You’re about to start seeing the new 2021 Ford Escape around Miami and Dade County. The vehicle didn’t receive a bigger overhaul for the next model year, but some minor changes were made to the standard and optional equipment. The biggest news is that the 2021 Ford Escape plug-in hybrid model is debuting. It has an EPA-estimated 37 miles of electric range, which is excellent for commuting and errands.
Whether you choose the hybrid or the traditional combustion engine, this vehicle is extremely versatile. The interior is roomy and the seating is comfortable for all passengers. The ride quality is smooth and the handling is pleasantly responsive, especially for an SUV. The controls are intuitive and easy to use, too, plus you can expect a good deal of features at any of the following trim levels:
- 2021 Ford Escape SE
- 2021 Ford Escape S
- 2021 Ford Escape Titanium
- 2021 Ford Escape SE Sport
- 2021 Ford Escape SEL
2021 Ford Escape Interior
If you’re looking for the compact SUV with the best second-row legroom, the 2021 Escape should be on your shortlist. The spacious interior won awards from J.D. Power and Associates in 2020, and it’s only getting better for 2021. Features like the following give this vehicle one of the most luxurious interiors you’re ever likely to find at such a reasonable price:
- Digital Instrument Cluster – The available digital instrument cluster gives you way more control over the information you’ll see while driving. This particular feature isn’t especially rare among modern cars, but Ford’s design is so attractive and intuitive that it’s not quite like the other options out there.
- Second Row Sliding Seats With 60/40 Split Fold-Down – It’s easy to configure the inside of this vehicle to match your needs on any given day. If you need space for a full load of people, keep the seats up. Whenever you need a little bit of extra room for your large objects or other cargo, though, you can fold the rear seat down in seconds. Thanks to the 60/40 split, you can still fit four people and a long object into the vehicle.
- B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen With 10 Speakers – Bang & Olufsen is one of the best speaker companies in the world, so this sound system is sure to satisfy even the most discerning audiophiles.
- Panoramic Vista Roof – This available option turns almost the entire roof of the vehicle into a transparent sheet so your passengers can enjoy the scenery on your drives. The roof also opens so you can get some fresh air into the vehicle and cool down as you cruise through Miami on a hot summer day.
2021 Ford Escape Safety
Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 technology is designed to keep drivers in command from the driveway to the highway. No matter where you go, or even which direction you’re moving, you’ll have access to a wide variety of active safety features and driver assistance features that inspire confidence in a stressful world. The advanced suite of driver assistance technology includes many standard features as well as some optional ones:
- Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking – Your vehicle will alert you when it detects a potential collision. If you don’t respond quickly enough and the collision becomes imminent, your vehicle will activate the brakes when it becomes necessary.
- Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) With Cross-Traffic Alert – Many accidents happen because the driver can’t see a stationary or moving obstacle. This technology is designed to solve that problem by giving you feedback about what may be hiding in your blind spots.
- Available Active Park Assist 2.0 – This vehicle handles well enough that it isn’t especially difficult to park. Still, you’ll appreciate this optional feature when you’re trying to squeeze into the last parallel parking spot on a crowded street in downtown Miami. The system will locate potential spots, then back itself into one once you initiate this feature.
- Adaptive Cruise Control With Stop-and-Go – It’s frustrating when you have to keep turning your cruise control on and off because of traffic on road trips. Now you won’t have to. When traffic slows down (or even stops entirely), so will you. When traffic clears up, you’ll get back to the speed you set.
- Selectable Drive Modes – Tailor the driving experience to your current situation. The available modes are Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/ Sand. Each of the modes modifies the electronic stability control system and traction control system to rise to the occasion.
- Evasive Steering Assist – This feature won’t steer for you, but it can provide extra support when you try to make a quick maneuver around an obstacle before you whenever a collision is detected.
- Rear View Camera – Simply put, this helps you see what’s behind you so you can proceed with confidence, even when you’re backing up.
- Lane-Keeping System – The vehicle will correct itself if you start to drift out of your lane.
- Available Head-up Display – Keep your eyes on the road when your speed and other critical information is projected directly into your line of sight.
Ford Escape SUV Technology
There’s plenty of advanced safety technology in this vehicle, but some of the tech is focused on convenience and style as well. It all runs through the available Ford Sync 3 infotainment system, which is among the industry’s best. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow you to connect seamlessly with your phone as you pull up directions, search for music, and place phone calls. Control the system with your voice to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
Your vehicle can also integrate with WAZE technology and Amazon Alexa. Connect further with Amazon to experience the convenience of in-car package delivery. The Amazon delivery driver will put your packages in your vehicle then double-check to confirm that the vehicle is closed and locked.
