Searching for the perfect fuel efficient, family-friendly SUV can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. When you shop at Rochester Ford, you’ll find a great selection of SUVs, including the popular Ford Escape. This model offers seating for five, up-to-date safety technology, and more. Take a look at what you can expect from the 2020 Ford Escape.
Trim Options
There are four trim levels to choose from on the Escape: S, SE, SEL, and Titanium. Some of these trims are also available in hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, which we’ll discuss more in the next section. Starting with the S trim, you get features such as dual chrome exhaust tips, a manual liftgate, daytime running lamps, skid plates, and a body-color rear spoiler. Moving through the lineup you can expect to gain features such as black roof rack side rails, LED signature lighting, fog lamps, and a hands-free foot-activated liftgate. Color options for the Escape include Rapid Red and Magnetic.
Powertrain Options
A variety of powertrain options are available for the Ford Escape, so you can get exactly the power and efficiency combination you need. Starting out the lineup is the 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine, followed by the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine. Both of these motors are paired to the SelectShift eight-speed automatic transmission that glides seamlessly through the gears. For the more eco-friendly driver, there’s also a 2.5-liter inline-four Atkinson-cycle hybrid engine and a plug-in hybrid of the same block. Both of these engines come mated to a continuously variable transmission.
Driver-Assist Features
Helping you stay alert and aware out on the road are a variety of driver-assist features in the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of safety technologies. One of the available features with this system is adaptive cruise control with stop and go. This system allows you to set your speed and it then keeps you at a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you by applying the brakes if necessary. Also available with this system are blind-spot warning with cross-path detection, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and more.
Modern Technology and Interior
Inside the 2020 Ford Escape, you and your passengers will enjoy a comfortable ride with plenty to keep you entertained while you’re on the road. The Sync 3 infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can access all your favorite and useful apps when you’re traveling. Cloth front bucket seats are standard, but higher trims offer ActiveX seating materials for even more comfort. Upgrading trims will also get you 10-way power-adjustable heated front seats. The best-in-class rear seat legroom of 40.7 inches makes the back seat a desirable place to sit on any road trip.
