The Ford Escape spares no effort or expense at being one of the brands most exceptional SUV models yet. The 2017 Ford Escape enters the market at a reasonable price, considering the features and benefits it has to offer. Ford has certainly stepped up its game in terms of advanced tech and gadgets included in the new Escape and the new EcoBoost engine has also become the talk of the town. The turbocharged 1.5-liter (standard in the SE model) engine packs a punch with 180 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Ford offers its drivers options though. There’s also a 2.0 liter EcoBoost and which offers 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft torque as well as a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder option. All engine options come with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Being jam-packed with latest tech is something that makes the 2017 Ford Escape so popular. Here’s a brief look at what tech you can expect:

  • Ford Sync Connect – this technology allows owners to control various vehicle features via their smartphone, remotely start and lock/unlock the vehicle, schedule starting times, check fuel levels remotely, check up on upcoming service requirements, locate the vehicle at any time and more. If you’re worried about what this means for security, don’t be! There’s a 2-step authorization process required in order to carry out these functions.
  • Auto stop-start function – this helps fuel economy by saving around 6% in regular start and stop type traffic.
  • Adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning.
  • Brake pre-conditioning.
  • Lane-assist alert and active lane aid which can help with steering corrections.
  • Parking assist functions where driver has pedal and gearshift control while the system controls precise, safe steering.
In addition to these new technologies, the Ford Escape this year sees some of its old technology make a re-appearance. These include auto high beams, blind spot monitor, hill-start assistant, and vaunted foot-activated tailgate.
