The Ford Escape SUV

The Ford Escape is one of our favorite models here at Bloomer Ford. First introduced back in 2000, the Ford Escape quickly became a common sight on the road. Ford's compact crossover provides safety, capability, and convenience, and this proved to be a welcome option for drivers everywhere.

Under the hood of the Ford Escape is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which gives it 168 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. Drivers looking for a little something extra will appreciate the available turbocharged 1.5-liter engine that gives 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. If that's still not enough, there is also an available turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that gives out 245 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. No matter which engine you choose, the Ford Escape will always get you where you need to go.

The 2017 and 2018 Ford Escape received a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This is in no small part due to the available safety features, which include lane departure warning and intervention, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and more. Of course, while the safety features are helpful, the vehicle itself is safe as well; its five-star frontal crash and side crash ratings can testify to that.

The Ford Escape features a standard rearview camera, 4.2-inch central display screen, and Ford's infotainment system, Ford Sync. Ford Sync includes Bluetooth connectivity and AppLink smartphone integration. Ford's upgraded infotainment system, Ford Sync 3, adds a multitude of features, such as voice recognition and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Available tech features include an 8-inch touchscreen, a an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a 10-speaker Sony audio system.
