2023 Ford Escape in Birmingham AL

2023 Ford Escape Overview

One of the best-selling small crossovers in America has become even more compelling due to an exterior refresh, reconfigured trim levels and options and many refined technologies. You can now test-drive the 2023 Ford Escape in Birmingham at Stivers Ford of Birmingham, which is the local Ford dealer serving Birmingham Hoover Bessemer Huntsville and the neighboring communities. The trim levels begin with the base Escape, which is not only affordable but delivers an impressive value proposition. At not much uptick in cost, the Active adds a range of creature comforts and technologies. The PHEV is similarly equipped but with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The ST-Line features a performance powertrain and is available in a number of different configurations, and the top-spec Platinum includes most of the ST-Line features but also some exclusives, such as premium synthetic leather upholstery.

Dedicated cargo space is more than 34 cubic feet, and more than 60 cubes is available overall. If it fits your budget, we do recommend the Active as it adds popular features like zoned climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, satellite radio and rear USB ports. Beyond the active, you can expect heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a larger center touch screen.
