5 Best Upgrades in the Redesigned 2020 Ford Escape

With the sleek style, predicted reliability, and updated technology, the redesigned 2020 Ford Escape offers smart features and configurations that various customers will love.

1. Better Engine Options

Ford Escape now has four powertrains to choose from. The first engine is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost with Auto Start-Stop and can tow up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. There is an option to upgrade to a more robust driving experience, a 2.0L EcoBoost with 250 horsepower and 274 lb-ft torque.

The two engines provide lots of power needed to drive a family daily and deliver quick acceleration. The 2.5-liter hybrid four-cylinder powertrain is another Escape engine option that combines with an electronic variable transmission for a smooth-riding adventure.

2. Interior Quality and Comfort

One of the best Escape’s redesign features is the improved interior space. The sliding rear seats have plenty of legroom and enough room to install a child safety seat. The cargo area has an extra 4 inches of space and can fit six bags of golf clubs.

The new Escape has an easy-to-use infotainment system that is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. With this system, the driver can text messages, respond to calls, locate new spots, and play favorite music while driving.

3. Improved Safety and Advanced Driver Assist Systems

The Ford CoPilot360, the driver assistance technology that makes driving easy, safe, and convenient, is a massive plus for the Ford Escape model. These advanced safety systems include:

• Automatic high beams
• Pre- and post-collision warning
• Automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection
• Blind-spot warning
• Lane-keeping system
• Cross-traffic alert
• Hill-start assist

The 2020 Escape offers two new upgrades; the Active Park Assist 2.0 which allows the driver to park in a parallel or perpendicular spot. Also, the Evasive Steering Assist helps avoid possible crashes by providing steering support when a slower-moving or stationary vehicle is detected.

4. Better Fuel Economy

The 2020 Escape is one of the most fuel-efficient models. The three-cylinder engine has earned solid fuel-economy ratings from the EPA.

The front-wheel-drive 1.5-liter engine model earns 27 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway while the same engine, paired with an all-wheel-drive system, gets a lower rating of 26 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the road. The 2020 Ford front-wheel-drive Escape hybrid has an EPA rating of 44 mpg in the city, 37 mpg on the highway plus 41 mpg combined.

5. Sleek and Stylish Exterior

The 2020 Escape has a sleek and classy trapezoid-shaped exterior that will catch your immediate attention. The Escape also comes standard with 17-inch silver-painted steel wheels, and the side mirrors’ accents help distinguish the Ford Escape.

Available in S, SE, SE Sport, SEL, and Titanium trims, the redesigned Ford Escape is a must-have vehicle with all the features and conveniences designed to make any form of your journey comfortable and enjoyable. Visit Palm Coast Ford today and check out our Ford Escape selection available.
