4 Features You'll Love in 2014 Ford Vehicles

WESTLAND, Mich. - Ford is known for constantly evolving, as it works to continually develop and improve upon the features that appear in Ford vehicles. 2013 saw the introduction of MyFord Touch and various other technology, and now it's time for the 2014 models to drive in the spotlight. Although there is a variety of technology in the 2014 models, here are 4 features we love in 2014 Ford vehicles.

1. Multicontour front seats with ActiveMotion. This system is amazing for a long drive, as it helps reduce muscle-fatigue in your legs and lower back. The seats use a rolling-pattern massage which givesyour legs and lower back some relief. You can also customize the seven air chambers in the seat back and bottom to make your seat as comfortable as possible. Currently this feature is found on the 2014 Ford Taurus.

2. Torque Vectoring Control. This is a great feature designed with your drive in mind. The Torque Vectoring Control adjusts the speed between your front wheels, allowing your vehicle to hug the road and accelerate through a corner. This enhances cornering agility and reduces understeer (when a car steers less than the amount commanded by the driver). You'll find this feature on the 2014 Ford Taurus, 2014 Ford Focus, 2014 Ford Escape and the 2014 Ford C-Max.

3. Hands-Free Lift-gate. When you have your hands full, it can be a real pain trying to get your trunk open. That's why this feature is such a great one to have! If you have your Intelligent Access key on you, all you have to do is kick your foot under the bumper and the lift-gate will open. This convenient feature is offered with the 2014 Ford Escape, and the current 2013 Ford C-Max.

4. Active Grille Shutters. This feature is designed to reduce drag on your vehicle when air travels through your radiator which can reduce the fuel efficiency of your vehicle. With the Active Grille Shutters feature, your vehicle keeps the shutters closed until the engine needs cooling. These shutters can be found on the 2014 Ford Escape, the 2014 Ford Focus, and the 2014 Ford Taurus.

These 4 features and more can be found in 2014 Ford vehicles, ensuring that Ford vehicles continue to offer you the best ride possible.

Evolution of the Liftgate

WESTLAND, Mich.- One of the latest impressive features to hit ford vehicles is the hands-free liftgate which opens and closes with just a gentle kicking motion under the bumper, no need to fumble with your key. The 2013 Ford Escape was the first in its segment to offer the motion-sensing power liftgate which can be adjusted manually to meet specific customer needs. This new feature is just one more example of how far Ford vehicles have come over the years which made us think about the Evolution of the Ford Motor Company Liftgate.

Let's first go back to 1929 when the Ford Model A featured the first flip-down tailgate. The Model A flip-down tailgate paved the way for future tailgate innovation, and today we're familiar with the flip-down style on the Ford F-150! Almost 25 years later, we got our first taste of convenience with the push-button option. The 1952 Ford Country Squire station wagon liftgate opened in the back with just the push of a button.

 As the evolution of the lifgate began to progress more quickly, Ford Motor Company brought a little bit of magic to the vehicle rear with the 1966 Ford Fairlane and Falcon. The Ford Fairlane and Falcon wagon liftgate's both swung open and folded down. It was like magic! The swing open liftgate made its way to the iconic Ford Bronco which featured a rear-mounted spare tire that swung open to allow you to open the tailgate.

The two-part liftgate remained present on Ford SUVs like the Escape which featured liftgate in addition to a window hatch that allowed access to the rear via the back window. When we take a look at today's liftgate, the hands-free liftgate makes access easier than ever before! Come check out our New Ford Cars to experience the new Ford liftgate, or check out our Certified Pre-Owned Cars For Sale if you prefer an earlier liftgate style!
