If you’ve been searching for a vehicle that combines the practicality of an SUV with the smooth handling and reasonable price point of a car, we have good news for you! The 2021 Ford Escape is the sporty crossover SUV that you’ve been wanting. Check out why we think the Ford Escape is a vehicle worth test driving
Towing Options
This SUV packs a powerful punch for its size. With the 2.5-liter four-inline engine, you can pull a respectable 1,500 pounds. Stick with the 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine and take your hauling power to 2,000 pounds. However, if you want to haul a boat or some cumbersome gear? Go for the 2-liter Ecoboost engine, add the optional Class II Trailer Tow Package and watch your towing capabilities soar up to a whopping 3,500 pounds.
Wireless Charging Station
While some vehicle manufacturers opt to fill their cars with numerous unsightly USB slots, the Escape goes for a classier and more functional approach. The wireless charger allows you to charge your phone effortlessly. We love having no cords to tangle or lose.
Folding Seating
One of the perks of owning an SUV is being able to adapt to whatever the day brings. The Ford Escape has a second row of seating perfect for carpooling. And days where you’re hauling more cargo than people? The second row folds down to give you plenty of room in the back. If you’re worried about those times you have people and items, Ford was thinking about that possibility as well! The second row in the Escape splits, allowing you to fold down only part of it. You absolutely can have the best of both worlds.
Hybrid Choices
Ford knows that the hybrid vehicle market is thriving, so they made the Ford Escape with not one but two hybrid engine options. If going a bit greener suits your lifestyle, you’ll love the choice of a hybrid
engine or a plug-in hybrid featuring a 2.5-liter iVCT Atkinson-cycle hybrid engine.
Rotary Gear Shift Dial
Every inch of space in your vehicle is precious, especially in the front row, which can often feel crowded in cars with bulky gear shift levers. The Ford Escape provides a rotary gear shift dial that takes up virtually no space. This feature leaves room for a more significant compartment bin and more intelligently arranged cupholders. Plus, now changing gears is as simple as the turn of a dial.
Hand-Free Liftgate
We’ve all been there, that awkward moment when your arms are full, but you need to open up the back of your car or SUV, forcing you to set down your items and manually open the liftgate. With the Escapes hands-free foot-activated liftgate, you’ll never have to drop your groceries again. When you have the Intelligent Access key fob in your bag or pocket, swing your foot under the bumper, and your liftgate will open. The 2021 Ford Escape is the crossover SUV we can’t stop raving over. Don’t miss out on your chance to drive this versatile and sporty vehicle! Come on over and take one for a whirl at Jack Madden Ford in Norwood today.
