Combat the Polar Vortex in a 2017 Ford Escape

WESTLAND, Mich.––The winter of 2013-14 was a rough one, if you remember. The bitter cold temperatures and heavy snow made a large majority of us consider moving to a southern state for warmth, but we're still here! Michigan is a great state that happens to experience a phenomenon called the Polar Vortex. Thanks to that rough winter season, Ford set out to make winter, and the cold weather in general, easier to deal with for drivers. You can combat the polar vortex in a 2017 Ford Escape, equipped with the cold weather features.

The 2017 Ford Escape is a great crossover, and overall versatile vehicle. While the Edge and Explorer are also great options (see our Ford crossover comparison), the 2017 Escape really nails it with features, specifically the cold weather features including:

• Heated Seats
• Heated Steering Wheel
• Heated Side Mirrors
• All-Weather Floor Mats 
• Windshield Wiper De-Icer 
• Remote Start from Smartphone through SYNC
• Remote Start Heated Features

Looking at the feature list you might think your current vehicle has some of these features, but not to the scale the 2017 Ford escape does. The windshield wiper de-icer features can defrost a windshield with light snow and ice in under 10 minutes in -18 degrees fahrenheit! Not to mention, you can activate these features from a warm interior from your phone so your Escape is warm and toasty by the time you get to it. 

Ford's Extreme Climate Team are the people to thank for these awesome features that'll keep you warm through whatever weather Michigan brings us! We'd be happy to tell you all about even more cool features in the 2017 Escape that'll make you one happy driver year-round.
