If we’ve learned one thing about the Ford Escape since its inception, it’s that it’s a long distance runner in every sense of the word. In short, the mantle of the Blue Oval’s top selling compact crossover is one of enjoying the journey as it comes, rather than sprinting to the finish. So it comes as no surprise to us that for the 2017 refresh, Ford has refined these qualities to be better than ever.
There have been some visual updates, however. All Escape models get a new hexagonal grille that put it more in line with the Edge and other entries. Two new EcoBoost engines are available in the 2017 model—a 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter with a respective 179 and 245 horsepower. If you’re the sort who likes intelligent gadgetry with their fun-to-drive CUV, the availability of intelligent all-wheel drive will be a great boon, and earn you bragging rights.
But that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, friends! To see what the 2017 Escape is really all about, swing by our Ford dealership in Cleburne, TX and schedule a test drive. Once behind the wheel, seeing the Escape as the clear choice will be easier than ever.
