Tech & Safety – The Perfect Match

What better way to use technology than for high-tech safety features? Ford as a brand has committed to putting top safety features in their whole lineup. It’s known as the Ford Co-Pilot360, and it comes standard in the 2021 Ford Escape. As you go higher in trims of the 2021 Escape, you have more standard and available Co-Pilot360 features. No matter which model of the 2021 Escape you choose, you can still expect safety features that work with you to ensure a safer drive.

Some of these features include pre-collision assist with automatic braking, blind spot detection, cross traffic alert when reversing, adaptive cruise control, rear view camera, lane-keep assist, and auto high-beam headlights. Each of these features work in conjunction with your great driving skills to keep good defense and offense in driving situations. Think of it as an extra layer of protection. Knowing you have an extra set of “eyes” when you’re backing out of a parking spot or changing lanes on the busy interstate is reassuring.

There’s even more safety technology available on the 2021 Ford Escape, like the available park assist, evasive steering assist, and a voice-activated navigation system. Sometimes we want a little extra technology that not only gives us safety but convenience too. The blending of technology and safety is perfectly executed in the 2021 Ford Escape.

Interior Technology

Ford has packed out the interior of the Escape with technology that you will get used every time you get behind the wheel. That’s the best kind of technology, right? Features we can actually use and that make our life easier. Well, the 2021 Escape is filled with them—everything from high-tech displays to phone charging to the crisp audio sound quality.

SYNC 3 is Ford’s technology used on the interactive touchscreen on the Escape. You can easily control components of the Escape like climate control, changing songs, making a phone call, and more. You can do all of this with voice control, leaving you more focused on the road in front of you. The voice controls on the steering wheel make it even more convenient too. The other control for your vehicle settings is on the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. This technology allows you to choose exactly what you want displayed while driving.

While SYNC 3 allows you to make calls and texts from your phone, you will likely need to keep it charged up. In the 2021 Ford Escape, there’s an available wireless charger. So with a compatible smartphone device, you can stay all juiced up without the clutter of cords. Just simply set it down on the wireless charging pad and watch it go. It’s technology that simplifies things, and we can get behind that.

A fully charged phone means more time to listen to the latest episode of that true-crime podcast or your perfectly curated playlist. With the available Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, it will never sound better. You can enjoy ten speakers of pure and crisp sound. There’s no doubt your 2021 Ford Escape will become the most desired vehicle among your friends.
