Prepare for the ultimate everyday upgrade.
The 2024 Ford Escape Platinum proves ready to thrill, delivering pure EcoBoost power to Saskatchewan. It’s a twin-scroll beast that sails down the highway, yielding a top-speed ratio of 122 MPH and a 0 to 60 rating of approximately 5.7 seconds; and its eight-speed automatic transmission affords peerless handling, allowing it to transition from the pavement to the trails. This all-terrain inline-four impresses.
It also promises superior utility.
Thoughtfully crafted for everyday adventures, the 2024 Ford Escape Platinum delivers the comfort drivers crave - and it effortlessly surpasses the competition (including the new Honda CR-V LX).
Slide inside the 2024 Ford Escape Platinum and discover an expansive cabin, able to accommodate up to five passengers with ease. The extended wheelbase - which measures 106.7 inches - emphasizes comfort, offering ample room:
2024 Ford Escape Platinum: Dimensions
Head Room: 40.0 inches, 39.3 inches
Leg Room: 42.4 inches, 38.9 inches
Shoulder Room: 57.6 inches, 57.0 inches
Hip Room: 55.2 inches, 53.3 inches
The Escape is engineered for comfort, allowing riders to indulge in long commutes and backroad adventures with equal ease. The Honda CR-V, however, is less accommodating.
Inside the new CR-V LX families will find a five-passenger configuration. However, the back row proves tight - offering only 38.2 inches of head room, 52.6 inches of hip room, and 55.9 inches of shoulder room. Despite boasting a larger profile than the Escape (184.8 inches in length versus 180.inches), this SUV compromises rider comfort.
The Winner: 2024 Ford Escape Platinum
Slip inside this SUV and discover exclusive ActiveX seating. The perforated material perfectly wraps around the multi-contoured cushions, delivering a premium ride. Standard power adjusters (10-way for the driver and 6-way for the co-pilot) allow for custom alignments, while integrated heating technology proves the ultimate counter to every winter morning.
Strategically-placed infotainment features - including a wireless charging pad and USB-A and USB-C outlets - allow each rider to take advantage of the SYNC 4 system; and ample storage, such as the overhead-mounted bin and the centre console, accommodates everyday items with ease. To further impress, a leather-trimmed seating upgrade is available to increase overall comfort.
The 2024 Ford Escape Platinum offers a refined ride to Saskatchewan families. Its Honda competitor… doesn’t.
Inside the 2024 CR-V LX drivers will find cloth seating. While the driver does enjoy 10-way power adjusters, the co-pilot will be offered none; and no material upgrade is available. Additionally, a lack of USB ports and wireless charging capabilities will hinder every ride.
