2018 Ford Escape Safety Features

Drivers in the Dover, Middletown, and Odessa areas don't just choose cars for their drivability or technological bells and whistles. Safety is always a top concern. Crossover SUVs allow drivers to get the drivability of a passenger vehicle with the heft and safety of an SUV, a choice that combines the best of both worlds.

Winner Ford, in Wilmington, stands ready to meet that desire with a large inventory of crossover SUVs for drivers all across Delaware. One of the SUVs we are excited about is the 2018 Ford Escape, a great choice for any consumer who has safety as a top priority. A quick look at the safety features of the 2018 Ford Escape will serve to reassure car buyers in the market for this type of vehicle.

Top Safety Rating

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives the 2018 Ford Escape its highest possible safety rating: the 5-Star Overall Safety Rating. The NHTSA rated the Escape with a very good rollover rating (meaning the likelihood is very low) and top marks in front and side crash tests. U.S. News and World Report ranked the 2018 Escape a 9.4 out of 10, making it one of the safest compact SUVs on the market.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also gave this model an overall good rating. Experts all agree: the 2018 Ford Escape is a very good choice when it comes to driver and passenger safety.

Safety Features

There are a lot of safety features that come with the Escape, including a rearview camera that is standard on all models. Consumers can expect numerous airbags deployed throughout the vehicle, as well as traction control and electronic stability control on some models.

For the highest level of safety, Ford offers its Safe and Smart™ package. This is an incredible piece of safety technology. Imagine a cruise control system that doesn't just allow you to pick a speed, but it also allows you to select the distance you want to maintain from the car in front of you. Imagine a system that can alert you when you begin to drift into another lane. Imagine if your vehicle could automatically brake when it senses an impending collision with the car in front of you. Who wouldn't like to have a monitor in the vehicle that could sound an alert if the driver became overly drowsy?

This is safety taken to a whole other level, and it all can be yours with the addition of the Safe and Smart™ package from Ford for your 2018 Escape. If you are making safety a priority for your family vehicle, this vehicle has you covered and then some!
