5 Reasons the 2019 Ford Escape is the Ideal SUV for Your CommuteSeeking a new car that is comfortable, spacious, and an altogether perfect option for long treks to school or work? Here are some of the highlights of the new 2019 Ford Escape SUV.

Move Over, Cargo!

One of the fabulous features of the 2019 SUV is the generous cargo space. Want extra room for your children’s gear, for travel, or for moving? Simply flip down the back seats for tons of extra space. You’ll have a fully flat surface to work with, as well as 68 cubic feet of room. There is also the option to lower just one seat, so you can have extra room for items as well as for a back-seat passenger. The space is so large that even if you keep the seats up, you’ll still have 34 cubic feet of room for luggage. The best perk about the storage area is that you can access it particularly easily with the hands-free, foot-activated lift gate.

Simple Parking

Probably one of the biggest hassles in a morning commute is finding an ideal parking spot. Well, you will now have extra help getting into any spot you choose with the visual aid of the standard rearview camera. Showing in luminous full color, the rear view camera will offer an image of your parking spot as soon as you begin to reverse. The reverse sensing system will then pipe up as needed, making noise if you get too close to an object. (The reverse sensing system accompanies the SEL and Titanium models.)

Extra Comfortable

When it comes to taking long rides, who doesn’t enjoy extra features and perks? It’s always a pleasure to enjoy a panoramic Vista Roof sunroof, which gives you a nice breeze and extra light on a pleasant day. The roof includes a large forward panel that tilts up or opens completely, as well as a fixed rear skylight. Likewise, if it’s the dead of winter, you will be grateful for the specialty heated steering wheel that keeps you cozy while you’re in traffic. The wheel is ergonomically designed for added comfort.

Dressed to Impress

First day on the new job? Your new Ford SUV will certainly impress. Pick from one of the car’s hottest colors, and enjoy the hip exterior, fully loaded with 19-inch premium magnetic-painted aluminum wheels, black-bezel headlamps and tail lamps, magnetic-painted honeycomb mesh front grill, skid plates, and mirror caps. If you’re heading up the carpool that morning, boy will your kids be impressed!

Luxurious Technology

While you’re driving through the city, you can chill out and enjoy with some great tunes on an excellent speaker and satellite system. Enjoy the super SiriusXM Satellite Radio and Navigation system, with Traffic and Travel Link. The system comes with a five-year subscription on the house, so you’ll have access to 150 channels of commercial-free music and sports. You’ll also love the internal GPS, which has 3-D mapping and voice-guided direction to help make finding your location a breeze.

This year, get ready for an especially comfortable commute with the 2019 Ford Escape. Learn more about the features, and come in for a test drive at your local dealership.
