The Ford Escape is back with brand-new features for 2020. A host of changes should help Ford capture a greater share of the compact crossover market. These are just some of the improvements you’ll see in the 2020 Ford Escape.
It Has Green Hybrid Options
Modern motorists are increasingly eco-conscious, so Ford has reintroduced hybrid Escapes for the first time since 2012. In addition to the standard hybrid of old, Ford now offers a plug-in hybrid Escape. Both have a 2.5-liter iVCT Atkinson-cycle hybrid motor, but the plug-in has a 14.4-kWh lithium-ion battery. A single charge can take you 30 miles. The hybrid cars are more fuel-efficient and emit fewer pollutants than traditional gas-powered vehicles, making them better for the planet.
It’s More Fun to Drive
A complete redesign has upped the fun factor for motorists. The new Escape is longer and wider than past models for greater driver and passenger comfort. The larger dimensions don’t weigh the 2020 Escape down, though. Ford’s high-strength steel construction reduces weight by around 200 pounds, so this car feels more agile on the road than you might expect.
It’s More Tech-Savvy
The 2020 Escape is Ford’s most technologically advanced model across all trims. A driver-assistance safety system and selectable driving modes come standard. Optional extras, such as a heads-up display, Sync 3 Infotainment, and a digital gauge cluster, should tempt tech fans.
A brand-new year signals a new era for the Ford Escape. This compact crossover is more stylish, practical, and fun than previous iterations. All these improvements encourage motorists to upgrade to or choose their first Ford Escape in 2020.
