Performance and All-Weather Capability

Premium Comfort and Interior Versatility

The cabin of the 2024 Ford Escape ST-Line is a refined space featuring Ebony tones and Cloth and vinyl front seat upholstery with a sporty feel.

On those chilly Michigan mornings, the Cold Weather Package proves its worth with Heated Front Row Seats and a Heated steering wheel.

Practicality is woven into every detail of the interior. The 60-40 folding rear seats feature a manual fore and aft adjustment, allowing you to prioritize passenger legroom or cargo space as needed. Accessing the rear is easier than ever with the Power Liftgate, which can be operated via the Keyfob trunk control. Throughout the cabin, you will find thoughtful touches like Dual-zone front climate control, Metal-look interior accents, and a Covered floor console storage area to keep your personal items secure.
