The 2021 Ford Escape comes with an array of features that are bound to impress. This is a vehicle to consider if you like lots of highly convenient technology, and it’s also perfect if you’re a fan of hybrid vehicles.
5 Truly Impressive Features of the 2021 Ford Escape
1. Its Unique Hybrid Availability
All trims apart from the base S trim of the Ford Escape come with a hybrid option, and this isn’t something you’ll see with many vehicles. However, it gets even better than that. You don’t just get one hybrid option with the Ford Escape; there are two hybrid powertrains available with each applicable trim. The plug-in and straight hybrid options that the Ford Escape offers are both desirable and worthy of the highest praise.
2. Its Smartphone App
The Ford Escape connects to the FordPass Connect smartphone app. App integration isn’t common in the Escape’s competitors, but Ford has always been ahead of the times when it comes to useful technology.
The FordPass Connect app lets you control certain functions of your vehicle remotely, including locking and unlocking your doors. You can also view key information about your vehicle on the app, and this will help you ensure that your vehicle is in the best condition possible. Lastly, you can schedule services right from the FordPass Connect app, so it’s easy to stay on top of your maintenance.
3. Its Head-Up Display
Taking your eyes off the road feels like a risky venture, but unfortunately, you need to keep an eye on the instrument cluster on your dash. Thankfully, the Ford Escape lets you view this on your windshield, too.
The head-up display projects your key information onto the windshield. It doesn’t obscure your view of the road in the slightest, so you can keep your eyes on the road and check how your vehicle is doing at the same time.
4. Its Fuel-Saving Abilities
Two features of the Ford Escape were designed to save fuel. The first is a button that lets you disconnect the rear driveline while you’re not using the all-wheel drive. It’s simple to disconnect and reconnect this as needed.
The second feature is an auto start/stop function that kicks in when you’re stuck in traffic or at a stop sign. It shuts the engine off to stop it from using fuel while your vehicle isn’t moving. This is sure to help you save gas.
5. Its Safety Suite
The Ford Escape comes with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features that many of its competitors don’t have. The competitors often require you to upgrade to higher trims to gain access to bigger and better safety features, but the Ford Escape has them all right there in one standard package. This is one of the safest vehicles on the market right now.
