The Ford Escape is a versatile and energetic compact SUV that we at Steve Marsh Ford think is perfect for Medina drivers. If you’ve seen this terrific vehicle driving around Gibson County and have been looking for a Ford dealer near Medina that can tell you all about it, we hope you’ll visit us. This awesome model has been part of the Ford family for over 20 years and garnered many awards thanks to its innovative technology, stylish design, and overall value it delivers to drivers.
We understand the local roads and lifestyle in and around Medina. We’ve test-driven all the trims of the 2024 Escape, and we feel confident that this compact SUV will improve your daily drives. Here are six reasons we know drivers will love the 2024 Ford Escape.
#1 - Tremendous Fuel Economy for Commuters
With Memphis just over an hour away and all that it has to offer, we know that Medina drivers who commute into the large metropolitan area will appreciate the fuel economy of the 2024 Escape. The base EcoBoost engine model has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 30 MPG combined. Whether you’re running errands around town or taking a long trip out of town, you’ll enjoy great efficiency on city roads and on the highways.
It’s also worth mentioning that the 2024 Escape is available in hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants. Drivers who spend a lot of time in the stop-and-go traffic of downtown Jackson can turn that braking energy into battery energy, enjoying an estimated fuel economy of 39 MPG combined. Meanwhile, get the Escape PHEV, and you can plug it into a charger to top off the battery and benefit from an estimated 101 MPGe.
While we understand that public chargers might not be abundant everywhere you go, there are several in Jackson so commuters can recharge before heading home to Medina at the end of the day. Alternatively, you can install a charging station at your home and not rely on public stations.
#2 - Foldable Rear Seats for Extra Cargo
With so many great parks in the area, like the Medina Community Park and Lion’s Park, we know drivers in this region might like loading up their Escape with bicycles, foldable picnic tables, and other items that let you enjoy a beautiful Tennessee summer day outside. Luckily, the Escape’s rear seats fold down, creating a cavernous cargo area for bulky items. When your arms are loaded up with shopping bags, don't worry. The available power liftgate lets you open the trunk with a push of a button. Even if nobody is around to exhibit classic Southern charm and open the trunk for you, you don’t need the help.
#3 - Lots of Rear Legroom
If you have kids in South Gibson County High School or Middle School, then you know how quickly teens sprout up. The great news is that the 2024 Ford Escape is known for a generous amount of rear legroom. As your kids continue to grow, they won’t feel cramped in the back seat of the Escape. Of course, we can’t prevent complaints about who is hogging the available rear smart charging USB ports. You’re on your own with that one. Single individuals and professionals who mostly transport adult passengers will also find that their rear seat passengers are comfortable in the spacious rear seat of the Escape. The Escape might be a compact SUV, but nothing about its interior feels compact.
#4 - Solid Towing Figures for a Compact SUV
If you enjoy boating days over on Kentucky Lake, we have good news: the 2024 Escape can tow up to 3,500 lbs with its optional 2.0L EcoBoost engine. There’s no better way to enjoy the temperate weather of Tennessee than days on the lake, and with the Escape, you can tow a modestly-sized boat to your destination. Alternatively, you can use it to tow a small camper with you when you want to spend a few nights beneath the stars. People don’t often think of towing abilities when they shop for a compact SUV. We love highlighting this feature for shoppers who think they can only tow with a pickup truck.
#5 - Smartphone Compatibility for Finding Info You Need
Thanks to smartphone compatibility, you can easily use the apps you love right there on your Escape’s touchscreen. That means you can use your preferred navigation app to know which direction you’re headed on Route 45. You can also use your internet browser to look up hours for local businesses. In a small town like Medina, you know that the mom-and-pop coffee shops and diners don’t exactly keep “regular” hours—sometimes, you just have to call and find out if Rhode’s Family Diner is still open.
You can also use your favorite music streaming apps in your Escape and get that perfect playlist to set the mood for your commute or your day running errands around town. Plus, you can make hands-free calls with the SYNC 4 system, so you can keep your hands on the wheel while you pick up that call from a coworker or family member.
#6 - A Panoramic Vista Roof
On those days you want to enjoy the beautiful green landscape in Medina, you can look out the Escape’s Panoramic Vista Roof. With sprawling views of your surroundings, this roof can help remind you why you chose to live in this pristine, friendly, and safe corner of Tennessee. Plus, you’ll get some vitamin D while cruising around, which can boost your mood (even though everybody in Medina is already pretty content).
