Ah yes, Memorial Day weekend. The sizzle of hot dogs on the grill, the smell of freshly cut grass and summer air, and if you're one of the many people who makes the unfortunate mistake of traveling this weekend, the incessant honking of thousands of angry people stuck in a traffic jam, their cars slowly running out of gas while barely moving anywhere. Yes, driving during any holiday can be a real pain, but from behind the wheel of a 2017 Ford Escape, it doesn't have to be.
The 2017 Ford Escape's EcoBoost engine comes equipped with Auto Start-Stop technology. This innovative new feature allows the 2017 Ford Escape to shut off its engine when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. So while other drivers are sitting there, idling away the last of their fuel reserves, drivers in the 2017 Ford Escape will have plenty of fuel left when traffic starts moving again. Best of all, all the features in the cabin will still function, meaning you can enjoy cool comfort and all your favorite tunes, even with the engine off.
Auto Start-Stop technology is just one of the many innovative features that Ford has packed into the new 2017 Escape. So, if you'd like to learn more about this efficient, new compact SUV, visit us at Heritage Ford for a test drive today!
