Safety
The Ford Escape has its Latch connectors right out in the open; they’re easy to find and use. There are front- and side-impact airbags to protect the driver and front passenger, as well as side curtain airbags to keep the rear passengers safe, too. The Escape also has antilock brakes and stability and traction control.
The 2009 Escape’s crash-test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety have improved to Good, the IIHS’ highest rating. Nice! Ford Escapes from the 2005-08 model years only received Acceptable crash-test ratings. The 2009 Escape scored well in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s crash-test rating. It received five stars, the highest score, in frontal and side crashes. But it only got a three-star rating for its rollover resistance.
