The new 2020 lineup of Ford SUVs is versatile, capable and brimming with convenience. With multiple redesigns and a slew of new tech features, Ford is currently making some of the most progressive SUVs on the market. While these vehicles can definitely benefit those of all ages, seniors in particular are taking a shine to them. And of course they are! Today's seniors are more active than previous generations, and they need vehicles that suit their varied lifestyles.The new Ford SUVs are great for both travel and everyday errands, and there are multiple models to choose from with their own sets of unique features. Popular Ford SUVs include the new Ford Escape, Ford Edge, Ford Explorer, and Ford Bronco currently in their lineup. There's something here for everyone! For seniors who are debating whether or not a new Ford SUV is the right vehicle for them, here are some useful questions and answers.
Ford aimed to transform 75 percent of its fleet by 2020, and the SUVs were the main objective. Both the Escape and the Explorer were completely redesigned with the latest technology and new bodies, and the Ford Bronco returns to the lineup for the first time in years!
There are more of these options to choose from than ever before from Ford. Their SUV lineup now includes the Explorer Limited Hybrid, which comes with an EPA-estimated range of more than 500 miles between gas fill-ups (note that this will vary depending on use). The 2020 Escape will also soon be offered in a hybrid edition.
Right now the data says that the Explorer Limited Hybrid offers the best gas mileage, but once the lineup is fully rolled out this is subject to change (the upcoming Escape Hybrid will be lighter and will likely offer better mileage).
The latest Ford SUVs come with great new additions like forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking and lane keep assist. They also come with 24/7 Roadside Assistance and Ford's Connect and Control program (linked to a phone app).
Different models can hold different amounts of people. On the lower end is the Ford EcoSport and Ford Escape, which can both hold up to five people. The Ford Explorer can meanwhile hold up to six people comfortably, though the highest trim models can hold up to seven total. Seats also come with powerfolding to allow for easy cargo space when extra seats are not needed.
The 2020 SUV lineup is among the most comfortable yet from Ford! In each vehicle there are awesome new comfort features like a whole new digital instrument panel, entertainment LCD touch screen with satellite radio and phone connectivity, adaptive multi-contoured seats that move to fit you and spacious interiors.
Yes! At the top of the line when it comes to the latest parking and driver-friendly technologies, the new 2020 SUV lineup is offered to come equipped with Available Active Park Assist 2.0. Making parallel parking easy everywhere, this program uses sensors to find the appropriate space to park and does all the work while the driver just pushes a button. It's simple and highly safe.
In addition to Ford's highly flexible Red Carpet Lease program, Ford SUVs are also available under Ford's Flex Buy program. This unique program allows drivers to make lower payments for the first few years to keep the lineup more affordable. Incentives vary by location and are not yet available for the 2020 lineup. More will be known by the end of 2019.
