Let’s talk about the 2020 Ford Escape. It’s a new model year, and the SUV has been completely redone. Ford has added more versatility, special features, and technology to this popular package. At Bill Knight Ford dealer Stillwater OK, shoppers will find the 2020 Ford Escape is a better partner for daily commuters and families.
2020 Ford escape More Power and Capability
For the new model year, the Escape weighs about 200 pounds less. This allows every horse under the hood to do more. The new build is more aerodynamic. To reduce wind resistance, engineers created a nearly flat underbelly.
Balancing the need for power with the need for economy, the Escape Ecoboost engine is competitive and capable. The former four-cylinder engine has been replaced with a remarkable turbo-three. It generates 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. That’s more than the regular four on previous models.
This engine, which is standard on the S, SE, and SEL, can tow up to 2,000 pounds. Furthermore, the turbo-three can reduce highway fuel waste by closing a cylinder until more power is needed.
Escape SE Sport and Titanium editions offer a smart hybrid. In electric mode, it has a top speed of 85 mph. Titanium drivers can be treated to a gas-powered turbo four that functions like a V6. This engine kicks out 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. The tow rating is a generous 3,500 pounds.
Helping it do more when weather is rough, Ford has increased the driving modes. Now you can turn a dial to tell the Escape that the road is slippery, snowy or sandy. There are also normal, eco and sport choices.
2020 Ford escape More Cargo Space
Most SUVs require you to sacrifice passenger space to achieve decent cargo space. So Ford engineers decided that the Escape should be different. A long slide track allows you to keep your passengers while claiming nearly four more cubes of cargo space. It’s best in class with 37.5 cubic feet. When extra cargo space isn’t needed, passengers can enjoy best-in-class legroom.
Today’s Technology
Standard on most models, the Sync 3 touch screen has expanded its capability too. Apple CarPlay lets you access Apple Maps. Android Auto does the same for Google Maps. Natural voice recognition and hands-free assistance are also empowered by this additional connectivity.
Even more important than what’s on the dash, Ford has standardized aspects of CoPilot 360. Drivers will benefit from a forward collision warning that can trigger an autobrake. A lane watch may trigger an active lane assist. Adaptive cruise control reduces the stress of a busy daily commute. Ford’s BLIS system watches the SUV’s blind spots. A rear cross traffic alert is an active partner for the rearview camera.
Exclusive in its class, the Escape is the only small affordable SUV offering Active Park Assist 2.0. Also exclusive, Evasive Steering Assist is Ford’s newest semi-automated system.
