2020 Ford Escape New Feature Highlights

Ford has always had an aptitude for packing serious value into the smallest packages. The Ford Escape continues to be a sterling example of that talent as it rolls into the 2020 model year with a number of new feature offerings. See why this model has been dubbed Ford’s smartest-ever small SUV when we explore the new feature highlights of the 2020 Ford Escape.

Technology & Convenience Features

Among the new features found in the 2020 Ford Escape is a 575-watt 10-speaker B&O sound system. The new audio setup replaces the 390-watt Sony system found on the model’s previous generation. Nestled in the front center console, an available wireless charging pad now keeps you at full charge as you barrel down the road. Drivers can now also opt for the new 12.3-Inch All-Digital Instrument Cluster for a seriously high-tech setup.

What’s more, the 2020 Escape Titanium becomes the first Ford in North America to feature the all-new Heads Up Display. The 6-inch display is projected right on the lower edge of the windshield, offering important driving information at a glance.

Driver Assistance Features

A new selectable drive mode system joins the standard features list in the 2020 Ford Escape. Drivers choose from four modes, inluding normal, eco, sport/slippery and snow/sand.

Several advanced active safety features found in the Safe and Smart Package on the 2019 Escape become standard on the 2020 model. That means even the base-level Escape S will come equipped with automatic high beams, blind-spot detection, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking.

A more advanced parking assist system makes its debut on the 2020 Escape roster as well. Called Active Park Assist 2.0, the new system allows drivers to park in a parallel or perpendicular spot with the touch of a button. In fact, it’s the first system in its class that doesn’t require the driver to work the steering wheel, gear shifter, gas or brake pedal.

The 2020 Escape is also the first in its class to feature Evasive Steering Assist, which detects when a vehicle ahead has braked quickly or stopped and provides steering support to help avoid collision.
