Used 2020 Ford Escape SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 Escape is a small SUV available in five trim levels: S, SE, SE Sport, SEL and Titanium. Three engines are available depending on the trim you pick. You'll need to pay a little attention when shopping; one of them is a hybrid, and Ford doesn't explicitly call it out. Feature highlights include:
Which Escape trim does Edmunds recommend?
The Escape offers a decent set of standard features on each trim level and a host of available options. The latter can add up, however, often to an eye-popping price for a small SUV. The SEL trim is a good way to keep things in check. It comes with all of the lower trim features (power-adjustable driver's seat, Sync 3 infotainment) and adds other desirable items such as a hands-free liftgate, roof rails, rear parking sensors and a heated steering wheel.
