2017 Ford Escape Titanium: The Sophisticated Solution for Your Daily Mid-South Commute

The 2017 Ford Escape Titanium represents a perfect harmony of suburban utility and modern refinement, making it an ideal choice for the diverse lifestyles found throughout our region. Whether you are navigating the quiet, tree-lined streets of Bartlett, TN on your way to a community event or heading out for a weekend of errands, this crossover provides the versatility and comfort that active families and professionals demand. The Shadow Black exterior exudes a professional yet adventurous aesthetic that looks just as at home parked near the local parks as it does in a downtown office garage.

Living in a vibrant community like Cordova, TN means your vehicle needs to transition seamlessly from the morning school run to a quick stop at Shelby Farms Park. This Escape was designed with that exact flexibility in mind. It offers a commanding view of the road without the bulk of a full-sized SUV, allowing you to navigate suburban traffic with confidence and ease. The Titanium trim level ensures that every mile spent behind the wheel feels like a premium experience, providing a sanctuary of quiet and comfort amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life in the Mid-South.

Turbocharged Efficiency and Refined Performance

Under the hood of this 2017 Ford Escape Titanium lies the EcoBoost 1.5L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This sophisticated powerplant is engineered with a DOHC configuration and variable valve control, featuring an intercooled turbo that delivers a spirited 179HP. This setup is particularly beneficial for those commuting from Arlington, TN, where the blend of highway stretches and suburban stop-and-go traffic requires an engine that can respond quickly while maintaining impressive efficiency. With an EPA-estimated 30 hwy mpg and 23 city mpg, this crossover respects your fuel budget without sacrificing the passing power needed on the interstate.

The driving dynamics are further enhanced by the 6-speed automatic transmission, which features Transmission electronic control and a Transmission oil cooler to ensure long-term durability. For those who prefer a more engaged driving experience, the Selectable mode transmission with SelectShift Sequential shift controls on the steering wheel allows you to take manual control of gear changes. The Front Wheel Drive system is paired with a Four wheel independent suspension featuring a Strut front suspension and a Short and long arm rear suspension. This combination provides a smooth, composed ride that absorbs the imperfections of the road, whether you are traversing the flat terrain near the Mississippi River floodplain or the gently rolling hills typical of West Tennessee.

To further optimize efficiency during your daily commute, the Escape is equipped with auto start-stop technology. This system intelligently shuts down the engine when the vehicle comes to a complete stop at a traffic light and restarts it instantly when you lift your foot off the brake, reducing idle time and emissions. The Active grille shutters also play a role in performance by managing airflow to reduce drag at highway speeds. Every aspect of the powertrain, from the Aluminum engine block to the Transverse mounted engine orientation, has been calculated to provide a balanced and reliable driving experience for the modern suburbanite.

Advanced Connectivity and Intuitive Technology

In today's connected world, your vehicle serves as a mobile hub, and the 2017 Ford Escape Titanium is exceptionally well-equipped to keep you in touch with what matters. The center of the cabin is dominated by an 8 inch primary display featuring a Primary monitor touchscreen. This interface hosts the SYNC 3 Communications & Entertainment System, which includes smart device integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This allows you to seamlessly mirror your smartphone's interface, giving you access to your favorite music, messaging apps, and maps directly on the vehicle's screen while you travel through Millington, TN.

Navigation is a breeze thanks to the Integrated navigation system with voice activation. Whether you are looking for a new restaurant or navigating to a local festival, the Voice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation System provides clear directions without requiring you to take your eyes off the road. The audio experience is equally impressive, featuring a Sony speakers system with 10 Speakers and a 390W amplifier. You can enjoy your favorite media via SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, or through Wireless audio streaming via Bluetooth® Connection.

The technology extends beyond entertainment to include helpful driver information tools. The Analog instrumentation display is supplemented by a Digital clock, Compass, and an Outside temperature display, keeping you informed of your surroundings at a glance. With 2 USB ports and Steering wheel mounted audio controls, managing your media and keeping your devices charged is simple and intuitive. The inclusion of SYNC Services mobile hotspot internet access ensures that you and your passengers can stay connected even when you are on the move, making long drives across the region much more enjoyable for everyone on board.

Premium Interior Comfort and Versatile Utility

The interior of the Escape Titanium is a masterclass in ergonomic design and premium materials. The cabin features Cloth and leather front seat upholstery in a sophisticated Black color scheme, providing a durable yet upscale feel. The Sport front bucket seats are designed to offer excellent support during long commutes, with the Heated front seats providing immediate warmth on chilly Tennessee mornings. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy 8-way directional controls and 2-way power lumbar support, ensuring that you can find the perfect seating position for any journey.

Convenience is woven into every detail of the cabin. The Memory seat system includes 3 memory settings that save positions for the drivers seat and the Heated door mirrors, which is a fantastic feature for households with multiple drivers. The Dual-zone front climate control allows both the driver and passenger to set their own preferred temperatures, while Rear under seat ducts and Rear console climate control ducts ensure that those in the back remain comfortable as well. For added utility, the interior includes a 1 interior 120V AC power outlet and 3 12V power outlets, perfect for powering laptops or charging specialized equipment.

Cargo versatility is a hallmark of the Escape. The 60-40 folding rear seats allow you to expand the cargo area significantly, making it easy to transport larger items from the home improvement store or sports equipment for a weekend at the fields in Marion, AR. Accessing the rear is effortless thanks to the Power liftgate and Proximity cargo area access release, which allows you to open the hatch even when your hands are full. Inside, you will find a Carpet cargo area floor, Cargo tie downs, and Cargo area concealed storage under the floor to keep your valuables out of sight.

Comprehensive Safety and Driver Awareness

Safety is a paramount concern for any crossover buyer, and the 2017 Ford Escape Titanium is engineered with a comprehensive suite of protective features. The vehicle is built with Fully galvanized steel body panels with side impact beams and a sophisticated 7 airbags system. This includes Dual front impact airbags, Dual front side impact airbags, Safety Canopy System curtain first and second-row overhead airbags, and a Driver side knee airbag. This multi-layered approach to occupant protection provides peace of mind for you and your family on every trip.

To help prevent accidents before they occur, the Escape is equipped with several advanced driver assistance technologies. The Blind spot warning system monitors your flanks and alerts you to vehicles you might not see, while the Cross-Traffic Alert is invaluable when backing out of tight parking spaces at a busy shopping center. The Back-Up Camera and Rear parking sensors work together to make maneuvering in reverse simpler and safer. Additionally, the AdvanceTrac w/Roll Stability Control and Traction control systems help maintain stability and grip in varying road conditions, from summer rainstorms to winter's occasional light snow.

For those with younger drivers in the household, the MyKey restricted driving mode/alerts allow you to set limits on vehicle speed and audio volume, encouraging safer driving habits. The braking system is equally robust, featuring 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with 4-wheel antilock (ABS) and Brake assist. The Torque Vectoring Control brake actuated limited slip differential further enhances handling by subtly applying braking force to the inner wheels during cornering, helping the Escape feel planted and responsive through every turn.

Bold Exterior Styling and Sophisticated Accents

The exterior of this Escape Titanium is finished in a striking Shadow Black non-metallic paint, a color that emphasizes the vehicle's sleek lines and athletic stance. This particular model features the Titanium Sport Appearance Package, which adds a layer of aggressive, modern styling. This includes 19 inch Ebony Black Prem Painted Alum Wheels, Gloss Black-Painted Sideview Mirror Caps, and Gloss Black-Painted Upper Grille Bars & Plinth. The Black Roof-Rack Side Rails and Front & Rear Gloss-Black Painted Skid Plates further distinguish this Escape from the standard crowd.

Lighting is both a functional and aesthetic highlight of the exterior design. The Halogen Projector Headlamps w/Black Bezel provide excellent illumination, complemented by LED daytime running lights and Front fog lights for improved visibility in adverse weather. At the rear, the LED Tail Lamps w/Black Bezel offer a crisp, modern signature. The Heated door mirrors include Turn signal indicator mirrors, making your intentions clear to other drivers while also clearing away frost or fog automatically.

Practical design elements are found throughout the exterior. The Deep tinted windows provide privacy and help keep the cabin cool during the hot Southern summers. The Easy Fuel capless fuel filler makes trips to the gas station cleaner and faster, while the Compact spare tire is tucked neatly away under the cargo floor for emergencies. With its Chrome side window trim and Stainless steel quasi-dual exhaust with chrome tailpipe finisher, the Escape Titanium presents a polished image that perfectly fits the suburban lifestyle of the Mid-South.
