Used 2019 Ford Escape for Sale near New Jersey

The Escape has been part of the Ford lineup since 2001, when it was the company's plucky small SUV. Ford refreshed the Escape for 2017, offering a more muscular grille and updated headlight design. That redesign carries over for 2019. The Escape has sleek styling, yet it provides plenty of cargo space and interior headroom. The Escape has 34 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. With the 60/40 split-fold rear bench down, the Escape has a cargo capacity of 70 cubic feet. Inside, the Escape has a modern, high-tech dash layout. Trims for the Escape include S, SE, SEL, and Titanium. Standard features on the base S trim include a driver’s blind-spot mirror with integrated wide angle, four 12-volt power points, a USB charging port, and the SYNC infotainment system. On the base S trim, SYNC includes a 4.2-inch color LCD screen and Bluetooth. Moving up to the SE trim gets you the larger SYNC3 infotainment system with an 8-inch color touchscreen. It features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and it can connect to your Amazon Alexa account via the Ford+Alexa system. The SE trim also provides SiriusXM satellite radio, remote keyless entry, push-button start, remote start, heated front seats, and dual smart-charging USB ports. Moving up to the SEL adds leather seating and a hands-free power liftgate. It’s also available with the SEL Sport Appearance Package, which includes 19-inch dark-accent aluminum wheels, LED fog lights, and dark bezels for the head- and taillights.

The range-topping Titanium trim provides 10-way power-adjustable front seats, voice-activated navigation, and a 10-speaker Sony premium audio system. Buyers can also get a panoramic sunroof as a standalone option on the Titanium, or as part of broader options packages.
