Dodge for Lone Star State Adventure in the New 2019 Ford EscapeOur automaker's latest compact SUV is back for 2019 in its iconic quartet of trims, and it's already setting a new benchmark for what a crossover should be. The new Ford Escape is loaded with creature comforts and high-tech features and offers the striking style and, above all, dependable performance to match. See for yourself, right here!
Escape might be a small SUV by class, but it's big on the capability you've come to expect from the "Built Ford Tough" namesake. Choose between three engines ranging from high-efficiency to higher-octane, and your journey begins.
Escape S, for instance, features a 168-horsepower, 2.5-liter iVCT inline-four, designed to balance power and economy and ready to put out 170 pound-feet of torque. As it's paired with a standard six-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission, you can look forward to going the extra mile, too, as the crossover gets up to 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined, according to EPA estimates. Graduate to Escape SE or SEL, and you gain a 179-horsepower, 1.5-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder capable of 177 pound-feet of torque, and it's great with gas thanks to Auto Start-Stop Technology. Count on up to an EPA-estimated 23 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined. Rise to Escape Titanium, and you get a proven performer that puts plenty of power behind the drive -- a 245-horsepower, 2.0-liter EcoBoost I4 ready to shell out 275 pound-feet of torque. Bring a standard four-wheel independent suspension and Torque Vectoring Control into the mix, and the ride promises to be just as limber and responsive as it is sporty, especially around corners.
2019 Escape is also one of the safer bets out there for the unbeaten path, and owing to more than just standards like its Personal Safety System&#trade;, Safety Canopy®, and SOS Post-Crash Alert System&#trade;.
Passive features like AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control&#trade;) and Curve Control rein in the ride's level feel, while active technologies like available intelligent 4WD keep it dependable across diverse terrain and through foul weather. Opt for a Ford Safe and Smart&#trade; Package, however, and you can also get a host of smart technologies for situational awareness and accident avoidance, ranging from adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with brake support to a BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping system, and more. Plus, at your destination, it's easy to settle in with minimal driver input thanks to options like enhanced active park assist, which features parallel parking capability, park out assist, and reverse perpendicular parking, not to mention forward, side, and reverse sensing systems.
Step into the driver's seat, and under the pleasant accent of an optional Panoramic Vista Roof®, a memorable drive comes together.
A 98.7-cubic-foot cabin spreads out invitingly. It's home, for one, to available power-adjustable, heated front seating as well as optional dual-zone electronic auto temp control -- the lap of luxury for just about any excursion. In the compartment behind, with rear seating collapsed, you can make use of up to a whopping 68.0 cubic feet of room for cargo, and it's accessible quickly from outside using an optional hands-free foot-activated liftgate.
Factor in a roof rack and side rails with available crossbars and the ability to tow anywhere from 2,000 pounds to 3,500 when properly equipped with a Class II hitch receiver. It's plain to see: the new Escape is geared to handle not only a boatload of luggage and camping gear but also that dirt bike, jet ski, or small tent camper you've been saving for a special occasion.
Ford Escape is also leading-edge when it comes to the entertainment and connectivity features to keep you in control and your riders occupied for the trip. Choose between 4.2-inch SYNC® and 8.0-inch SYNC 3 infotainment options, and you can find both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available for integrating your smartphone and accessing its features in-dash and two optional smart-charging USB interfaces to keep it and other electronics energized and ready to go. SYNC Connect 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot support is available for Web connection, voice-activated navigation is available to help you find your way, and a choice of six-speaker or optional 10-speaker Sony audio systems comes ready to transform your road mix into an anthem.
