Gear Up For Next Year
We had a blast this past Saturday, but if you missed it, don’t worry! We hope to see you next year!
It’s no secret that Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Humble‘s favorite sports coupe is the Ford Mustang. That’s why it comes as no surprise to learn that the Mustang claims the title, “Best-Selling Sports Coupe in the World” for 2018! With 113,066 cars sold last year, the Mustang secured the title for the fourth year in a row.
Tech Talk
People love the Mustang for a number of reasons, such as the smart technology that includes the B&O™ Sound Premium System and the FordPass,™ Ford’s one-stop app that allows users to lock, unlock, and start your car remotely,* find parking ahead of time, and compare fuel prices at various stations along your route. The Mustang also features the new SYNC® 3, now pairing you with Alexa through the SYNC 3 AppLink.®** SYNC 3 and AppLink now allow you access to Voice Navigation, Traffic Information, over 50,000 Skills, and more, as well as bringing you Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
In addition to the smart technology, Ford is proud to have the Ford Safe and Smart™ Package available in the Mustang. This package includes:

Pre-Collision assist with Pedestrian Detection
Lane-Keeping System
Adaptive cruise control
Automatic emergency braking
Automatic high beams
Forward collision warning with brake support
Rain-sensing wipers
The Best-Selling Numbers
The Mustang’s global share increased half a point in 2018 from 2017, putting the Mustang at 15.4% global market share. This growth can be attributed in part to the all-new, hot-selling Mustang Bullitt.

“We broke the mold when Ford launched the Mustang 55 years ago… Nothing says freedom, the wind in your hair and the joy of driving like Mustang; it’s an icon. The roar of its V8 on a spring day, there’s nothing better. No wonder it’s the most popular sports coupe in the world.”
– Jim Farley, Ford president, global markets
Global sales data are based on IHS Markit 2018 total new vehicle registrations for all sports car segments. U.S. sales are based on 2018 industry reported sales.

Our team here at Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Humble is excited to announce the reveal of the all-new 2020 Ford Escape. Ford is reinventing the model that helped drive the popularity of the segment with the SUV’s best-ever performance, flexibility and smart new technology. So, you ready to “escape” to a better SUV?
The Ford Escape, which coincidentally debuted the world’s first hybrid SUV in 2005, brings back two hybrid choices for 2020:
standard hybrid
plug-in hybrid
“This all-new Escape brings a sleeker, sportier design with the capability to take you on just about any of your life’s adventures,” said Kumar Galhotra, Ford’s president, North America. “With our class-leading hybrid powertrains, customers will spend less time at the gas station and more time on the road.”
Ford Escape Design
The all-new Escape is the most aerodynamic to date. Its sloped roofline, optimized liftgate spoiler and strake, and efficient underbody give it a refreshingly updated and futuristic look. Meanwhile, it loses more than 200 pounds from the current model, due in part to the extensive use of high-strength, lightweight steel.
To create a sportier look for the all-new Escape, designers turned to some of the most high-profile sports cars in the Ford showroom. The shield-shaped trapezoidal grille is inspired by the sixth-generation Mustang, while the lower front end borrows from Ford GT. Compared to the current model, the all-new Escape stands lower, wider and longer.
Ford Escape Power
Every model in the lineup, whether powered by one of two EcoBoost® engines or the all-new hybrid powertrains, targets an EPA-estimated range of at least 400 miles per tank.** The standard hybrid with front-wheel drive targets best-in-class EPA-estimated range of more than 550 miles.*
Best-performing Escape ever
New powertrains and transmission systems, a reduction in weight, improved aerodynamics and updated suspension system all contribute to one undeniable fact: this is the best-performing, most fun-to-drive Escape ever.
Gas engine-powered models as well as the standard hybrid are available with all-wheel drive. EcoBoost-equipped models get a new quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth, responsive shifting, while every Escape receives an all-new suspension and improved isolation with a new isolated rear subframe.
“This new vehicle performs like no other Escape before,” said Jim Hughes, Escape chief program engineer. “It’s quick, it’s responsive and, in staying true to the standard set by three generations of Escapes before it, it’s a heck of a lot of fun to drive.”
The new 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, available on Titanium, is projected to produce 250 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque using 93 octane fuel, while turning in a 0-60 mph time up to 10 percent faster than the outgoing Escape 2.0-liter. When properly configured, it is rated to tow 3,500 pounds.***
The all-new 1.5-liter EcoBoost, standard on S, SE and SEL, is projected to produce 180 horsepower and 177 lb.-ft. of torque using 93 octane fuel. When properly configured, it is rated to tow 2,000 pounds.*** To help conserve fuel, the 1.5-liter EcoBoost debuts cylinder deactivation, a Ford first for North America, which senses when one cylinder isn’t needed and shuts it down automatically. The system can activate or deactivate a cylinder in 14 milliseconds to maintain a smooth ride.
SE Sport and Titanium models come standard with Ford’s innovative fourth-generation hybrid propulsion system, which includes an all-new 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle hybrid engine and electronic continuously variable transmission. The front-wheel-drive hybrid model is projected to produce a combined system horsepower of 198, and a top speed of 85 mph in electric-only mode.
The plug-in hybrid variant, available on every trim level except S and SE Sport, projects a best-in-class EPA-estimated range of at least 30 miles in electric-only mode. Escape Plug-In Hybrid has a Level 1 / Level 2 AC charging port. Using a 110-volt Level 1 charge, the estimated time to fully charge the battery is 10 to 11 hours. Using a 240-volt Level 2 charge, charge time drops to roughly 3.5 hours.
Hybrid models feature four EV modes that allow customers to select the settings most suitable for their individual needs. This means:
In Auto EV mode, the vehicle decides whether to run on gas or electric power
In EV Now mode, drivers can operate on all-electric driving
In EV Later mode, drivers can switch to full gas-powered driving to conserve electric miles for later
In all-new EV Charge mode, drivers can continue to charge the battery while driving and generate electric-only miles to use later
So, you excited yet? Well, our team will continue the Escape reveal with its tech section up next. If you’re an auto-tech junkie, you’re going to fall in love with with what the all-new Escape has to offer. In the meantime, checkout the Escape Hybrid B-roll!
*Actual range will vary. Final EPA-estimated ratings available later in the 2019 calendar year. Class is Small Utility over 4480 mm length based on Ford Segmentation.
**Actual range will vary. Model designations are based on powertrain, drivetrain, and trim level combinations. Final EPA-estimated ratings available later in the 2019 calendar year.
***Horsepower, torque, payload, towing and EPA Estimated Fuel Economy Ratings are independent attributes and may not be achieved simultaneously.
