Ford offers utility vehicles to suit a variety of needs and preferences, with compelling options across the industry's most popular segments. You can find the perfect Ford SUV for your New Jersey lifestyle at Nielsen Ford of Sussex. But which one is right for you? Here's a quick rundown of the highlights of each model.
While it's not quite at the level of its larger Bronco sibling, the Ford Bronco Sport is still impressive beyond the asphalt. It has standard 4WD and five G.O.A.T. Modes™ to Go Over Any Terrain. The top-tier Badlands elevates that capability with a 250-horsepower turbo-four engine, a specialized twin-clutch 4WD system, off-road-tuned suspension, Ford Trail Control, and more.
Despite its rugged character, the Bronco Sport is a great daily driver, thanks to its comfortable cabin, flexible cargo space, and standard features like an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Co-Pilot360™ driver aids.
Are you shopping for something roomier and more on-road-focused for your Newton travels? The Ford Escape is slightly larger than the Bronco Sport, resulting in more passenger and cargo accommodations. A sliding second row lets you expand rear legroom or increase cargo capacity (33.5 - 37.5 cubic feet). The Escape has standard Co-Pilot360™ and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. It also offers desirable options like a fully digital instrument panel, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Powertrain options include a standard 1.5-liter EcoBoost® turbo-three (180 horsepower), a 2.0-liter EcoBoost® turbo-four (250 hp), and a fuel-efficient 2.5-liter hybrid (191 hp). The standalone Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid (210 hp) is capable of an EPA-estimated 37 miles of electric-only range, letting you experience EV driving without switching to 100% battery power.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a fully electric crossover, available in RWD or AWD with a 72-kWh or 91-kWh battery. Depending on the configuration, it delivers 266 to 480 horsepower and 224 to 312 miles of EPA-estimated range. It's also satisfying to drive, thanks to surprisingly sharp handling and a smooth ride.
The Mustang Mach-E is generously equipped with features like a panoramic roof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 15.5-inch SYNC® 4 touchscreen, and a wireless charging pad. It also comes standard with Co-Pilot360™ driver aids, Adaptive Cruise Control, a 360-degree camera system, and Ford Blue Cruise hands-free driving capability (subscription-based).
If you want something larger than a compact crossover but don't need a third row, check out the Ford Edge. This midsize two-row crossover offers ample passenger space, expansive cargo capacity, and standard all-wheel drive. Additionally, all models include dual-zone automatic climate control, a 12-inch SYNC® 4 touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The Ford Performance-tuned Edge ST upgrades to a 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V-6 (335 hp, 380 lb-ft), sport-tuned suspension, and unique styling.
The Explorer is Ford's longest-running SUV - a three-row midsize crossover with spacious accommodations, confident capability, and abundant practicality. Standard features include three-zone automatic climate control, a power liftgate, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Co-Pilot360™ safety technologies.
The 2.3-liter EcoBoost® Explorer (300 horsepower) is among the segment's quickest base models, while the Timberline trim includes necessary equipment for off-road adventures. ST, King Ranch, and Platinum trims dial up the performance with a 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V-6 (400 horsepower).
Sparta shoppers seeking maximum accommodations and utility can look to the Ford Expedition. This full-size SUV offers a cavernous cabin with ample passenger space, modern design details, and seating arrangements for five, seven, or eight passengers. It can also be luxuriously configured with options like heated/ventilated/massaging front seats, premium leather, active noise control, and Bang & Olufsen audio.
A standard 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 (375 hp, 470 lb-ft) enables a max tow rating of 9,300 pounds, while the Timberline trim is equipped for terrain-roaming adventure. Higher tiers get an upgraded version of this engine with 400 or 440 horsepower, depending on the configuration.
The Ford Bronco is a legendary trail conquer with potent powertrain options, two advanced 4WD systems, up to eight G.O.A.T. modes, and four levels of High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS).
Beyond its rugged capability, the Ford Bronco is excellent for daily use, offering comfortable accommodations, flexible storage, confident handling, and a smooth ride. It also provides myriad desirable amenities and technologies. Car and Driver recognized the Ford Bronco's superb well-roundedness with back-to-back "10Best" awards (2022, 2023).
