Alice Brooks is the co-founder of Roominate, which is a line of children’s toys aimed at inspiring young girls to find joy in and embrace science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), so naturally she is a pretty busy person. When she’s in the 2017 Ford Escape, Alice takes advantage of the Escape’s available SYNC® 3 system to stay connected and available Auto Start-Stop technology to reduce her carbon footprint, just two of the awesome features available on the 2017 Escape. Check out the video, then come see us at Ford of Smithtown for the real deal.
As you saw above, SYNC® 3 allows you to make and take hands-free phone calls, so you can stay connected to your world, even when you’re on the move. Another innovative technology you’ll find on the 2017 Ford Escape is the Auto Start-Stop Technology, available with the 1.5-liter and 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engines. As Alice says, the system doesn’t change the way she drives, but it reduces her carbon footprint anyway. It does this by automatically shutting off your engine when your car comes to a complete stop, then when you press on the gas pedal again, the engine starts right up and you’re off.
There’s so much innovation and technology available on the 2017 Ford Escape, it’s hard to know where to start. Maybe the best place to begin is here, in our showroom, which is located on 440 East Jericho Turnpike, Saint James, NY. If the video above has grabbed your attention, bring us your pressing questions and schedule a test drive in the 2017 Escape so you can see for yourself how it feels to drive one of the most innovative Ford models yet.
