Ford Escape gets ANCAP

The Ford Escape has been awarded a 5 star ANCAP safety rating. AA Motoring Services General Manager Stella Stocks says the Escape is a well-rounded car for everyday use and comes in at an affordable price point in the market. “It’s done exceptionally well in the overall crash tests, with solid cabin integrity and good pedestrian protection, which means in terms of safety it stands up well,” says Stocks. The medium SUV comes equipped with a good range of safety features, including Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Autonomous Emergency Braking at city speeds, which helps to prevent nose to tails, Attention Assist for when drivers get fatigued and Trailer Stability Control. ANCAP is supported by all Australian motoring clubs, the New Zealand Automobile Association, the Australian Government, the New Zealand Government, Australian state and territory governments, the Victorian Transport Accident Commission, NRMA Insurance and the FIA Foundation.
