![]() The flat-bottomed unit offered adequate grip, and I liked the fact that it had push-back buttons, not capacitive buttons like the Tiguan. On the center console, the silver knurled knob for selecting the gear immediately had my attention, which has a tactile operating feel. Going by what we know of this display, it offers crisp graphics. I feel that Ford has positioned the 13.2-inch touchscreen at the right height on the dashboard. Overall, the driver’s seat is comfortable, headroom felt adequate, all-around visibility was good. Moving to space and comfort, I’m six-foot tall, and when I entered the cabin, I felt that ingress was easy. I also found the free-standing center-stack screen appealing, particularly with its slim bezels on the top and sides. The horizontal dashboard seems fairly average by current standards, yet the sharply designed instrument binnacle, housing a fully digital driver information display, caught my attention. The interior of the 2024 Ford Escape Hybrid presents a modern look. Interior While I feel that the quality of plastics can improve further, the driver’s seat of the Escape offers plenty of space and comfort, with features like the wireless charging pad, USB-A & -C slots, and cavernous storage pockets within reach. Although Ford has the Bronco Sport in the same segment, I wish they had infused the more mainstream Escape Hybrid with a bit more of an SUV-like presence. In my opinion, the 2024 Escape Hybrid lacks a strong character. The Escape’s sleeker and more rounded design sets it apart from the boxier and aggressive Bronco Sport, despite both vehicles sharing the same platform. However, this assertive character doesn’t carry over to the rest of the exterior, especially on the sides, where it seems to be lacking. I think the sweptback dual-element headlamps that give the impression of eyes with raised eyebrows and the broad octagonal grille that emphasizes the vehicle’s width do give the 2024 Escape Hybrid a fair amount of aggression on the front. However, after seeing it at the 2023 LA Auto Show, particularly in comparison to its rivals present at the event, I couldn’t help but feel it doesn’t quite match the flair of the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and Kia Sportage Hybrid, or the athleticism and sharpness of the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The 2024 Ford Escape Hybrid carries a true crossover persona, blending a low and curved body with some aggressive features. I love what designers in Dearborn have done with the daytime running lights, and the light bar that follows the hood shutline. TopElectricSUV says Design The 2024 Escape carries forward the updated styling from last year’s car.
