Ford Escape Ground Clearance by Year

The Ford Escape’s listed ground clearance ranges from 6.8 to 8 inches across catalog years 2001–2022. This is the vertical space between the vehicle’s underside and the ground, and it can help you judge how much room the vehicle has over uneven surfaces or obstacles.

The range covers multiple model years and configurations, so it does not mean every Escape has the same clearance. The specific figure can vary by year or trim; use the catalog entry for the relevant version rather than treating the full range as a single rating. The available facts do not identify which years or trims correspond to each figure.

If you need the exact ground clearance for a particular Escape and it is not listed for that version, confirm it in the owner’s manual. For measurements tied to vehicle configuration, check the vehicle information and specifications for your model year and trim.

Stored ground clearance by year. Missing years have no clearance figure in this extract.

The largest stored change occurs between 2020 and 2021, when ground clearance decreases.
