Introducing the Ford Escape in Hardwick
The Ford Escape is an exciting compact SUV now available at Lamoille Valley Ford Inc. in Hardwick. This athletic SUV provides robust EcoBoost engines, an abundance of smart technology, and ample cargo space for families in Burlington.
Powerful Turbocharged Engine Options
Montpelier drivers: the Escape offers two turbocharged EcoBoost engine choices, so Vermont drivers get strong acceleration. The standard 1.5-liter inline three-cylinder generates 180 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. For even more power, upgrade to the available two-liter inline four-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. This muscular turbo engine comes standard on higher trims like the Platinum. Both engines pair with a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive shifting.
With the base 1.5-liter engine, drivers in Hardwick can expect up to 32 mpg on the highway. Front-wheel drive models with the 1.5-liter engine get 30 mpg combined. The Escape also comes equipped with a regenerative braking system that captures kinetic energy and uses it to recharge the battery. This helps maximize fuel efficiency for trips around Vermont's winding roads. Certain models like the Active trim offer an impressive 3,500 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped. This gives Vermont residents the strength to haul boats, ATVs, snowmobiles, and camping gear to their favorite spots.
The New Ford Escape Hybrid delivers even greater efficiency with its electrified powertrain. Learn more about this new efficient option here at our dealership in Hardwick, VT.
Spacious, Technology-Filled Interior
The Escape provides ample room for families in Vermont with 42.4 inches of front legroom and up to 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down. The SUV keeps passengers connected with standard FordPass Connect that turns the Escape into a WiFi hotspot able to connect up to 10 devices.
Higher trims like the Platinum and ST-Line Elite pamper drivers in Hardwick with heated leather seats, ambient lighting, and a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. The available SYNC 4 infotainment system comes with a 13.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, natural voice recognition and integrated navigation.
Some intelligent driver assist features include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, evasive steering assist to help avoid collisions, and speed sign recognition to detect speed limit signs. The available 360-degree camera gives you a bird's eye view around the Escape for easier parking in tight Vermont spots.
Abundant Safety Technology
Ford equips the new Escape with plenty of protective safety features. This includes blind spot monitoring that alerts you when a vehicle is in your blind spot while changing lanes. While driving around Essex, the available lane-centering system uses steering adjustments to help keep the Escape centered in its lane.
Other advanced aids include automatic high beam headlights that switch between high and low beams based on traffic, reverse brake assist to stop the vehicle if an object is detected behind, and forward collision warning. The Escape has also earned high safety scores from the NHTSA and IIHS, giving Vermont families peace of mind out on the roads.
