2012 Ford Escape Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr SUV turbocharged 240hp 2.0L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Front seats are comfortable AFTER removing headrests and re-installing them backwards. see full Ford Escape review
2011 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed automatic FWD
Wide bench seat with no humps. Middle passenger has good leg room where many other vehicles have a large hump to straddle. see full Ford Escape review
2012 Ford Escape Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4
6-speed automatic FWD
It's a tad bit tight in the drivers seat. I have to postion the seat just right to avoid hitting my right knee on the center console, and I frequently hit the light switch when getting out. I'm only 5'9", so not that large of a person. see full Ford Escape review
