You've got places to go, people to see, and things to do, and they're bound to take you all over northwestern Pennsylvania. Luckily, you've got a ride that offers comprehensive protection and provides the ultimate peace of mind to keep those travels enjoyable: the new Ford Escape. If, however, you're not taking advantage of its sterling safety credentials behind the wheel yet, there are plenty of reasons why you should be.
For one, 2019 Escape gets high crash-resistance ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Evaluating both front- and intelligent four-wheel-drive variants of the compact SUV, the NHTSA gave it five stars overall, making five in frontal and side crash categories and four in the rollover category. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) quickly followed suit, too, giving its highest rating of "Good" for its own moderate overlap front crash, side crash, roof strength, head restraints, and seats categories.
But some top honors from the industry's safety authorities aren't all the new Escape has to show for the Ford commitment to driving security. Its equipment for the purpose is wraparound.
- Personal Safety, Safety Canopy, and SOS Post-Crash Alert systems engird you in several redundant safeguards, while AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control) and Curve Control keep you on an even keel and cornering precisely.
- The optional Ford Safe and Smart Package, on the other hand, incorporates helpful components like rain-sensing wipers, auto high-beam headlamps, a lane-keeping system, adaptive cruise control, and a forward collision warning feature with brake support.
- Other options include a Blind Spot Information System, cross-traffic alert, a standard rearview camera, an available front 180-degree camera with split view and washer.
- Escape is even first vehicle in the small crossover class to offer available inflatable rear safety belts, which can reduce the injury risks while providing head and neck support. They're even compatible with most infant and child-safety seats.
