> 2013 Escape Features: Capabilities

Simply fold down both rear seat backs for a flat load surface to transport items large and small. Don’t need all that space? Fold down either side of the 60/40 split rear seat and you can still seat one or two rear passengers and have additional cargo room. If you’re carrying items such as luggage, leave the seats up and you have 34.3 cu. ft. of space. On select models, the load floor is adjustable. Set it in the high position and you have a flat load floor when the seats are folded down. In its low position, you’ll have additional cargo room. There’s even a storage area in the second-row passenger-side footwell for small items.

G-forces in a corner transfer more traction to your outside tires than to your inside ones. Torque Vectoring Control enhances that by transferring torque to the wheels that have the most grip. It virtually eliminates understeer, forcing the front end to hug the inside of each curve. Translation: More agility and sporty handling in the turns.
