Sames Bastrop Ford - The Advantages of the Ford Co-Pilot360™ System in Your Daily Drive—Serving Austin, TX
One of the standout features available across the 2025 Ford Escape® lineup is the advanced Ford Co-Pilot360™ system, a suite of cutting-edge driver-assist technologies designed to keep you safer and more confident whether you’re maneuvering downtown Austin or cruising on your weekend escape. Sames Bastrop Ford, serving Austin, San Marcos, and Pflugerville, recognizes that local drivers often juggle congested highways, unpredictable weather, and busy intersections—situations where Ford Co-Pilot360™ truly shines. This system incorporates key innovations like Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®), Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, all working behind the scenes to help prevent accidents and reduce the stress of daily commutes.
What distinguishes Ford Co-Pilot360™ in the 2025 Escape® is not only its breadth of protection, but also its seamless integration with other new vehicle technologies like the 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment center and wireless smartphone compatibility. Imagine navigating Austin’s fast-changing traffic patterns: BLIS® can alert you to vehicles hiding in your blind zones, while the Lane-Keeping System gently guides you back if you taper out of your lane unintentionally. Pre-Collision Assist isn’t just a bonus for new drivers—it’s critical peace of mind for families, with sensors that can detect vehicles and pedestrians in your path, applying the brakes more quickly than most human reaction times. The added intelligence of Adaptive Cruise Control further simplifies highway touring toward San Marcos or Pflugerville, adjusting speed on the fly to maintain safe distances and reduce fatigue on longer journeys.
Of course, the advantages of Co-Pilot360™ go beyond moment-to-moment convenience—they support the whole ownership experience. Whether considering leasing or financing, Ford’s focus on safety can lower insurance costs, boost resale confidence, and future-proof your SUV against evolving highway standards. Many who choose to lease cite the benefit of always driving a vehicle with up-to-date safety tech, while those who purchase enjoy ongoing peace of mind and the ability to upgrade as options evolve. This is particularly useful in growing communities around Austin and Bastrop where roadway scenarios shift as fast as the region develops.
Here are some of the most prominent Ford Co-Pilot360™ features on the 2025 Escape®:
