At Red Rock Ford in Dickinson, our sales team is experienced at answering all kinds of questions. For folks who commute or are interested in getting the best fuel economy, the top characteristics that they generally ask about are fuel economy (of course), comfort and cargo space, safety features, and affordability.
We are proud that several Ford makes and models rank highly when we answer these popular commuter questions. Be sure to talk with a member of our sales team about specifics; however, at the top of our list for fuel economy is the Ford Escape.
Fuel Economy
Ford wanted you to have options for fuel economy. You can choose from a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid with a 2.5LiVCT Atkinson-cycle hybrid engine, a 1.5L Ecoboost, and a 2.0L EcoBoost with auto start-stop technology as available gas engines.
The Escape SE boasts 27mpg in the city and 33mpg on the highway, which is definitely impressive. The Escape SE Sport Hybrid locks up the competition at 44mpg city and 37mpg on the highway.
You’ll be saving money and time with either of these models!
Comfort and Cargo
Built for a person in motion, this SUV seats five comfortably. Ford provides convenience and versatility with an enviable 60/40 split-fold seat and an all-new sliding feature for more cargo space, or best-in-class second-row legroom with 40.7 inches of personal space.
On the SE model, we made sure the driver could withstand long distances in comfort with an available 10-way power driver seat with front row heat to take the chill off our Dakota winters.
Safety Features
If you are on the road a great deal, you need to drive with confidence. The 2020 Ford Escape was awarded the coveted Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick when equipped with available LED headlamps. Accolades don’t get much better than that!
We are proud of the safety features that are available and standard on all our Ford makes and models, not the least of which is our Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology. This suite of safety features is a literal life-saver that every commuter needs in their safety toolkit!
Ask one of our knowledgeable sales team members to explain which of these features are standard on the vehicle in which you’re most interested. Some of these features include:
-
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. Our sensors can detect when your vehicle is traveling at a significantly higher rate than the traffic ahead of you. If the sensors detect a collision may be imminent, you’ll be alerted to take corrective action. If action isn’t taken, Automatic Emergency Braking will kick in, keeping damage at a minimum if at all possible.
-
Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert. How many times have you asked your passenger, “Am I clear over there? How about now?” You don’t have to worry about that anymore with this feature. Sensors detect vehicles in your blind spot and alert you to their presence with an unobtrusive light in the corresponding side-view mirror. When traffic is clear, the light disappears.
-
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go. Perfect for a commuter, this feature is like kicked-up cruise control. You set your preferred cruising speed and determine the distance you’d like to keep from the traffic in front of you. Then, let us do the rest. We will maintain both speed and distance, so you don’t have to deal with irritating stops and starts at all.
Affordability
The Ford Escape is priced squarely in the middle of our other commuter vehicles, with a base MSRP in the mid-$20,000s. You can look at all the models we have available at the dealership on our website, or you can go to The Ford Company website and build the model you’re most interested in. Those numbers will give you a baseline from which you can think about your monthly budget.
Don’t hesitate to call our cracker-jack Finance Team, who will help you crunch numbers until we get to options that feel right for your unique situation.
