2012 Ford Escape Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
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 |

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 |

2013 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it. see full Hyundai Elantra review |
