Ford has long sat at the helm of American crossover and SUV makers, and with the impending release of the all-new 2020 Ford Escape, that trend doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. This CUV looks to hit the ground running as one of the sleekest, smoothest entries on the market later this year.
Read our overview to learn more about what you can expect from the new Ford Escape.
Highlights of the 2020 Ford Escape
Design
In years past, the Escape has been defined by its muscular build and aggressive contouring. With the redesign, Ford is introducing a healthy dose of finesse into the fold. The 2020 model will be highlighted by an intricate trapezoidal grille, seamless curves, and a low roofline that’s more reminiscent of a sportster.
But the new Escape won’t lose its practicality in the process. This crossover promises to be even roomier and passenger-friendly than its predecessors.
Performance
The 2020 Ford Escape promises the choice of two gas engines: a 1.5L EcoBoost® and 2.0L EcoBoost® with Auto Start-Stop Technology. Each is engineered with the goal of optimal efficiency and power. And when available All-Wheel Drive is thrown into the mix, the threats of lag and gas-guzzling commutes will be left in the dust.
The 2020 Escape will also come with the choice of hybrid and plug-in hybrid models.
Safety
There’s a wealth of safety options in the 2020 Ford Escape, including a few unique features you won’t see in too many other SUVs. You’ll still receive what has become the standard across Ford Co-Pilot360™ equipped vehicles: Cross-Traffic Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
But there are new additions, too.
One of these is Pre-Collision Assist, which scans the road ahead and alerts you of potential collisions, with cars or pedestrians. Emergency brakes engage if impact is imminent and your reaction isn’t quick enough. Evasive Steering Assist is there when you do react, giving you extra control and stability so you can maneuver around obstacles in full control.
There is also a heads up display that projects certain details onto the windshield so you can keep your eyes on the road at all times.
