For a long time, Ford 7 passenger SUVs have been maligned by the general public, and even among the car industry. They have been blasted as “gas guzzlers,” marked as “mom vans,” and even been called unreliable because of the fact that they have not been made by non-American manufacturers. The truth is that there are many Ford SUVs that are great cars to have, whether you have kids or not. Here are some of the new Ford SUVs that have been changing the way that people have been viewing cars from this American brand.
2012 Ford Escape Hybrid
When it comes to the reputation that Ford SUV’s have, fuel economy is normally not one of the better things that people ever mention about it, but with the 2012 Ford Escape, this will not be the case. This is because the brand new Ford Escape has received the honor of having one of the very best fuel economies in the field of SUVs. This modestly priced hybrid SUV comes with a remote start system, XM radio, and has a spacious interior that can seat you and four of your friends with ease. At a very reasonable $30,000 starting MSRP, this is one of the few Ford SUVs that can impress both the environmentally astute, as well as those who just adore a beautiful car. Best of all, it doesn’t look like a “mom van” at all!
2013 Ford Explorer
If you are looking for the newest Ford SUV’s that can seemingly double as a sleek sports car, the new 2012 Ford Explorer is your car of choice! Its powerful V6 engine gives your ride the pep it needs in order to feel like a race car, while the gas economy manages to stay well over 20 miles per hour on both city streets and highways. Along with a sports car-like engine, the newest Ford Explorer also comes with the same style of sleek exterior design you would expect with a much more expensive SUV. Capable of seating up to 7, the Ford Explorer combines the best of sporty with functionality to create a new level of opulence that people of all walks of life can enjoy.
2013 Ford Edge
One of the new trends that you can see with Ford SUV’s is that each model is now beginning to be beautiful in its own way; things are not as cookie-cutter as they once were. The 2012 Ford Edge has a couple of very important perks that make it appealing to everyone from teens to grandparents. The first thing that people notice is that the Ford Edge really doesn’t look like an SUV in the typical sense of the word – it looks edgier. The 2012 Ford Edge is also highly customizable when compared to older Ford SUVs, and you can even order your new Edge with chrome tires. A respectable gas mileage average of 24 miles per gallon makes this gas-powered car a boon to those who need the spacious luxury that an SUV offers, but don’t want to have the “SUV” tag associated with them.
These three models are some of the most admirable engineering feats that Ford has managed to come out with, and the fact is that this SUV manufacturer will definitely be getting a new reputation thanks to these sleek new designs. Who knows – many having one of the many Ford 7 passenger SUVs currently waiting on dealership lots will be a status symbol in a couple of years!
