Ford delivered an Escape SE to us with an MSRP of $33,615, including options and destination. The Escape was painted in a White Platinum Metallic Tri-Coat (a $595 option) and featured the SE Sport Appearance Package ($1,295) that includes both a leather-wrapped steering wheel and 19-inch black aluminum wheels. Our particular SE also came with the optional 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which added another $1,295 to the price; that engine was mated to a six-speed automatic transmission providing power to all four wheels.
Inside, leather-trimmed cloth seats provide seating for five. The optional Sync 3 entertainment system featured Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and it came as part of the SE Technology Package (another $1,395) that also included rear parking assist and blind spot monitoring technology.
