2017 Ford Escape Titanium

The 2017 Ford Escape Titanium Sport Utility 4D stands as a major high-water mark in the compact premium crossover market, anchoring the highly anticipated mid-cycle refresh of the vehicle's celebrated third-generation platform. Built on a rigid, Euro-engineered high-strength steel unibody chassis, this five-passenger vehicle features a sharpened, wind-tunnel-carved silhouette that delivers car-like handling agility and high structural composure. The top-tier Titanium trim level serves as the absolute luxury flagship of the Escape hierarchy, packaging first-class cabin amenities, cutting-edge driver conveniences, and an upgraded turbocharged powertrain straight from the factory. It functions beautifully as a quiet, prestigious mobile office during the demanding corporate workweek, effortlessly smoothing out tight urban grids and navigating long-distance interstate routes with premium poise.
Under the sculpted, aerodynamic hood sits the absolute crown jewel of Ford's high-efficiency engine family: a highly responsive, heavily revised 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline 4-cylinder Turbocharged engine featuring a twin-scroll turbocharger, gasoline direct injection, and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). This high-output mechanical heart hammers out a fierce 245 horsepower at 5,500 RPM and a robust, low-end 275 lb-ft of torque available at 3,000 RPM. This immediate turbocharged muscle is managed by a smooth-shifting 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission equipped with steering-wheel-mounted manual paddle shifters. Power is routed to the pavement via an agile front-wheel-drive layout or Ford’s available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, which continuously monitors road speed and throttle inputs to proactively distribute torque before wheel slip can occur, ensuring mechanical stability through sudden heavy rainstorms or icy winter roads.
The driving experience is heavily characterized by its European handling precision, flat cornering posture, and unmatched structural tracking stability under high-speed maneuvers, courtesy of a performance-tuned four-wheel independent suspension system utilizing front MacPherson struts and an independent multi-link setup in the rear, bolstered by thick stabilizer bars and Torque Vectoring Control. On the exterior, the 2017 Escape Titanium executes a stunning styling triumph of pure athletic functionality and aggressive road presence, featuring a redesigned front fascia with a prominent hexagonal grille layout, functional integrated fog lights, and striking automatic halogen projector headlamps with LED signature lighting. Elegant body contours feature polished silver roof rack side rails, deep-tinted rear sun-screening privacy glass, dual chrome exhaust tips, a body-color rear spoiler, and aerodynamic power-adjustable heated side mirrors with integrated puddle lamps and turn signals. The premium stance rolls proudly on striking 18-inch sparkle silver-painted aluminum wheels or available 19-inch machined aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in performance all-season tires that perfectly complement its muscular arches.
Inside, the driver-centric cockpit completely shuns basic, high-maintenance textures, welcoming up to five adult occupants into an opulent, ultra-durable luxury sanctuary lined with hand-tailored premium finishes, soft-touch technical grains, and cutting-edge command tech. The center dashboard layout is dominated by an 8-inch high-resolution color touchscreen display monitor driven by the lightning-fast, intuitive SYNC 3 infotainment system. Elite digital connectivity is driven by standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, hands-free voice commands, high-speed Bluetooth wireless multi-device streaming, dual smart-charging USB ports, a customizable digital driver information cluster display screen, and a premium 10-speaker Sony Audio System with a factory-installed subwoofer meticulously engineered for crystalline acoustic playback.
