Stylish, comfortable, and with sporty performance, the 2024 Ford Escape is a unique SUV now here at your nearby Ford dealership. If you haven’t yet experienced this popular crossover from behind the wheel, here are five things that make it a reliable choice for long-distance journeys and city-exploring adventures.
5 Reasons to Choose the 2024 Ford Escape for Urban Adventures
1. Three Fuel-Savvy Engines
Three engines are offered for this edition, and the smallest one, a turbocharged 1.5-liter, provides reliable performance and excellent fuel efficiency with its 180 horsepower and estimated 30 MPG in combined city/highway mileage. The intermediate and strongest engine is a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter that gets up to 26 MPG in combined mileage. This engine also provides a 3,500-pound tow rating, while the third engine is a 2.5-liter hybrid engine that generates 210 horses while getting up to 42 MPG in cities.
2. An Automatic AWD System
While all models come standard with front-wheel drive, there’s an available Intelligent AWD system that makes it easy to tackle slippery city streets in the rain or snow-filled roads without any input on your part. Instead of having to worry about activating this system, it does so on its own when it detects terrain changes that require more traction. It also comes with AWD Disconnect technology, allowing you to disengage the system at any time to conserve fuel.
3. Infotainment for Everyone
SYNC 4 is a standard infotainment system that can enhance drives for everyone with its multiple entertainment and convenience functions. Along with wireless smartphone connectivity, this system provides access to apps, hands-free calling, available navigation assistance, and optional SiriusXM radio access. While lower trim levels come with an 8-inch touchscreen display, an expansive 13.2-inch touchscreen is available and comes standard with many upper trims. You can also use voice-activation to control many of this system’s functions if you prefer.
4. A Full-Color Head-Up Display
When driving in traffic, the last thing you need are distractions, which is why so many drivers are talking about this vehicle’s available head-up display. Instead of taking your eyes off the road to glance down at your instrument cluster, you can see your most important information on the vehicle’s windshield and in full color. You can also adjust the display’s height at any time to your preferences.
5. 360-Degree Camera Visuals
When squeezing into tight parking spaces, reversing, or hitching up to trailers, the optional 360-degree camera system is sure to be appreciated. While providing multiple angles from around the vehicle, this system puts split-screen visuals on the infotainment system’s screen inside the cabin. When you’re backing out of parking spaces, it also puts colored gridlines on screen to help you with steering.
