Experience the Roomy, Energetic 2019 Ford Escape at Imperial Cars

In the market for a compact SUV? The 2019 Ford Escape stands out from the competition due to its dynamic engine and lithe handling. It looks good, too, with its vibrant lines, sculpted sides, tall roofline, and hatchback-like profile. A six-sided grille framed by narrow, angled headlights completes its sporty appearance. The Escape delivers the most athletic performance in its class, and people in the Mendon and Milford, MA areas can choose from a wide range of Escape trims at Imperial Cars.

Performance

You'll enjoy brisk acceleration in the 2019 Ford Escape, which has three available engines. It comes standard with a 168-horsepower four-cylinder engine that has ample zip for city driving. For more power, a 245-horsepower turbocharged motor is available that allows the Escape to tow up to 3,500 pounds. Drivers in the Framingham and Worcester areas who want to save at the fuel pump will likely prefer the available 179-horsepower turbocharged engine, which gets a thrifty 23 mpg in the city and 90 mpg on the highway. The new Escape has agile handling and easy steering that make it fun to drive on twisty roads. Its taut suspension, good steering feedback, and torque vectoring control keep it smooth and composed on the highway. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available in all but the base trim for better grip on treacherous roads.

Interior/Tech

The 2019 Ford Escape's interior is a cozy, quiet "sanctuary" on the road, with thick cabin insulation and plenty of premium materials throughout. People in the Providence, RI and Mendon, MA areas who like to take a lot of stuff on the road with them will appreciate that the new Escape has one of the largest cargo capacities in its class, with 68 cubic feet of total cargo space with the rear seats folded. You and your passengers will have ample room to stretch out in the Escape's expansive cabin. Cloth upholstery comes standard, but leather trimmed seats are available. Other options include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and sport seats. Standard tech features in the new Escape include Ford's voice-activated SYNC infotainment system with a 4.2-inch display screen, a USB port, and a six-speaker stereo. Available technology includes push-button start, remote start, dual-zone automatic climate control, navigation, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. An optional hands-free, foot-activated liftgate makes loading the Escape easy, even when your hands are full. An available panoramic sunroof lightens the interior and provides breath-taking views of the outdoor scenery. With FordPass Connect, you can remotely access vehicle features through your smartphone, including start, lock and unlock, and vehicle status.

Safety

Drivers in the Milford and Framingham areas can feel confident about their safety in the 2019 Ford Escape, which earned a five-out-of-five-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It comes with a multi-airbag personal safety system, a rearview camera, a tire pressure monitoring system, and AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, which slows the Escape down when it senses its going too fast for a curve. MyKey also comes standard, and this feature enables you to set speed and audio limits for younger drivers. Available safety tech on the new Escape includes assisted pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, active park assist, and a blind spot monitoring system that uses radar to identify a vehicle detected in your blind spot and alerts you with an indicator light in the appropriate exterior mirror. The 2019 Ford Escape has peppy engines, tight handling, and abundant cargo space. Stop by Imperial Cars and test drive it today.
