For years, compact cars have been the go-to for fuel efficiency and affordability, but what if you could get those same benefits without feeling like you're crammed into a sardine can? That's exactly what the Ford Escape and Mustang Mach-E bring to the table. These small-but-mighty SUVs and crossovers deliver compact car agility with big-time versatility, offering extra cargo room, available AWD, and tech that makes NJ driving slightly less stressful (we said "slightly" - it's still New Jersey). Consider the Escape and Mach-E as alternatives to the vehicles highlighted in Nielsen Editorial's piece on the Best-Selling Compact Cars in NJ.
The Ford Escape is for drivers who want practicality without sacrificing efficiency - or their sanity at the pump. With multiple powertrain options, including an available hybrid, the Escape achieves up to 40 MPG combined, meaning you'll spend less time refueling and more time questioning why you took Route 1 at rush hour. Unlike a typical compact car, it actually has room for passengers and groceries - so you're not forced to pick one. And with available AWD, it's ready for winter, summer storms, and the occasional surprise construction detour that wasn't there yesterday.
If you're ready to say "goodbye" to gas stations entirely, the Mustang Mach-E takes everything you love about a compact car and electrifies it. With up to 312 miles of range, you can run errands, commute, and take a weekend trip to Cape May without ever stopping for gas. And thanks to instant acceleration and available eAWD, the Mach-E makes highway merges less terrifying and winter driving way easier.
If you love the efficiency of a compact car but need more space, capability, and cutting-edge tech, the Ford Escape and Mustang Mach-E are perfect alternatives. Visit our Ford dealership in New Jersey to take one for a spin - you might never look at a compact sedan the same way again.
