5 reasons to buy the 2019 Ford Escape
1. Impressive tech features
Whether you crave connectivity for business road trips or have young passengers that can't go anywhere without Bluetooth® connectivity, the 2019 Ford Escape is ready to please. Base models offer Smart Key, a USB port, a 4.2-inch display screen, Bluetooth, a rearview camera, and power locks/windows/mirrors as standard. Inside the cabin of the second-tier SE trim, you'll find options to connect to a satellite radio subscription alongside Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. Who says an SUV can't have all the same tech toys as a luxury sedan?
2. Notable fuel economy
If you're always on the go to kids' sports practices, weekend getaways with a special someone, or simply enjoy Sunday drives, you'll be pleased to know the 2019 Ford Escape won't drain the wallet at the gas pump. There are seven engine configurations for this SUV with an EPA-estimated 23 to 26 mpg combined city/highway fuel economy depending on which you choose.
3. Space to grow your family
Shopping for an SUV is not only excellent for the weekend camper who needs to travel with a tent and outdoor gear, but also for the couple who is planning to add a four-legged friend or a baby to the mix. The 2019 Ford Escape seats five, comes with two LATCH car-seat connectors, and offers 34 cu-ft of rear cargo space. If you fold down the two rear seats, you can fill up to 68 cu-ft with everything from dog kennels and picnic baskets to kids' sports bags and holiday shopping finds.
4. Ready for new drivers
Got a teen in the household? If you're looking for a vehicle that can make the learning process a breeze, the 2019 Ford Escape is one to consider. This model year comes with loads of standard assist features including blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic alerts, rear parking sensors, lane keep assist, and so much more to help new drivers feel confident behind the wheel (and ease parental worry!).
5. Able to tow for work or fun
Although the 2019 Ford Escape is considered a compact SUV, don't let the smaller chassis size fool you. The Titanium trim 2L four- or two-wheel drive options are ready to tow up to an estimated 3,500 lbs when properly equipped with the Class II Trailer towing package.
