2019 Ford Escape in Rochester, MN | Car Dealership in Rochester, MN

Modern life is fast-paced. There’s work, the gym, soccer practice, and perhaps you have a painting class to go to today. You still have to shop for groceries, drop off clothes at the cleaner’s, get a haircut, go to the doctor’s — the list goes on and on. That’s why you need a car to accommodate your on-the-go lifestyle, and right now, no vehicle can do that better than the 2019 Ford Escape.

Below are some of the best features you’ll find on the Escape, a ride perfect for your fast-paced world.

Capability

With four trims to choose from — the S, the SE, SEL, and Titanium — there’s a model that fits your lifestyle. The Escape S comes standard with Ford’s 2.5-liter in-line 4-cylinder engine that puts out 168 horsepower.

With the SE, SEL, and Titanium trims, you can choose between the 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine that delivers balanced power and efficiency. Or you may opt for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost with Twin-Scroll technology that harvests exhaust from two cylinders in alternating sequence for maximum torque and 245 horsepower.

All Escape models come with Ford’s six-speed SelectShift transmission that provides the convenience of auto shifting or the thrilling feel of manual shifting. The EcoBoost engine also sports the Auto Start-Stop technology. This feature allows the 2019 Ford Escape to automatically shut off when you come to a stop and then start back up when you press the accelerator. With this, the automobile will consume less fuel, saving you money.

The Escape also has an available Intelligent 4WD system that monitors road conditions and tire slippage. The system can deliver more power to the rear wheels when needed for maximum traction on all surfaces.

Convenience

Ford designed the Escape with your active lifestyle in mind. Features like the available Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start let you open the car with the key fob in your pocket before starting the car and locking its doors behind you.

Whether you’re going shopping at the big box store or loading up for a camping trip in the mountains, the Escape has plenty of cargo space. Rear seats fold down to provide 68 cubic-feet of storage, and you can open the rear door with the hands-free, foot-activated liftgate.

The standard Rearview Camera gives you a clear picture of what’s behind you. It’s very helpful in crowded parking lots or when avoiding that bicycle while backing out of your garage. And if you don’t see it, the Reverse Sensing System will alert you of an object is in your path.

Technology

The Escape is well equipped with driver-assist technologies, like the Blind Spot Information System, Lane Keeping Assist, and the Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support. The Enhanced Active Park Assist system can virtually steer itself into or out of a parking spot.

The Ford+Alexa system of the Escape allows you to access driving directions, music, and make phone calls or text with simple voice commands. Just say “Alexa” and state your instructions. Alexa does the rest.

There are so many features in the 2019 Ford Escape that will make your life easier. Come test drive one today and see which ones fit your on-the-go lifestyle best.
