It’s an exciting time to be a Ford fan as they pivot their production from cars to SUVs. The new 2020 Ford Escape is Ford’s attempt to give drivers the peppy, fun drive of their old hatchbacks with a more practical SUV body. Here are three reasons why the new Ford Escape is one of the must-drive cars of the year.
1. Your Choice of Powertrains
For the new Escape, Ford has given us several choices when it comes to powertrains. So no matter your budget or driving preferences there should be something here for you. In the Escape, you can choose between two gas engines, a turbocharged 1.5 liter 181-horsepower three-cylinder engine, or a turbocharged 2.0 liter 250-horsepower four-cylinder engine. Both are lots of fun, but if you are looking to get some extra kick in your step, then the four-cylinder engine is going to be your best bet.
The Escape also offers us two electric hybrid choices for people who want to get a bit more mileage in their car. The first is a traditional hybrid, and the second is a plug-in hybrid. Both are paired with a four-cylinder 2.5-liter gas engine. Most of these variations, both gas and hybrid, are offered in AWD or front-wheel drive. With all of these choices, you may need to test drive a couple of Escapes to find the right one for you.
2. Smart and Fun Looking
The 2020 Escape is undoubtedly a good-looking SUV. It does a nice job of appearing fun without being outrageous. If you are a fan of Ford’s car stylings, then you will love the Escape. Especially for people who are tired of dour German-styling, the friendly American Ford is going to be a breath of friendly, fresh air.
3. An Amazingly Safe Drive
It’s great that the Escape is both fun to drive and fun to look at, but it’s also important that it is safe for you and others on the road. The good news is that the Ford is one of the safer cars on the road. The 2020 Escape was a Top Safety Pick of the IIHS and it was awarded a 5-star safety rating by the NHTSA.
The Escape is not just safe because of the way it has been built, but also because it comes with a lot of smart safety tech. This system is collectively called Co-Pilot360. It comes standard on all Escape models, and it offers driver-assistance features like blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and automated emergency braking. With this kind of tech on your side, you can be confident of your safety and help make the road a safer place for everyone.
Nowadays, people are looking for a vehicle that can do a little bit of everything. Fun to drive, safe, good-looking, and practical. The Escape offers all of this and more. Visit Apple Ford Shakopee to test drive a new Ford Escape today.
