New Ford Escape

Overview

With genuine 4WD capabilities and sedan like handling, the Ford Escape is equally at home in the city or off the beaten track.

The real beauty of driving the ZD Escape is that it lets you be as adventurous as you want to be. It means you can make those spur-of-the-moment decisions. For instance, you've just picked up the kids from school on Friday afternoon, the weather for the weekend looks good, so loading up the Escape and making tracks is a breeze. Plus, having a capable SUV like the Escape means you'll spend more time at your destination rather than wasting time tackling the terrain.

Whether you take the high road or highway, the 2.3 litre 4-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) provides responsiveness, while the Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) assists in maintaining full wheel contact, giving better stability and grip. When you leave the bitumen, Escape's ground clearance and 'On-Demand 4WD' lets you take the rough stuff in your stride. All up, you have the power and handling to escape just about anywhere in comfort.

Features

Escape in comfort

Travelling couldn't be any easier or more comfortable because everything has been designed to make your escape as easy and luxurious as possible.

Welcome to the great indoors. With an interior that feels more like your lounge room, the Escape interior is designed to make long trips feel like you're driving to the shops. And a trip to the shops? Well, you'll wish the trip was longer. There's ample room for 5 adults, and with seats that fold flat you have the option of extra carrying capacity. Sitting behind the wheel you'll feel right at home. The high ride height gives you excellent visibility, while the comfort of the plush seats, easy-reach buttons and centre console, one-touch climate control and a six stacker CD player means no matter where you drive the Escape you'll arrive more relaxed than when you started.

Solid and safe

With a swag of safety features that help protect both driver and passengers, you can be assured every journey in the Escape is a safe one.

Whether you find yourself on a bumpy bush track or on basketball pick-up duties with the kids, you'll feel the Escape travels solidly on all terrain. And with double door seals and a quiet cabin, everyone on board can sit back, relax and enjoy the journey even more. Adding to Escape's robust build and assured handling is a long list of safety measures including side intrusion beams for extra cabin strength and driver, front passenger and front seat side head/thorax airbags. Plus, when you do find yourself off the beaten track you'll be glad to know Escape's high ground clearance means you'll be able to navigate steep inclines and declines.Wherever you travel you need to be prepared and, when it comes to helping you avoid accidents, Escape has all the features. For example, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) assists in balancing braking force between front and rear wheels, depending on driving and vehicle load conditions. Working alongside EBD is Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), a system that interprets a driver's braking behaviour and automatically initiates full braking faster than a driver ever could.
