When it comes to stylish SUVs, the 2021 Escape raises the bar, making it difficult for any other SUVs to compete. In addition to its roomy interior that seats up to five, it gets up to 34 miles per gallon, comes with highly advanced tech and safety features, and has a bold, sleeker look than previous editions. If you’re looking for a vehicle that impresses both inside and out, here are some of the stylish features the 2021 Ford Escape has to offer.
Multiple Performance Options
The Escape’s four engine options are one of its biggest draws for drivers. You can choose between two gas engines, a 1.5-liter, and a 2.0-liter, or go further with less fuel by opting for either the 2.5-liter hybrid or the 2.5-liter plug-in engines. Even if you decide on one of the gas engines, they come with both an Auto Start-Stop feature and EcoBoost technology, which both add up to better fuel efficiency.
Traction control, pedal response, and steering can all be adjusted as needed with the multiple driving modes feature. Four standard modes (Normal, Sport, Slipper, and Eco) and an available Deep Snow/Sand mode for AWD models allow you to take on any adventure.
A Roomy and Modern Interior
With 104 cubic feet of space, the Escape can seat up to five adults and still has plenty of room leftover for transporting cargo. Sliding the rear seats forward provides 37.5 cubic feet of space, while flipping the rear seat completely down adds another 28 cubic feet.
If music is important to you, the available B&O premium sound system is the perfect tailor-fitted solution for listening to music in the Escape. With ten speakers powered by 575 watts throughout the cabin, both driver and passengers can easily hear and appreciate the richness of the music.
Convenient Tech and Connectivity
The Escape has the latest tech features integrated into it as well. With Active Park Assist 2.0, the Escape can maneuver itself both into or out of tight parking spots. While your foot is on the brake pedal, the vehicle will reverse or advance on its own with automated steering. This feature offers three different modes: Parallel, Perpendicular, and Parallel Park Out.
Also, the days of having to bring your smartphone charger with you everywhere you go are over, thanks to this rather convenient feature. Within the center console, the available Wireless Charging Pad allows you to charge any compatible smartphone, and it does so quickly with up to 5W of charging power.
Responsive Safety Monitoring Features
The Escape’s safety features are so advanced, they’re almost futuristic. In every model, you’ll find Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 program. It includes safety features that can automatically activate high-beam headlamps in darker environments, warn you if you begin to drift out of your lane, and alert you to both vehicles in your blind spot or objects ahead of you on the road.
The Speed Sign Recognition feature, which is part of Ford’s Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control program, is definitely an exciting feature. While the system is on, it detects speed limit signs as you’re approaching them and automatically adjusts its speed based on this input.
With multiple engines to choose from, tech-integrated safety features, and a cabin that offers more than enough room and comfort for any family or group of friends, the 2021 Escape is a must-see. Come see our Escapes and test drive one today at Valor Ford in Junction City, Kansas.
