This vehicle is small but mighty and packs quite a punch. From its premium safety features to its impressive fuel efficiency, the lifestyle of the ideal Ford Escape owner is one that focuses on style, convenience, and affordability.
It’s easy to see that the owners of the Ford Escape will definitely have a desire to save money. Very few vehicles get as good gas mileage as this crossover will. Saving money on costly repair bills and hospital bills is also going to be a happy side effect of Ford Escape owners thanks to the many quality safety features. With goals and features such as these, it's no wonder why the Ford Escape is taking the world by storm.

As far as SUVs go, the 2021 Ford Escape is one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs on the market, especially when you go with the hybrid model. The gasoline engine still gets pretty good gas mileage, coming in at 28 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. On their own, these kinds of fuel economy numbers are enough to make most drivers very happy, but Ford decided not to stop at happiness.
When you go with a hybrid 2021 Ford Escape, you could enjoy up to 44 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway. That’s a lot of gasoline savings! In fact, according to the EPA, the average 2021 Ford Escape owner could save between up to $2,250 over a five-year period on gasoline by going with this vehicle.
When you consider the fact that the MSRP for the 2021 Ford Escape comes in right around $24,885, you know you’ve got a good deal on your hands. It’s not very often you get a vehicle that is affordable right away without being a financial drain over the long term. Ford’s crossover really is a fantastic option for anybody who is budget-conscious and wants a vehicle that is easy on the wallet.
On the subject of affordability, the 2021 Escape also comes with plenty of warranties that are sure to stretch your dollar even further. For example, you could enjoy up to 3 years or 36,000 miles worth of coverage with Ford’s limited bumper-to-bumper warranty. This will protect against any major maintenance issues in that first period of ownership. Of course, the powertrain warranty protects your vehicle’s powertrain for up to 5 years or 60,000 miles.
Hybrid owners will enjoy a unique warranty from Ford with coverage that protects for up to 8 years or 100,000 miles. That’s a lot of protection and is just one more piece of evidence on how owners of the hybrid Escape can enjoy financial savings for years to come. You’re not likely to exceed this type of coverage in the near future, which means you’re free to rest easy for many years and miles to come.
Did you know the Ford Escape has earned a five-star rating for safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration? You know you’re in good hands when you get behind the wheel of the 2021 Ford Escape. Just take a look at some of this vehicle’s amazing safety features.
Each 2021 Ford Escape comes with what’s known as the Ford Co-Pilot 360. This is essentially a collection of premium safety options that the folks at Ford believe should be standard with all vehicles. The first of these features is the pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking. This feature is absolutely essential because it scans the road and alerts the driver of any potential hazards like a vehicle or person.
Pre-collision assist will alert you if you get too close to an object in front of you, perhaps because the vehicle in front of you began to unexpectedly slow down. If you do not react to this alert in time, the automatic braking system kicks in and will apply pressure to your brakes so that you stop before you collide with the object in front of you. This safety feature will not only save lives but could save you lots of money in the long run.
The Ford Co-Pilot 360 system also includes a lane-keeping system. This feature will monitor your car and how well it stays within your chosen lane. If you begin to drift out of your lane or over one of the white lines, you will receive an audible alert. If you don’t correct your vehicle properly, your Escape will ever so gently correct your steering for you so that you stay safely within your lane.
Finally, we have the BLIS (blind spot information system) with cross traffic alert. This system will alert you if you are trying to move into a lane that is already occupied by another vehicle. It can be difficult to keep track of absolutely everything that goes on around us, and blind spots are the Achilles heel of even the most experienced drivers. Cross traffic alert will also monitor what is going on behind you when you are backing up, say out of a driveway or parking spot. Because Ford believes you should never have to suffer merely because other drivers occupy the same road as you.
Of course, you are welcome to explore the higher trim levels and see what other safety options there are available for you to choose from. Your friendly Newton Ford South employee can walk you through all the extra options, should you decide you want more than just the basic safety features. However, should you choose to stick with the basics, you’re sure to rest easy knowing Ford has got your back where it really matters most.
Just because the 2021 Ford Escape is an affordable crossover doesn’t mean you’ll be sacrificing any kind of performance. In fact, the 2021 Escape offers drivers up to 181 horsepower with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine option and 250 horsepower with a larger 2.0L EcoBoost engine option. Depending on the engine you choose, you could experience a zero to sixty start time of between 7.7 seconds and 6 seconds.
Each Escape gasoline engine comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission, so you’ll have plenty of control over your vehicle’s driving experience. And even the hybrid option experiences up to 221 horsepower, so you won’t even suffer performance-wise when you opt for the more efficient hybrid Escape. You really are getting a lot of bang for your buck when you go with the 2021 Ford Escape.
The Escape comes with a high-quality suspension that ensures the driver and passengers will all experience a smooth and comfortable ride. The sophisticated steering system allows you to enjoy a controlled and precise driving and steering experience that is sure to impress. There is even an all-wheel drive option for those who feel the need to take their crossover to more adventurous places.
