5 Reasons to Look at the Ford Escape

If you’re looking for a new car, you want to make sure you’re getting it for the right reason. How about we give you 5? The Ford Escape is a tremendous SUV with a lot of great features and functionality that you want in a modern SUV, whether you’re in Western Michigan or Northern Shores.

Of every SUV on the market, this one should be at the top of your list. Today, we’re going to give you 5 reasons why this vehicle should be your next purchase.

You Have Plenty of Engine Options

When it comes to the kind of engine this vehicle boasts, you have your choice of 4 different options. Those options are:

1.5L Ecoboost Engine
2.0L Ecoboost Engine
2.5L I-4 Hybrid Engine
Plug-In Hybrid 2.5L I-4 Engine

Each of these engines brings its own perks to the table such as horsepower and gas mileage, but the thing we love the most is that you really can’t go wrong with any of these. The 1.5L Ecoboost engine is lightweight and has components built into it to help reduce fuel consumption so you can drive longer without having to refuel. But then you get the Plug-In Hybrid 2.5L I-4 Engine that has a jaw-dropping 101 combined MPG and the ability to charge your vehicle at home simply by plugging it into a normal socket in your home. No need to buy a special charger or adapter. That’s more than enough to get you from Muskegan to Coopersville.

The Tech Is Amazing

In this day and age, connectivity is everything. That’s why this vehicle comes equipped with tech that keeps you connected to the world around you as you drive. SYNC 4 keeps you connected by allowing you to use smartphone features to utilize navigation and hands-free talking.

Not only that, but it’s compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This means that you’ll be able to connect to your favorite apps on your phone while you’re driving from Holland to Ludington.

Plus there’s Alexa Built-In, meaning that you can utilize your favorite Amazon features on the go at all times. Last but not least, there is wireless charging and a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot that lets you stay connected to the world around you on all of your favorite devices.

It Can Handle Any Terrain You Throw at It

As an SUV, one thing you want out of your vehicle is that you want it to be able to go off-road whenever you want and have it be able to tackle everything you throw at it.

Not only is there All-Wheel Drive available for this SUV but there are also selectable drive modes. The four distinct drive modes make it easy to adapt to whatever road surface you may be driving on.

Normal mode is great for standard driving conditions. Slippery comes in handy on those rainy days when some extra traction might be needed. Sport mode keeps things fast and punchy with better response and faster shifting for those joyrides. Eco mode allows for a smooth drive while improving performance for better fuel efficiency.

So. Much. Space.

No SUV is worth its name without having plenty of space onboard. Sliding second-row seats and 40” of passenger legroom in front means that you’re getting a comfortable, spacious ride already.

But what about moving cargo? How about up to 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space? With room like that, you can load up your SUV with just about anything you can imagine and probably still have plenty of space left over. That’s the kind of space we’re talking about.

An Impressive Amount of Pure Power

While an SUV is great for storage space, there’s certainly no denying that this vehicle has towing power behind it, too. Depending on which model you go with, you’ll be able to tow anywhere between 1,500 pounds to 3,500 pounds when utilizing the Class II Trailer Tow package.

This means you can bring along just about anything on that next trip you’re planning, including your boat to take out the Great Lakes the next time you go camping.
