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.

All 2023 Ford Escape models available through our dealership serving Birmingham Hoover Bessemer Huntsville have the same form factor: 6.9-inch minimum ground clearance, 106.7-inch wheelbase and 180.5-inch overall length, which is a hair more than 15 feet. The base model has 17-inch steel wheels. The Active upgrades the wheels to alloy and adds more chrome trim to the aesthetic. Beyond this trim level, the wheels are upgraded to 18 inches and then 19 inches with the ST-Line Elite and Platinum. Roof rails are standard starting with the ST-Line, and the top two trims have all LED exterior lighting.
Interior - 2023 Ford Escape in Birmingham AL
The 2023 Ford Escape is a five-passenger vehicle, and while this is a compact crossover, the interior roominess may surprise you. Headroom ranges from 40 inches in the first row to about 39 in the second. Front legroom is more than 42 inches. Second-row legroom is approximately 39 inches. 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.
