When your hands are full—whether it’s with groceries, hockey gear, or luggage—the last thing you want to do is fumble for keys or handles. That’s why the Ford Escape, available now at Northstar Ford Calgary, comes equipped with an incredibly practical feature: the hands-free, foot-activated power liftgate.
This smart feature is designed with real life in mind. As long as you have the key fob with you, simply wave your foot under the rear bumper and the liftgate will automatically open or close—no need to set anything down. Whether you’re loading up after a Costco run or packing the SUV for a weekend getaway in the Rockies, this feature makes life that much easier.
The liftgate also offers customizable height settings, which is especially useful in Calgary parkades or low-clearance garages. You can program the liftgate to stop at the height that works best for you, preventing damage or inconvenience.
It’s paired with a spacious cargo area that adapts to your needs. With the 60/40 split-folding rear seats, the Escape transforms from passenger-ready to gear-hauler in seconds. Add the available sliding second-row seats, and you get even more flexibility to balance legroom and storage.
Whether you’re navigating busy weekday errands or heading out for a weekend adventure, the Ford Escape’s hands-free liftgate brings modern convenience to your everyday routine.
Visit Northstar Ford Calgary today to experience the Escape in person and see how small touches—like a smart liftgate—can make a big difference.
