On the hunt for a stylish, efficient compact SUV to zip around Las Cruces? The 2024 Ford Escape could be the perfect fit, now available at Casa Ford of Las Cruces, home of the Nice Guys! With ample cargo room, smart technology, and a choice of powertrains including two fuel-sipping hybrid options, the 2024 Escape provides versatility for everyday driving as well as weekend trips exploring southern New Mexico’s beautiful landscapes.

What’s New for 2024 on the Escape?

For the new model year, the Escape continues offering the same great features and options as previous years. Customers can choose from one hybrid model, one plug-in hybrid model, and two gas-powered variants, with standard front-wheel or available all-wheel drive across the lineup except the plug-in hybrid.

2024 Ford Escape Power & Performance

The base Escape is motivated by a peppy 1.5-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder pumping out 181 horsepower, while the optional 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder generates 250 horses for even quicker acceleration. The hybrid twins team a 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine with electric motors to produce a robust 210 combined system horsepower. Whichever configuration you select, the Escape delivers a smooth, quiet ride whether cruising downtown on Church Street or embarking on outdoor adventures in the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument.

On the efficiency front, Escape models shine with EPA ratings ranging from 26 to 44 miles per gallon in combined city/highway driving depending on configuration. The plug-in hybrid can even travel up to 37 miles on battery power alone, allowing for silent electric driving on short trips to campus or commutes across Las Cruces. With gas prices fluctuating, the Escape provides wallet-friendly options for every budget.

2024 Ford Escape Interior

The modern interior of the 2024 Escape offers roomy, supportive seating for five passengers, with plenty of head and legroom in both rows. Available leather-trimmed seats add an upscale vibe, while a power liftgate makes loading up luggage for a weekend in Albuquerque or El Paso easy. The standard 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks expand cargo space to fit up to 37.5 cubic feet of gear, perfect for taking mountain bikes out to the trails at Dripping Springs Natural Area.

2024 Ford Escape Technology

Keeping occupants connected on the go, Escape models come loaded with helpful technology. The latest Sync 4 interface is displayed on a standard 8-inch or available 13.2-inch touchscreen with smartphone integration to access your favorite apps and playlists. An available wireless charging pad keeps devices topped off, while available onscreen navigation provides turn-by-turn directions to sites like the Las Cruces Railroad Museum or the Pan American Center.

2024 Ford Escape Safety

On the safety front, every 2024 Escape comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360, equipping models with essentials like blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assist, and automatic high beams. Available adaptive cruise control with stop & go capability reduces stress in highway traffic, while evasive steering assist can provide an extra measure of reassurance in unexpected situations.
