Additionally, the SE series gets an available chrome appearance package that includes elegant accents like chrome door handles, liftgate appliqué, side-mirror skullcaps, roof rails, rear license plate appliqué and chrome trim on the front fascia... Available for the first time for the SE series Escape is a leather comfort package, which adds heated leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated power sideview mirrors, and one-touch front and rear windows. Escape maintains its popular powertrain lineup, with the 1. 6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine standard for the SE series. Customers can also select a 2. 0-liter EcoBoost or 2. 5-liter i-VCT I-4. Available intelligent all-wheel drive uses software and sensors to analyze data from 25 external signals including wheel speed, accelerator pedal position and steering wheel... The system uses the sensor inputs to help the driver turn the vehicle – adding and subtracting torque as needed via an electromagnetic clutch to deliver confident handling and traction performance in a variety of conditions.
