Power Your Adventures

If you're ready to escape, then you need the right powertrain to take you there. The 2021 Ford Escape has something to offer every getaway with three selections under the hood: 

As you can see, each motor has something special to offer you. For example, the available hybrid engine will help you venture far and wide, extending your travels by miles.

Meanwhile, if your idea of a relaxing escape is chilling out on the water with your recreational boat, the 3,500-pound towing capacity of the 2.0-liter motor will appeal to you. 

A Safe Exploration

Your journey will be more enjoyable when you know you're fully protected at every mile. That's why the 2021 Escape comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™, which includes the following systems:

• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Lane-Keeping System
• Auto High-Beam Headlamps

These features are designed to keep you alert on the open road, so you can make the necessary corrections to stay out of harm's way. In certain situations, the brakes can even be applied to help avoid a frontal collision altogether.

Of course, you can never be too safe, so you can opt for the available Ford Co-Pilot360™ Assist+ suite as well. With this suite of safety systems, you'll be treated to advanced protections, like Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go.

Top-of-the-Line Technology

Your getaway will not only be safe but simplified, too, thanks to the advanced tech features found in this SUV. When you arm your 2021 Ford Escape with the available head-up display, you'll have your current driving speed and navigational instructions projected onto your windshield in your line of sight. By keeping your eyes on the unpredictable road ahead, you can focus on the thrills of the road and indulge more in your retreat.

Want to make parking easier as well? Then add the available Active Park Assist 2.0 system. This feature intelligently steers your SUV into parking spaces for you, helping make even complex parallel parking maneuvers a breeze.
