There’s a lot that goes into crafting a family SUV. While sedans mainly need to focus on being efficient and trucks need to focus on being powerful, SUVs are family models that need to be spacious, reliable, and versatile. The new Escape can easily handle towing, and it lets you choose between four strong powertrains, including hybrid options. If you want to see the new Ford Escape in action, then we’d be happy to show you this model at Watsonville Ford.
When it comes to your engine, you’ll have four exciting options to explore. First, there’s the 1.5L EcoBoost Engine, which comes in at a respectable 180 horsepower. The 2.0L EcoBoost Engine is even stronger, as it can put out up to 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. of torque. For those who are looking for a hybrid option, the 2.5L Hybrid Engine comes in at 192 total system horsepower. There’s also the 2.5L Plug-in Hybrid Engine, which manages to offer drivers a resounding 210 total system horsepower. This powertrain also comes with a unique bonus, as you’ll have a standard 120V Outlet. You’ll also have selectable drive modes like Slippery, Eco, Sport, and Normal, so you can switch it up at a moment’s notice. If you live near Hollister, Watsonville, or Prunedale, then you can see what it’s like to drive the Escape at Watsonville Ford. Once you’ve spent some time with this model, you might have a hard time wanting to drive anything else. If you do change your mind, though, we have plenty of new and used models for you to explore. We also offer the ability to value your trade online.
When you open the door to your Ford Escape, you’ll be met with a stylish but practical interior. For example, instead of a regular gear shift, you’ll have a rotary gear shift dial that really opens up your cabin. This model also offers an available 13.2-inch Center Display that will make your life dramatically easier. It can be equipped with available Connected Navigation, and regardless of what phone you carry, you can connect thanks to Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility. This gives you a comfortable and practical cabin that you’ll enjoy every time that you get behind the wheel.
Versatility was a main focus for the Escape, which is why it can tow up to 3,500 pounds with the right engine. This gives you the flexibility that you need, as when other small SUVs fall short, the Escape will still be able to move your trailer or boat. You’ll also have convenient features onboard that you’re bound to appreciate, like Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go and Lane Centering. This system revolutionizes how you drive on the highway, as it can seamlessly keep you at the right speed while also controlling your distance. It’s just one part of what makes the Co-Pilot360 suite so impressive. This gives you multiple safety systems so that you can rest easy when you’re driving with your family. With features like the Blind Spot Safety System, you’ll have an extra layer of protection on the road.
