Slight updates have been made to the Ford Escape for the 2017 model year. The car receives some exterior modifications that give it a more stylish look, along with a few tech additions and new 2.0L four-cylinder engine option.

S, SE and Titanium continue to be the three main trim options offered on the 2017 Ford Escape in Santa Clara this year, with each offering a collection of impressive features. From excellent interior equipment to beneficial safety components, the crossover is a great option for cay buyers everywhere.

Features & Amenities

Depending on which model you choose or package you add on, the 2017 Ford Escape in Santa Clara offers many great features. Heated front seats, a nine-speaker stereo system, dual-zone automatic climate control, roof rails and an eight-way power passenger seat are just a few of the components available to buyers.

Additionally, models with SYNC 3 come with FordPass with Sync Connect this year, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, which aim to improve the driving experience.

Powertrain Options & MPG

Buyers can choose from three different powertrains on the 2017 Escape. The base engine is a 2.5L four-cylinder; however, several 2017 Ford Escape reviews prefer the SUV's new turbo 1.5L four-cylinder, which is offered on the SE and Titanium. Generating 179 horsepower and 172 lb.-ft. of torque, it does not disappoint. For those who want a little more power, a 2.0L turbo engine is also available, producing 245 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque.

Complete with a FWD setup, the 1.5L four-cylinder delivers the best fuel economy. An EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined, 23 city and 30 highway can be achieved with the engine.

Safety Equipment

Airbags, traction and stability control, and antilock brakes are three safety components you'll find on the new Escape. You'll also be pleased to know the model comes with a rearview camera and blind-spot mirrors, which greatly benefit drivers. A number of safety technologies are optional as well, including forward collision alert, lane-departure warning and blind-spot warning with cross-traffic alert.
