Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology
The Escape comes equipped with an entire suite of driver-assistance features. Collectively known as Co-Pilot360, these features help with avoiding collisions, backing up, changing lanes, and more. The driver-assistance features that come with the Escape include:

Higher models come with additional driver-assistance features. For example, the ST-Line Elite and higher trims come with front and rear parking sensors that help detect obstacles in your path while parking. The higher trims also come with Intelligent Cruise Control and Evasive Steering Assist.
SYNC 4 Technology
The Escape comes with the SYNC 4 infotainment system. Thanks to its compatibility with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it enables you to access your phone’s navigation, music, and many apps right through your car.
The base model has an 8-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen with a premium 12.3-inch touchscreen available. Some higher models come equipped with the 12.3-inch screen. Regardless of screen size, all Escape trims feature an infotainment system that has FordPass Connect with Wi-Fi Hotspot.

If you don’t need to seat passengers, you can fold the rear seats completely down for a total cargo capacity of 65.4 cubic feet. If you have a mix of cargo and passengers, the rear seats have a 60/40-split fold-down option for optimal flexibility.
