Front Comfort

The Escape’s seating position is very upright, and the seat felt small to some of our drivers, with the seatback and bottom cushion too short. Around the driver’s legs are numerous hard plastic panels, which make it hard to find a comfortable position. The door tops are also hard, and the elbow rests on the doors and center console are covered in spongy rubber that, although better than the hard plastic, is uncomfortable to the touch. Throw in the tilt-only steering wheel and it’s hard to get comfortable in the Escape.
