The automotive industry is predicting a permanent trend toward trucks, SUVs, and CUVs.
Lifestyle and Practicality
There’s a reason SUVs and CUVs were deemed “an instrument of athleisure” by
Bloomberg. With nearly half of the U.S. population being involved in consistent
outdoor endeavors, families and independent Millennial and Gen Xers are making
health their lifestyle, not just a hobby, which means they need their equipment
for adventure on hand. SUVs and CUVs have the ground clearance for off-road riding
and can carry (or tow) your equipment on the weekends—from paddle boards to
mountain bikes—and still offer the smooth, on-road ride you desire from a
compact. There are no limitations with a SUV or CUV; these capable vehicles are
built to travel with ease in the city, ride the rugged roads in the mountains,
and offer competitive commuter MPG and comfort.
Performance and Fuel Economy
…is no longer just for sports cars and compact
machines. Today’s SUVs and CUVs offer up to the same horsepower as your
favorite two-door style stunner, and fall within the desired MPG range for
eco-conscious buyers. Within Ford’s lineup, drivers have the option of vehicles
that feature Auto Start-Stop Technology for fuel preservation, turbocharged
EcoBoost engines with horsepower options, and EcoBoost Class II Trailer Tow
Package for a tow rating up to 3,500 lbs. The three-engine options allow you to
choose your desired balance between performance and efficiency.
Safety and Comfort
There’s no doubt that being on the road amid a
sea of vehicles can be stressful. SUVs and CUVs ease the concern for safety and
provide a luxuriously comfortable interior and design to support short commutes
and long adventures. Sit higher to see better, feel safe in a structured
mid-size design, and do it in style. On the road and in crashes, SUVs are
proven to provide a higher survival rate. Ford implements features such as AdvanceTrac
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) for assisted control and traction, Blind
Spot Information System and cross-traffic alert, and forward collision brake
support to cover your safety bases at all times. In addition, Ford’s SUV and CUV
lineup tests well on both front and side crash ratings, and builds panel roofs
to protect in the event of a roll over. SUVs and CUVs naturally weigh more than
compact or sedan vehicles, automatically placing you on a safer scale while
navigating the road.
