Why You Should Purchase a Ford Escape for Your Next SUV

Purchasing a new Ford Escape from Tri-Star Ford Blairsville will result in a crossover SUV that offers enhanced performance, storage, and towing capabilities. You will also be able to choose from a variety of trim levels to customize the vehicle and make it stand out in Blairsville, PA.

Performance

When examining performance features, the Ford Escape has an advantage due to the base engine that provides 181 horsepower and up to 250 horsepower in optional powertrains. Transmission performance is noticeable to Ligonier, PA drivers, who enjoy the eight-speed automatic performance of the Ford Escape. Customers can also choose the all-wheel-drive feature with AWD Disconnect. This particular feature allows the vehicle to disconnect the AWD when you do not need it and benefits you by saving energy.

Interior

Storage is a considerable benefit of the Ford Escape. Up to five adults can ride comfortably in the vehicle, and your passengers will rarely complain about head or legroom. The rear seats fold, creating a maximum of over 60 cubic feet of storage space. This amount of room makes the Ford Escape stand out among other compact SUVs in the area.

Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology

Introducing Ford Co-Pilot360™ - an advanced suite of standard driver-assist technologies that includes BLIS® with Cross Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, Lane-Keeping System and Rear View Camera. Ford Escape also makes additional technology available that is designed to help keep you in command, from the driveway to the highway.

Selectable Drive Modes

Designed to help improve your driving experience and handling on varying road surfaces. The five different modes are Normal, Eco, Slippery, Sport and Deep Snow/Sand. Once selected, each one of these driving modes can modify the electronic stability control system and traction control system without you having to do anything.

Head-Up Display

Keep your eyes on the road. The available head-up display creates an image on a display screen in front of the driver as they look through the windshield.* This minimizes the distraction of having to look down at the car's instrument panel. The head-up display keeps you informed with various driver-assist features that include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane-Keeping System, Navigation, incoming calls and more.

Towing

With the standard engine, the Ford Escape can tow up to 2,000 pounds. The Ford Escape has you covered if you are planning a weekend trip and need to haul small boats or trailers.

Trims

The Ford Escape has five basic trims-S, SE, ES Sport, SEL, and Titanium-allowing you to pick the engine you want, as well as the following features:

• Cloth, leather, or Active X seat trim
• Manual, automatic, or dual-zone automatic temperature control
• 2 LCD touchscreen or 8-inch touchscreen
• 2-inch or 12.3-inch instrument or digital cluster display

You can also choose between two hybrid trim levels: the SE hybrid and the Titanium hybrid. These offer the same choices as the traditional SE and Titanium, but with the added benefit of being a gas/electric hybrid.
