Ford Escape vs the Competition

Advanced Safety & Driver-Assistive Systems: A Reassuring Ride

The 2021 Ford Escape boasts a great deal of supportive features in the safety department. Some of these include:

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert

• Auto High-Beam Headlamps
• Lane-Keeping System

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking comes standard in the Ford Escape. It can help protect you and your loved ones by applying the brakes to avoid or mitigate an impact.

BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert acts like an extra pair of eyes on the road and can alert you if a fellow driver is in your blind spot or approaching from the side while you’re in reverse.

Along with having another set of eyes, the Auto High-Beam Headlamps instantly kick in to increase visibility when lack of daylight makes it harder to see.

Active Driver-Assistance

We all experience momentary lapses in concentration. The standard Lane-Keeping System can use steering-wheel torque to make necessary adjustments if you’ve unintentionally veered into a neighboring lane.

Another available driver-assistive feature on the 2021 Ford Escape is Intelligent Cruise Control. By maintaining a pre-set following distance to the vehicle ahead of you, this intelligent system lets you relax a bit more on your daily commute or cross-country road trip.

Similarly, the optional Speed Sign Recognition keeps you informed of posted signs you might miss while admiring your scenic surroundings in the Ford Escape.

Security Meets Convenience

When it comes to security, the 2021 Ford Escape has you covered. The Ford Escape SEL trim level and above feature the SecuriCode™ keyless entry keypad on the driver’s side door. It lets you use a personal numeric code to access your SUV whenever you need, with or without your keys.

Capability: Tow Fun with the 2021 Ford Escape

This sporty SUV also sets you up for successful family vacations and weekend excursions. When properly equipped, you can expect to tow up to 3,500 pounds. That’s enough to bring recreational gear like a pair of jet skis, a lightweight travel trailer, and a couple of snowmobiles.

With these oversized toys in tow, you’ll be ready to truly escape in the 2021 Ford Escape.

For a streamlined packing and unpacking process every time you plan a getaway or return from the store, use the available hands-free foot-activated liftgate. Simply swish your foot under the rear bumper and move around your luggage, shopping bags, and more.

Interior: Comfort Throughout the Cabin

To help you imagine what it feels like inside the sleek cabin of the Ford Escape, here are a few of its interior dimensions:

• Front Headroom: 40 inches
• Back Headroom: 39.3 inches
• Front Legroom: 42.4 inches
• Back Legroom: 40.7 inches

These numbers mean you and your passengers will have the space you need to stretch out and be comfortable. Up front, the driver can also use the optional 10-way power seat to settle in before zipping away to your next destination.

Seating Appointments & Creature Comforts

The 2021 Ford Escape offers available easy-to-clean, fashion-forward ActiveX^TM seating material with Miko® Suede inserts. Other premium upgrade options include leather trimmed seats with mini-perforation for maximum comfort and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
