The Ford Escape is significantly updated for model year 2017 with more of what Escape customers said they wanted -- the latest driver-assist technologies, connectivity and two new fun-to-drive and efficient EcoBoost engines.

The 2017 Escape features available SYNC Connect mobile access and driver-assist technologies such as adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support, a lane-keeping system, and Enhanced Active Park Assist -- all packed in a vehicle that's been redesigned from the inside out.

Escape is the first Ford vehicle to make Auto Start/Stop technology standard with either of two new-to-Escape EcoBoost engines -- a 1.5-liter EcoBoost and a 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged EcoBoost. Auto Start/Stop technology shuts off the engine during common stops, so the vehicle burns no gas and emits zero tailpipe emissions. Base models are powered by a 2.5-liter i-VCT four-cylinder engine.

Auto Start/Stop system senses when a vehicle is sitting idle and shuts off the engine to conserve fuel. When shut off, an engine burns no fuel and emits zero harmful emissions.

Changes to the interior include a new push-button electronic parking brake, which replaces the large, traditional hand-actuated parking brake. The gear shifter was repositioned rearward to give improved access to climate controls on the center stack. A media bin was added at bottom of the stack, offering access to a USB port and a covered power outlet. The redesign features improved cupholders, two new storage bins and a larger center armrest.

The Escape features an all-new steering wheel with easy-to-work buttons for audio and climate system controls, and a new "swing-bin" glove box gives provides easier access to stored items.

Exterior design changes to the front and rear give the 2017 Escape a more confident, rugged persona. The redesigned hood and raised trapezoidal upper set a wider stance evoking a more prominent feel.
