It is more than just a means of transportation; it is a tool for local engagement and a partner in your daily routine providing the reliability and flair needed to navigate the diverse landscapes of the Chicago metropolitan area.

Efficient Performance for the Modern Commute

Under the hood of this 2020 Ford Escape SEL lies a sophisticated EcoBoost 1.5L I-3 engine featuring port and direct injection and an intercooled turbocharger. This powertrain is engineered to deliver a responsive 181HP providing plenty of pep for merging onto the highway or navigating the gently rolling terrain of the local area. The 8-Speed Automatic Transmission with overdrive ensures smooth gear transitions while the Front Wheel Drive configuration is optimized for efficiency achieving an impressive 27 city and 33 highway MPG.

For added peace of mind the Lane Keeping Alert system helps ensure you stay centered in your lane during highway travel.

The vehicle is built with a robust safety structure featuring 7 airbags including a Driver side knee airbag and the Safety Canopy System for overhead protection in both rows.
