Ford’s 2021 lineup ensures there’s a top-notch vehicle for every driver and style. For college students who are on the hunt for a compact SUV that can handle busy schedules with ease, the 2021 Ford Escape is an excellent option. Here’s why students are going to love what the 2021 Escape has to offer:
Plenty of Power
The 2021 Ford Escape offers an impressive level of power for drivers looking for a boost in excitement and confidence during their drives. The new Escape’s starting engine is a 181-horsepower turbocharged three-cylinder. Drivers who want more from their SUV can upgrade to a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that offers 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Eco-friendly and budget-conscious drivers might choose the new 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain that delivers 200 horsepower and takes the Escape’s fuel economy to the next level.
Great Space
Inside the 2021 Escape, you’ll find two rows of seating for up to five passengers. The 60/40-split rear row opens up the rear cargo area to allow you to fit even more gear in your Escape’s cabin.
The higher you move up the Ford Escape’s trim levels — the S, SE, SEL, and Titanium — the more loaded its interior becomes. Quality cloth upholstery is standard, but the SEL upgrades it to comfortable imitation leather. Choose a model equipped with the Cold Weather package to stay cozy throughout the year’s weather thanks to features such as a remote engine started, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and more.
Smart Safety
College life can be hectic, putting you on the road several times throughout the day. To keep you safer on busy streets, the 2021 Escape offers the driver-assist technologies in the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite as standard features on every model. These smart safety measures make better drivers out of everyone, even the most confident ones.
Each Escape boasts a blind-spot monitor that lets you know when someone is lurking in your blind spot. The lane-departure mitigation system helps you stay in your lane and fight potentially dangerous distractions. If you’re coming up on another vehicle too quickly, the forward collision mitigation system warns you about the vehicle and will even apply the Escape’s brakes if you don’t react in time.
Constant Connection
In addition to all these great features, the Escape also offers plenty of connective technologies that keep you entertained and in touch when you’re in transit. Perhaps the most impressive of these is the Escape’s touch screen, which offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. This screen lets you create a hands-free system for your phone that still gives you access to many apps, such as text messaging and music-streaming services. You can also make your Escape even smarter by adding features such as the premium 10-speaker sound system, a digital driver’s information panel, and a wireless phone charging pad.
When the 2021 Escape rolls into dealerships, you can schedule your test drive at Legacy Ford of Texas in Rosenberg, Texas. Students looking for the perfect adventuring SUV will find an excellent new home away from home in the exciting new Escape.
