2019 Ford Escape Titanium SUV Features and Specs

If you want to
see how far SUV design and styling has come in recent years, just take a look
at the original Ford Escape and compare it to the current 2019 Ford
Escape. It’s hard to believe it's the same vehicle, but to be fair, the
Escape is one of the most overtly sporty models in the compact crossover
segment. In fact, sporty wasn't really on the agenda back in 2000 when the
Escape first went into production. Of course, the Escape isn’t a luxury model,
so let's see how it gets to that description by taking a look at the
range-topping 2019 Ford Escape Titanium.
Exterior styling
The model we
have right now is part of the third-generation of the Ford Escape Titanium, and
it could hardly be more different from the previous second-generation. There
are plenty of macho, rugged-looking Ford SUVs in the current lineup, and there
are more on the way. The Escape goes in a completely different styling
direction, and although the Titanium isn’t a sport-focused trim level like Ford
uses elsewhere in its range, such as ST or ST-Line, but even the upscale
trimmings don’t detract from the Escape's inherent sleek, sporty lines and
silhouette. It's a bit of a flying wedge with a hint of training shoe about it,
and that probably accounts for its wide global appeal.
Powertrain
Even if you’re
not convinced by the fancy features and tech you get for the extra money with
the Escape Titanium trim level, this model is well worth considering purely on
the basis of the engine it comes equipped with. There are three engines
available in the Escape family, but only the Titanium trim gets you the
2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo-four as part of standard equipment. In fact, you can’t
even specify this engine as a cost-option with other trims. The engine puts out
a mighty impressive 245 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque, and you'll
certainly notice that amount of power and twist in a vehicle as compact as
this. The power is sent to your choice of the front or all four wheels through
a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission with Auto Start-Stop Technology
for improved fuel economy. This is a model where you might actually use the
paddle shifter on the steering wheel because this combination gets the Escape
Titanium from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds.
Features and equipment
The Titanium
has a lot of desirable features also found on the SEL, which include a power liftgate,
a reverse sensing system, dual-zone climate control, remote start, and the
Sync3 infotainments system with an 8.0-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto compatibility. On top of that, the Titanium adds things like
voice-activated navigation, hands-free foot activation for the power liftgate,
memory driver's seat, heated steering wheel, a 12-speaker 390-watt Sony audio
system, 18-inch alloys, ambient lighting, blind spot monitors, and plenty more.
