Which Ford Escape has heated seats?
Heated front seats are commonly found on mid- to upper-trim Ford Escapes, with Titanium usually including them as standard. SE and SEL trims typically offer heated seats via optional Cold Weather or Comfort packages, while the base S trim rarely includes them unless you add options. Exact availability varies by model year and market, so check the window sticker for the vehicle you’re considering.
Which trims typically offer heated seats?
The following guide reflects typical configurations in recent model years. Packaging can differ by year and region, so use it as a general reference and verify on the specific vehicle.
- S trim: Heated front seats are not standard. In some markets and years, they can be added through a Cold Weather Package, which may also include a heated steering wheel.
- SE trim: Heated front seats are usually available with a Cold Weather or Comfort Package; not always standard on every version.
- SEL trim: Heated front seats are commonly included with available packages, or may be standard depending on the year and market.
- Titanium trim: Heated front seats are typically standard, and may be paired with a heated steering wheel and other premium comfort features.
- Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid variants: Availability aligns with the gasoline trims; higher trims (SE/SEL/Titanium) usually include heated seats, while base S may require a package in some markets.
For buyers, this means if heated seats are a priority, target Titanium or look for the SE/SEL with the Cold Weather or Comfort Package. Always confirm the exact feature list on the specific vehicle you’re considering.
Market variations and how to verify
Ford’s packaging changes by model year and by region. In the United States and Canada, heated seats are most reliably found on Titanium and on SE/SEL with the appropriate package; the base S often requires an add-on. Always verify with the dealer and read the window sticker to see whether heated seats are included or available on the exact trim and year you want.
How to verify on a specific vehicle
Look for mentions of a Cold Weather Package or explicit “Heated Front Seats” in the features list. If you see a heated steering wheel listed as well, it may indicate a bundled winter package. Dealer configurators and window stickers are the best sources for precise, year-specific details.
Summary
In short, heated front seats are standard on Ford Escape Titanium in most markets and model years, with SE and SEL offering them via optional packages or, less commonly, as standard in certain configurations. The base S typically does not include heated seats unless an add-on package is chosen. Always verify the exact features for the year and region you’re buying in.
