Design
The new Ford Escape has an eye-catching design that blurs the line between a hatchback and an SUV. It has enough ground clearance to provide a commanding driving position but is easy to get in and out of. A bold grille, aggressive stance, and slim LED headlights give the new Ford Escape a purposeful look, and an LED lightbar adds some visual punch. Waterloo residents who want to turn heads can choose the new Ford Escape in ST-Line trim. This model has 19-inch Ebony-painted aluminum wheels and color-keyed exterior accents.
Performance
The new Ford Escape has two turbocharged EcoBoost engines. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options are also available. The entry-level engine can propel the new Ford Hybrid to 60 mph in just 7.7 seconds and cover up to 42 miles on a single gallon of gas. New Ford Escape models with gasoline engines have smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmissions, and hybrid models are equipped with continuously variable transmissions. Front-wheel and all-wheel drive powertrains are available.
Trim Levels
All new Ford Escapes are impressively equipped. Even the entry-level Active trim has dual-zone automatic climate control and 17-inch aluminum wheels, and models with ST-Line trim cosset drivers and front-seat passengers with power contour bucket seats. ST-Line select trim ups the ante with heated front seats, a power liftgate, and a remote start, and models with Platinum trim have a long list of luxury features and stylish 19-inch aluminum wheels. Cedar Rapids residents who want every feature the new Ford Escape offers can choose the top-of-the-line ST-Line Elite trim level.
Luxury
The spacious and comfortable cabin has thoughtful features to make life easier. It provides ample room for up to five adults. The cabin has handy storage areas; every passenger can access a recharging outlet. Available features include a heated steering wheel and a tilt-and-slide panoramic moonroof, and Cedar Falls residents who love music will adore the available Bang & Olufsen audio system.
Technology
All new Ford Escape models have powerful infotainment systems, large LCD touchscreen displays, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Some models have an adaptive cruise control system that automatically maintains safe distances, making highway driving much less stressful. The Ford Co-Pilot 360 suite of advanced driver assistance features is standard equipment with every trim level, and an available 360-degree camera makes parking and maneuvering in tight spaces child's play.
