If you feel like your family is quickly outgrowing your current vehicle, the 2021 Ford Escape may be right for you. This powerful mid-size SUV is comfortable and safe. Keep reading to discover three big reasons to take it for a test drive.
1. Power
One of the biggest reasons to test drive the 2021 Escape is its power. If you opt for the 1.5L EcoBoost Motor, you can get up to 181 hp at 6,000 revolutions per minute and 190 pound-feet of torque at 3,000 revolutions per minute. If you opt for the 2.0L EcoBoost motor, you can get up to 250 hp at 5,500 revolutions per minute and 280 pound-feet of torque at 3,000 revolutions per minute.
Also, the 2.5L FHEV and 2.5L PHEV motors provide a total system horsepower of 200. All of this power makes the vehicle incredibly fun to drive, and the torque allows for up to 3,500 pounds of towing capacity depending on the motor chosen. However, you should be aware that you can benefit from at least 1,500 pounds of towing capability regardless of the motor you choose.
2. Standard Safety Features
Another big reason to test drive the 2021 Escape is the wide array of safety features that come standard with this mid-size SUV. Despite its impressive size, front and side visibility are outstanding. Even better, there is a porthole window for added rear visibility since the rear three-quarter visibility is slight affected by the C-pillars. Also, for even more visibility, there is a high definition backup camera that increases the rear visibility even further.
In addition to impressive visibility, there are many other safety features this vehicle has going for it. For instance, the 2021 Escape features an accurate, responsive steering system that allows for reliable handling regardless of road conditions. Also, you get Ford Co-Pilot360 technology that helps you drive safer with such standard features as:
- Pre-Collision Assist with AEB
- BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
- Lane-Keeping Assist
- Lane-Keeping Alert
- Driver Alert
3. Comfort
The luxurious comfort of this powerful, safe mid-size SUV is another reason to take it for a test drive. If you think your family is quickly outgrowing your current vehicle, this may be the perfect vehicle for you because there is more than enough headroom for your fully grown teen sons.
Also, there is an impressive amount of shoulder and hip room so everyone in the back row will feel like they have plenty of personal space. Even better, the interior horizontal length between the rows of seats means three tall teens will have plenty of room to stretch out and ride in comfort.
There are many reasons to test drive the 2021 Escape, including power, safety, and comfort. To see for yourself how spacious, comfortable, and powerful this mid-size SUV is, come see us today at Mission Valley Ford on East Brokaw Rd to take one for a test drive.
