2017 Ford Escape SE: The Ultimate Suburban Companion for West Tennessee Drivers

Life in the Mid-South requires a vehicle that can keep up with a diverse range of daily demands, and this 2017 Ford Escape SE is designed to do exactly that. Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods of Bartlett, TN, where the air is crisp and the school run is the first priority of the day. This Oxford White crossover fits perfectly into the suburban landscape, offering the right balance of footprint and interior space to navigate tight driveway turns and busy drop-off lanes with ease. Whether you are heading into the office or preparing for a weekend of community events, this Escape provides a polished, professional appearance that feels right at home in any driveway.

As you transition from the residential streets to the highway, the Escape proves its worth as a premier commuter. For those living in Cordova, TN, the daily drive into Memphis involves a mix of surface streets and interstate merging that requires a vehicle with poise and predictability. This crossover was engineered to handle the rhythm of suburban life, providing a elevated seating position that gives you a clear view of the road ahead. It is more than just a mode of transportation; it is a tool for managing a busy lifestyle, ensuring that every trip—from the grocery store to the soccer field—is handled with comfort and confidence.

Efficient Performance for the Tri-State Commute

Under the hood of this 2017 Ford Escape SE lies an Intercooled Turbo Regular Unleaded I-4 1.5 L engine, a powerplant specifically chosen for its ability to balance pep with efficiency. This 1.5L EcoBoost engine features auto start-stop technology, which is a game-changer for those frequent stops along the busy corridors of the Memphis metro area. It helps conserve fuel while you are waiting at a long light or sitting in afternoon traffic, contributing to an impressive 23 city / 30 hwy MPG rating. This means fewer stops at the pump during your weekly travels between home, work, and weekend errands.

The power is delivered smoothly through a 6-speed Automatic transmission, providing a seamless driving experience whether you are cruising at highway speeds or navigating neighborhood intersections. As a Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicle, this Escape offers predictable handling and efficient power delivery, making it an ideal choice for the generally flat to gently rolling terrain found throughout the region. Whether you are crossing the bridge from Marion, AR, or navigating the suburban bypasses, the mechanical configuration of this crossover is tuned for the reality of modern driving, prioritizing a smooth ride and consistent performance across every mile.

Seamless Technology and Connectivity

In today's world, staying connected while on the move is a necessity, and the 2017 Ford Escape SE comes equipped to keep you in touch without taking your focus off the road. The inclusion of Bluetooth® Connection allows for hands-free calling and wireless audio streaming, ensuring your favorite playlists or podcasts are always available for the drive. To keep your hands where they belong, the Steering wheel mounted audio controls and Steering Wheel Audio Controls put the power of your entertainment system right at your fingertips.

For those who prefer a direct link, the Auxiliary Audio Input provides a reliable connection for your external devices. Information is also readily available at a glance thanks to the Outside temperature display, helping you stay ahead of the changing West Tennessee weather. These intuitive tech features are designed to integrate into your daily routine, making every trip more enjoyable and less stressful. Whether you are listening to the morning news on your way to work or coordinating plans for the evening, the technology suite in this Escape is focused on utility and ease of use.

Refined Comfort and Interior Versatility

Step inside to a cabin finished in Medium Light Stone cloth, a color palette that creates an open, airy feel within the vehicle. The Unique Cloth Buckets w/60/40 Split Rear Seat provide a supportive and comfortable foundation for both short trips and longer journeys. The driver is treated to a Power driver seat with Driver Adjustable Lumbar support, ensuring you can find the perfect ergonomic position for your commute. When you have extra gear or local finds to transport, the Pass-Through Rear Seat and Split folding rear seat allow you to customize the cargo area to fit your specific needs.

Convenience is woven throughout the interior, featuring Keyless Entry and Remote keyless entry for quick access when your hands are full. The Power Liftgate adds a layer of luxury and practicality, making it simple to load up after a shopping trip.

With Climate Control and Cruise Control standard, the environment inside the Escape remains exactly how you like it, regardless of the conditions outside in the Mid-South.

Comprehensive Safety for Peace of Mind

Safety is a top priority for any family-oriented vehicle, and the 2017 Ford Escape SE is built with a comprehensive suite of protective features. The Back-Up Camera and Exterior Parking Camera Rear provide a clear view of what is behind you, making reversing out of busy parking lots or driveways much safer. This is further enhanced by the BLIS w/Cross Traffic Alert, which acts as an extra set of eyes, warning you of vehicles in your blind spot or approaching from the side while you are in reverse.

The structural safety of the Escape is robust, featuring Dual front impact airbags, Dual front side impact airbags, an Overhead airbag, and a Knee airbag to protect occupants from multiple angles. Braking performance is managed by 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with ABS brakes and Brake assist, ensuring you can stop confidently when it matters most. For those traveling with younger passengers, Child Safety Locks are included to provide that extra level of security, while the Occupant sensing airbag ensures the system deploys correctly based on who is in the seat.

Sophisticated Exterior Design and Style

The Oxford White exterior of this Escape SE is both timeless and practical, reflecting the sun during hot Tennessee summers and maintaining a clean, sharp look with minimal effort. The design is accented by 17 inch Sparkle Silver Painted Aluminum wheels, which provide a premium touch to the vehicle's profile. Practicality meets style with the Black Roof-Rack Side Rails, offering a mounting point for extra gear, while the body-color bumpers provide a cohesive and modern aesthetic.

Visibility is a strong suit for this crossover, equipped with Halogen Projector Headlamps, Fog Lamps, and Front fog lights to cut through the morning mist or heavy rain. The Automatic Headlights and Fully automatic headlights mean you never have to worry about switching your lights on or off, as the vehicle handles it for you based on ambient light levels.
