I was looking at the 2022 and I noticed the shifter had the +/- lever on the stick. My SES shifter has no such button, and has them only on the wheel.
Can anyone who's seen a newer SES confirm or deny?

It still has the sport suspension, but there's no mention of paddle shifters. When did they phase that out? 2020? 2021?

Must have been 2020, I had a 21 SES loaner last year ( Escape was burning antifreeze, had to have a short block on warranty) and no paddles

I have a 2020 SES with no paddles.

I [think] late 2017 was the last US model to have them. When changing my 2016 Focus (using ForTran) from the PRNDL to PRNDS (adding sport mode), I noticed "paddle shifter" was an option. The shift knob was $200 less, so I went with that option. Haven't checked my 2018 EcoSport (yet), planning on checking that out in the spring. I have a heated steering wheel and living in NY, use it quite often and do not want to lose that.

I have a 2019 and it has the shifting on the stick too.

I have a heated wheel, too, so it looks like you can keep it.

Had the heated wheel and seats in my Escape ( seats in 2 Fusions I had) glad the Eco has them( upstate NY here)

Mine came from Newfoundland, of all places. It has the "cold weather package."

• Floor Liners, Front and Rear
• Heated Sideview Mirrors
• Heated Steering Wheel
• Windshield Wiper De-Icer.
• 2018 Ford EcoSport Compact SUV Review | The English Car Guy in Utah

It also has crossbars on the roof and that little black protector on the front of the hood. I don't know if it was a dealer-added thing or what, but I like it.
And side window deflectors. I wouldn't have ordered that, but I have them, so they'll stay.

 

[Darksider]

Yea have the cold weather package too, the hood protecter must be dealer.

So, the paddle shifters only came on the '18s?

 

[XR650R]

Yup. Only on '18s. I checked out other SESs on CarMax and other used car sites, and the '19+ don't have paddle shifters, just the shifter button on the stick.
