![]() The space on offer on the Ford Escape is at par with the segment which doesn’t give the vehicle much of an edge.Ĭargo Capacity behind the second row (cu-ft) The Rear Seats also can be flipped down quite easily since it is only a one-touch operation which opens up a very generous 68.1 cubic feet of space that could come in handy for that one couple getaway to the mountains. The access is wide and easy to the cargo bay and the added optional feature of a hands-free tailgate comes in handy when you are out picking groceries all alone. The 34.3 Cubic Feet of Storage Space in the rear should be adequate for most people that are cross-shopping a Ford Escape although it doesn’t offer any more room than other rivals. What are the creature comforts in the car? ![]() ![]() What are the highlights of the infotainment system? The Audio output out of the stock 6 speakers is above average and the bass-heavy sound signature should appeal to most people that the Escape caters to. The Sync system that is a highlight for many Ford products works quite well on the Escape as well but the 8-inch touch screen does suffer from some significant input lag which could prove to be a bother for certain buyers.

How good is the 2013 Ford Escape’s infotainment system? We do believe that all the offerings offer some great space but the Escape does have the best seats out of the lot. The entire segment is right at each other’s heels since there are only marginal differences between all of them and although the Subaru Outback comes out on the top, the win isn’t significant. The overall cabin feel is quite rich for the segment and we certainly have no complaints on our behalf. Some people have reported that the ACC controls aren’t ergonomic to operate due to their placement in front of the gear lever directly but it was never a bother for us, in fact, that metal knurled finish on the controls is a plus in our books. The beefy steering wheel and commanding seating position also accentuate the Escape’s SUVish persona. The seating comfort is a definitive strength for the vehicle and for anybody looking for a long-distance cruiser compliant setup, the Ford Escape doesn’t disappoint. The rear seats also seem to follow a similar no-compromise approach as the wide bench offers enough space for three to sit abreast while the headroom and legroom on offer can be termed as generous.
