Ford has stunned critics and fans alike with the impressive standard and available features of the 2021 Ford Escape. Rochester Ford has all the models available for you to explore and customize an Escape tailor-made for you.

1. FordPass™ App

Ford has created a unique app programmed to keep you connected to your vehicle through your smartphone. Simply download the complimentary app and you’ll have the ability to start or stop your engine, lock or unlock your doors, locate your vehicle, schedule a service, and access your vehicle’s diagnostics such as oil life and fuel level. You can even use the app to track your Wi-Fi usage when you use the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot through FordPass Connect.

2. Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology

This advanced technology is a set of driver-assist detections and alerts designed to keep you focused and your hands on the wheel. The available features use Auto High-Beam Headlamps and Rear View Camera for high visibility in both forward and reverse. The Lane-Keeping System detects if you are unintentionally drifting, while the Pre-Collision Assist uses automatic emergency braking should your vehicle detect an obstacle in its path.

3. Selectable Drive Modes

The 5 Selectable Drive Modes allow you to toggle between separate settings for separate terrains. Use Eco Mode, Sport Mode, and Normal Mode for everyday driving in typical conditions. Use the Slippery Mode when challenged with icy or wet conditions, and the Sand Mode in dryer, softer conditions. In a large world with unpredictable and unknown terrains, the Ford Escape is prepared to adjust to wherever you take it.

4. Cold Weather Package

Those Minnesota winters can take a toll on you and your car. Ford’s new Cold Weather Package is available with automatic temperature control complete with a rear air duct, heated side view mirrors, premium leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel, heated front seats, as well as a remote start system to warm up the cabin before you step outside.

5. Cabin Space

Ford has given the Escape more legroom, more personal space, and more cargo room than previous generations. This is made possible, in part, by the innovative sliding function of the 60/40 split-folding back seats. This sliding feature creates up to an additional 40.7 inches of legroom, making this five-seater a best-in-class.

The rear seats add usable space to the cabin, but Ford has also redone the center console. This redesign has given more storage space, a new Rotary Gear Shift Dial, as well as newly arranged cupholders, USB port, and wireless charging pad. For more accessibility to all of this space, the available Hands-Free Foot-Activated Liftgate allows you to easily, and automatically, use a wave of your foot to open the rear gate, when the Intelligent Access Key fob, is in range.

The Ford Escape brings power and responsibility together with its innovative aspects. Call or stop by Rochester Ford today to curate your own set of standard and available features and build the Escape that seamlessly fits with your life.
