Ford is renowned for its varied selection of SUVs, which range from city-friendly compacts to rugged off-roaders. What they all have in common is dependable performance and inviting, amenity-rich interiors. If you’re in the market for a new SUV, here are just a few models that you’ll want to check out at your local Ford dealer!

1. 2024 Ford Escape

This sleek compact crossover is the ideal ride for zipping around town thanks to its selection of responsive and efficient engines. This includes the vehicle’s standard 180-hp 1.5L turbo inline-3 and available 192-hp 2.5L inline-4 hybrid system. The latter is especially easy on the wallet, with an EPA-rated fuel economy of 39 MPG combined. Producing 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, the available 2.0L turbo inline-4 serves as the enthusiast’s choice.

The Escape offers an all-wheel drive system that comes with a disconnect feature capable of automatically disabling AWD when it isn’t needed, improving fuel savings. Inside, you’ll find an ultra-modern cabin that boasts over 100 cubic feet of passenger space and plenty of amenities, including dual-zone automatic climate control and a Sync 4 infotainment touchscreen with wireless smartphone integration.

2. 2024 Ford Bronco Sport

As the legendary Bronco’s more compact sibling, the Bronco Sport promises truly impressive off-road performance with its robust powertrain and advanced 4-wheel drive system. Buyers will be able to choose between a 181-hp 1.5L turbo inline-3 and a 250-hp 2.0L turbo inline-4 that also generates a hefty 277 lb-ft of torque. Both pair with an engaging 8-speed automatic transmission that features paddle shifters when the 2.0L motor is selected.

The Bronco Sport’s 4×4 system is available with a twin-clutch rear-drive unit that can send nearly 100% of rear axle torque to a single wheel. Inside the vehicle is a durable, easily washable cabin that offers a maximum cargo capacity of 65.2 cubic feet. The Badlands model can be had with extra storage space under the rear seats.

3. 2023 Ford Explorer

With its larger size and standard 300-hp 2.3L turbo inline-4 engine, the muscular Explorer excels as a family vehicle. If you need even more power, you can opt for the 400-hp 3.6L V6, which allows for a towing capacity of 5,600 pounds. The SUV’s well-tuned MacPherson strut front suspension and independent multi-link rear suspension provides predictable handling and a smooth ride quality.

The Explorer seats up to seven people within its three rows. Available PowerFold third-row seats quickly and easily fold down if you need more cargo room. An 8-way power driver’s seat and tri-zone climate control are standard, plus you can add a dual-screen rear entertainment system to help pass the time during long road trips.
