“I personally love the Escape’s new design and think it’s the perfect vehicle for young couples and families. It’s comfortable and spacious enough for longer road trips, but also offers a compact profile, and plenty of safety and tech features for daily driving,” says Lucy Gotell of Fair Isle Ford. “You really need to get behind the wheel for a demo to experience everything it has to offer.” You need only look at the fourth- generation Ford Escape to realize that it’s been overhauled inside and out. Here are three reasons why your next vehicle should be the 2020 Ford Escape.

The hotspot lets you connect up to ten devices at once, so everyone’s connected on those fun road trips. Lastly, have you heard of Head-Up Display? If not, you’ll definitely be intrigued.

The Display shows several features, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Keeping System and navigation, ensuring that your drive is as safe as possible.

Advanced Technology
Driving just became a lot more connected. Ford Co-Pilot360 is an impressive suite of driver-assist safety technologies available with the new 2020 Escape. Features include Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, Lane- Keeping System, and Rear View Camera. Want to leave your phone safely in your bag while driving? Ford SYNC 3 lets you use an easy touchscreen to do things like search for and play music, find your destination and control the vehicle’s climate. Many features are also voice- activated, which makes it even easier to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. FordPass Connect with Wi-Fi Hotspot includes a smartphone app that allows drivers to find parking and fuel stations while on the road, contact their dealership and Roadside Assistance, and lock and unlock their vehicle remotely.
Plenty of Interior & Cargo Space
Heading away to visit the family out of province? Need to help a friend move? No problem. The Ford Escape boasts a roomy interior by compact SUV standards and includes sliding rear seats and vast legroom. Let’s not forget the two-level cargo deck, which can be set low to maximize space for those huge hauls, or high to align with the folded seatbacks.
