Learn all about the 2023 Ford Escape ST-Line Elite

- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- The ST-Line of the redesigned Escape features some unique highlights inside and out. The Elite trim level comes fairly loaded with the option for a 2.0L turbocharged engine or 2.5L traditional hybrid. It features some great standard technology like a 13.2" Sync 4 screen, heated 1st row seats and heated steering wheel.
You'll find the ST-Line Elite with an available Premium Technology Package that adds in a 360 camera, Park Assist, 10 speaker sound system, Head up Display and unique leather seats. I'd recommend that package for people who enjoy more technology in their rides.
In this video you're going to learn everything you need to know about the Ford Escape ST-Line Elite while I show you the difference between this and other trim levels.

My dealer told me that the memory buttons (1, 2, 3 for the seat and the mirrors) also remember the adjustments you have made to the head up display. So you can store the preferred vertical height and position for the data on the HUD. The height of the seat will affect your view of the HUD.
Well that's neat.. I wasn't aware that the memory button saved the HUD preset too. Thanks for pointing that out!
Hey Steve, my grandma got it recently because her 2021 Escape got totaled in a crash, and she loves it. I love to learn more features to show her, she is always impressed, thanks for making this video!
You're welcome and hopefully your grandma is ok from the crash. Glad she's loving the new 2023 Escape though!
Have her check these videos out to learn more about the tech in her Escape too:

Sync4 Screen: ruclips.net/video/CePpiA_PMFk/видео.html
@@CarsWithSteve She actually did do the Sync4 Screen without me asking her to, and yes she's okay just some broken ribs. She understand the cluster screen instantly cause it was similar to the other one.
Good that she's ok! Hope the new ride treats her well
your granda is a puregangsta. I never heard of a grandma who got in a car crash and loved the moment even if it is totalled.
not the crash the new car.@@daleoakenshield2838
Thanks for the video. Answered all my questions I had. I was undecided on the sunroof until I watched you video, definitely going to get it.
You're welcome! What build are you going with?
The ST-Line Elite with the 2.0L EcoBoost.
Do you know roughly how long it takes from order to delivery?
Nice! Had a few people mention they saw theirs within a 6 - 8 weeks. I'd say at the most you're looking at 4 months
I wanted 8 months for my Maverick.
i really liked how you showed the amount of space for the rear cargo area. im dreaming here! but this would be a nice little suv, im 27
Glad people actually like that detail! What build do you think you'd go with if you went for an Escape?
I’m picking mine up coming Thursday. All back and tinted.
Good call on the dark tint, it'll look great with the black exterior and the tinted windows!
I'm getting mine this week with carvinized gray and tinted windows can't wait
That's exciting! What car are you replacing with the new Escape?
@@CarsWithSteve actually it’s going to be my first car I’m 20yrs
Congrats, enjoy the new ride!
Hi Steve, Is the head restraint 2 or 4 way? Thanks. great video.
Thanks! The Escape is only a 2 way adjustable headrest
Hey Steve can you do a night video to show the ambient lighting? No one has done a night video on the st line elite or platinum
Great idea! I’ll try to get my hands on one at night in the next month or so
Also a good idea is if you can inform whether this escape has puddle lights. I saw few vids at night and when unlocking it everything was pitch black (excluding the headlights of course)
Super nice #Ford 🏁🏁🏁🏁
Right? I like the black wheels and interior highlights in the ST-Line
Hello Steve with the 501a package will it have keypad entry ?.... thank you
It would be standard in the 2023 Escape Platinum, ST-Line Elite and PHEV but it's optional now in the 2024s
I think you misspoke when you said 3.5L ecoboost has 2500 towing capacity. It’s supposed to be the 2.0L ecoboost has 2500 towing capacity. Great review over all!
Haha a 3.5L EcoBoost in the Escape would be pretty wild
What size is the tow hitch receiver, 1-1/4-inch or 2 inch? Thanks
Class II receiver in the Escape is a 2"
What are the hard button beside the volume control for??
If it's the button down the center stack under the media screen you're talking about, it's for selecting different drive modes.
Thanks for your videos, very helpful! I am trying to decide between 2024 Ford Escape ST Elite and 2024 Ford Escape Platinum. I like the sport mode and the "get up and go" of the ST Elite lol -- does the Platinum have the same sport mode? (Are they the same basically except for the design touches like the seats and steering wheel?) Thanks for your help.
You're welcome! They both have the sport mode, the big question you need to ask is if you want the extra design touches of the ST-Line Elite. The red stitching and other interior highlights do give it a bit more of an aggressive look. Which interior do you like the look of more?
@@CarsWithSteve thanks so much for replying! I like the steering wheel of the st line but prefer the beige-y color on the interior roof area that I can get in the platinum vs the black. I don’t like the black wheels of the st. I really like the coast to coast light bar. I like the vapor blue color. I want to get the panoramic roof and premium technology package. My dealer only had the st line to test drive so I haven’t been able to drive the platinum yet. I really liked how the st line had some power to it vs my 2014 escape titanium lol. If the platinum has the same power, I guess I would lean then to the platinum?
anytime! Do you know if the ST-Line was the hybrid or 2.0L? The different trims will handle the same way if they have the same engine! If you like everything about the ST-Line Elite but the wheels.. you could always have a shop hydro dip them to make it a different color
@@CarsWithSteve thank you Steve! It was the 2.0 not hybrid. I haven’t test driven the hybrid yet. Last question if you don’t mind lol 😅😅😅Would one of the hybrid engines have the same “get-up-and-go”-ness turbo power as the 2.0 ecoboost? Thank you!!
The hybrids don't compare power wise to the 2.0L. Horsepower is close but the torque isn't as high in the hybrid so you won't get as much launch but it's still a fun drive
I like the video but since you have reviewed the Ford Edge and Escape. Which is the better vehicle.
Depends on what you define as better.. Escape has the available hybrid/plugin so you'll get way better mileage but the Edge has a powerful 2.7L turbo in the ST trim. I like power so the Edge ST would be the way I'd go. The Edge would give you more cargo and interior space too. The Escape would be the way to go if you want better fuel economy or a more modern interior. They can tow the same when you get an Escape with the 2.0L turbo
@@CarsWithSteve I bought the 23 Edge titanium and am considering trading for the Escape Platinum with 2.0L. I was looking for a more tech filled vehicle. I do not tow but I had a 2013 Escape and am wondering if the Edge is still a good SUV or if the Escape is more of Fords current future.
Oh tough choice. The Edge is most likely being discontinued after the 2024 model year but Ford still hasn't officially announced that yet. The Escape is built on the same platform as the Maverick and Bronco Sport so I can't see it going away anytime soon. If the Edge is still treating you well I'd hang off for a few years but if you aren't going to take too much of an equity hit it could be worth looking into the Escape
We just received our 2023 Ford Escape hybrid plug-in. It's pretty loaded, I think it has everything but the nice sunroof. I really wish now we had ordered it, but husband didn't even ask me so I lost out there. I am having issues with the "door ajar" alert staying on. We seem to an issue with one of the back doors, which we can take it in for that. Also, when we roll down the passenger side window while driving, something is happening with the screen that's in front of the steering wheel. Things start blinging, the screen blinks with the warning that the passenger door is ajar and then back to seatbelts and then back to passenger door is ajar. When we roll the window up, that stops. But when we start it up to go somewhere, the passenger door ajar warning comes on and stays on. Also, on the steering wheel, I thought I could switch radio channels with those two buttons that look like it's meant for that, but all it does is go from AM to FM to Siriux Radio. It doesn't scan to the next channel on the, for instance, FM dial. I think there's something electrical going on but lucklily it's brand new and I'm sure Mullinax Ford will straighten that out.
The door ajar alert is a new one. You could check out the lock mechanism on the door when it's open to see if it's stuck in place but with it being so new.. I'd say have the dealer figure it out under warranty. It sounds like the cluster message is tied into that door issue so once that's figured out it should go away.
You could use the steering wheel buttons to seek, you just have to do a longer press and hold to do it! Watch these other videos on the Escape that talk about all the technology they have!

@@CarsWithSteve Oh gosh, thanks for replying so quick! We are going to take it in and let Mullinax Ford look at the door ajar thing. I really appreciate your answer about the radio channel thing. I’ll try it out again. Gosh, your video really makes me wish we had the big clear top!! Argh! Oh well it’s great the way it is. We love it!
You're welcome! Glad that you're loving it even though it doesn't have the sunroof. Maybe the next one ;)
Does it not have a garage door opener? I just got this
The ST-Line Elite and Platinum have it standard, the Plugin is optional.. Unavailable in the other trims..
No cvt is the best part to me
Which engine in the Escape do you think you’d go for?
How do you check how much gas you have left in your car vacant read it no good
Here are some videos that go over the cluster. There are 2 different styles:
12.3" cluster: ruclips.net/video/vAMl4DZSegY/видео.html
8" cluster: ruclips.net/video/5-kmSrSA07Y/видео.html
Entirely overpriced.
Compared to what?
Mostly, everything is this segment is more expensive, this is a bargain.
