Ford has a well-deserved reputation for high-quality vehicles that offer budget-friendly value. If you want to purchase a new car without spending too much, check out these three affordable new Ford models.
Ford Escape
Completely redesigned for the 2020 model year, the Ford Escape is a compact SUV named the Best New Car for Teens by U.S. News and World Report for its exceptional reliability and safety scores. While Escape has an average MSRP compared to similar vehicles, it offers an incredible value with the latest and greatest equipment and its fun-to-drive spirit.
You’ll appreciate the expansive cargo space and the high-tech available gear like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hot spot, satellite radio, and an 8-inch infotainment touch screen. Choose from two impressive turbocharged engines as well as an available hybrid model. The Escape gets better gas mileage than most of its competitors, clocking in at 27 city/33 highway mpg for the base model.
The Escape has a five-star crash-test score from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration and is packed with standard driver assistance tech. Every trim comes with a rearview camera, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, driver drowsiness monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, curve control, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring. The 2021 Ford Escape, which has limited updates from the 2021 model, has a starting MSRP of $26,130.
Ford Ranger
After returning to the market in 2019 after an eight-year hiatus, the Ford Ranger has landed at the top of the compact pickup competition, thanks to its impressive towing and hauling capabilities, off-roading prowess, and class-leading gas mileage. The turbocharged engine, paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission, produces 270 horses and 310 pound-feet of torque with your choice of rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
Select either a crew cab model with a 5-foot bed or an extended cab model with a 6-foot bed. You can upgrade either with an 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system, premium auto, HD and satellite radio, USB ports, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Each trim also has automatic emergency braking, forward collision, and a rearview camera along with Ford MyKey system. The 2021 Ford Ranger carries over most features from 2020 but adds an optional Tremor off-roading package, with a starting MSRP of $24,820.
Ford Fusion
If you’re looking for a classic midsize sedan with a cushy interior and athletic handling, look no further. The Ford Fusion gets high marks from drivers and industry experts alike for its expansive cabin and user-friendly tech features. Depending on your needs, you can choose from three different engines for the Fusion offering up to 245 horsepower. An outstanding predicted reliability rating of 4 out of 5 from J.D. Power and Associates means the Fusion can stand up to your busy lifestyle for years to come.
Every Fusion model comes equipped with the Ford CoPilot360 system, which includes forward automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keep assist. The 2020 Ford Fusion has a starting MSRP of $23,170. For 2021, Ford will replace this model with the new Fusion Active.
