hybrid component coverage provides long-term assurance for the battery pack, electric motor, and hybrid drivetrain components - the components most specific to the hybrid system's operation. The standard non-hybrid warranty terms of 3yr/36k bumper-to-bumper, 5yr/60k powertrain, 5yr/60k safety restraint, 5yr/unlimited corrosion, and 5yr/60k roadside assistance also apply to all Escape models for Amherst and Northeast Ohio Escape Hybrid buyers.

What is the Ford Escape's panoramic Vista Roof® with Power Shade?
The available panoramic Vista Roof with Power Shade on the Ford Escape tilts and slides all the way back to provide an open-air sunroof experience for both front and second-row passengers - creating an expansive overhead view that Ford describes as "letting you get a daily dose of vitamin D." The power shade can be opened or closed to control sunlight entry, and the Vista Roof glass extends well into the second-row overhead area for a genuinely panoramic experience versus a standard single-panel moonroof. The panoramic Vista Roof is available on Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and Plug-In Hybrid models as an available option, making it widely accessible across the Escape lineup for Amherst and Northeast Ohio buyers.

What is the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid's electric range and how does charging work?
The Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated all-electric range of 37 miles - sufficient to cover many daily commutes in electric-only mode before the gasoline engine activates. Once the electric battery is depleted, the Escape PHEV operates as a regular hybrid. The PHEV comes with a mobile cord for charging from a standard 120-volt household outlet - no special charging infrastructure is required. Ford notes that it "can run like a regular hybrid if you don't feel like plugging in," providing flexibility to use it as a conventional hybrid vehicle for Amherst and Northeast Ohio Plug-In Hybrid owners who want the electric range benefit but don't always have access to a charging outlet.
