Test drive a new 2020 Ford Escape at Sherwood Ford in Edmonton AB
There’s no denying that the 2020 Escape is a much savvier and more innovative option than its Toyota counterpart, especially when you consider what it houses inside. There, you’ll find an Available Head-Up Display, high-clarity Driver Information Cluster, and much more, none of which is present on the RAV4. There’s also Intelligent All-Wheel Drive with Driveline Disconnect, making the Escape a much better companion than the RAV4 when your travels take you off the beaten path. Even so, you can trust in Ford’s entry to the crossover world to keep you safe from harm. Some of its top safety features include:
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
Auto High-Beam Headlamps
Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert
Lane-Keeping System

Many more!
