Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control

Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go² lets you set both your cruising speed, and distance from the vehicle in front. If it detects that traffic is slowing, the system will maintain that pre-set distance if conditions do not allow for your preferred cruising speed. It can even bring you to a complete stop in heavy traffic. Once the road in front is clear, the system automatically accelerates back up to your chosen speed – making it ideal for negotiating the crowded stop-start driving of urban environments. Add with Escape’s Lane Keeping System2 helping to prevent unintentional lane departures and keep you smoothly centred on motorways, those long journeys become even more enjoyable.

[2] Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. May not operate at certain speeds, or in certain driving, road or weather conditions.

Let Escape do the parking

Parking in a busy street or a tight space can be tricky. But with Active Park Assist², the All-New Ford Escape 6 makes it easier to park. With Active Park Assist activated, the Ford Escape⁶ can identify a suitable parking space, and then automatically perform the entire parking and exit manoeuvres for you. Activated with a simple push of a button, there’s no need for you to steer or use the pedals either – the car takes care of it all for you.

Panoramic Sunroof

Enjoy more of the great outdoors from the comfort of your Ford Escape Vignale. An electrically-operated, dual panel panorama roof truly lets you feel immersed in the surrounding scenery. The roof sits above the first and second rows of seats, flooding the interior with natural light and creating an abundance of fresh air when opened. The sliding glass also has a solar reflective coating to help keep the interior cool when closed, while an internal sunblind provides extra shade when you need it.
