ford escape 2016

Redesign of exterior and interior


 If we compare the upcoming 2016 Ford Escape with its current model, we won’t be able to see many changes. New Escape is about to be just slightly redesigned.  It will be designed as a modern SUV with an elegant line giving it better aerodynamics. The platform this model will use is Ford’s Global C platform. New model will come with redesigned headlights, taillights, bigger grille and with bigger bumper too.  Redesigned new grille will come in three parts and headlights should go with LED lights. The hood will be narrower and the roof will come with roof rack and light signals. As far as rear part of the vehicle is concerned, it will suffer some changes too. Here we could see large LED lights with two chrome exhaust pipes. New Escape will be equipped with new and redesigned aluminum wheels. Like before, the Escape is designed for five passengers. The interior of the vehicle will be very spacious and made only with high quality materials. Some of the features this new Ford’s SUV will also share with its owners are: airbags, electronic stability, ABS, engine immobilizer, traction control etc.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options

 

The 2016 Ford Escape is a compact crossover SUV that comes in three trim levels: S, SE and Titanium.

Upgrading to the SE adds 17-inch alloy wheels (optional on S), the 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, automatic headlights, foglights, a keyless entry keypad, rear privacy glass, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat (with power lumbar), upgraded cloth upholstery, a rear center armrest and satellite radio.

The SE Leather Comfort package contributes heated mirrors, leather upholstery and heated front seats. You can also get the heated seats and mirrors, plus a windshield wiper de-icer with the Cold Weather package. Also available are a power liftgate (requires SE Convenience package), 18-inch wheels and remote ignition.
At the top of the line, the Titanium combines the SE packages and options listed above with an exclusive foot sensor for the power liftgate, keyless entry and ignition, ambient interior lighting, an eight-way power-adjustable passenger seat (with power lumbar), driver memory settings, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a 10-speaker Sony audio system with HD radio.

Safety

Antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front-seat side airbags, a driver knee airbag and full-length side curtain airbags are standard on the 2016 Ford Escape. Ford's MyKey (enabling owners to set electronic parameters for younger drivers), a rearview camera and blind-spot mirrors are also standard. A blind-spot warning system with cross-traffic alerts is optional on the Titanium via the Technology package.
In Edmunds brake testing, an Escape SE 1.6 came to a stop from 60 mph in an admirably short 115 feet.
In government crash tests, the Escape earned an overall rating of four stars (out of a possible five), with four stars for total frontal-impact crash protection and five stars for total side-impact protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Escape a top score of "Good" in its moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact and roof-strength crash tests. The Escape's seat and head restraint design was also rated "Good" for whiplash protection in rear impacts, but it received the lowest score of "Poor" in the small-overlap frontal-offset crash test.
