For students, May is linked with graduation. Graduation is a time to which students look forward for their entire academic careers. It’s a time for new beginnings, for taking on the world and putting into practice that for which you’ve spent most of your life preparing. It’s a time for celebration, to recognize the accomplishments of those we hold dear. It’s also a time at which many parents and family members decide to gift their graduating child a new vehicle to carry them into the next chapter of their life. At Heartland Ford, we want to draw your attention to three vehicles which we believe would be great choices for recent graduates -- focusing on affordability, safety and fuel efficiency.
2021 Ford Escape
The 2021 Ford Escape offers recent graduates the best of both worlds. It’s an SUV, so it provides plenty of space to carry friends or the cargo which remains in the trunk of a young person’s car for months at a time. It has more legroom and cargo space than most SUVs in its class. Yet, it’s a compact SUV, meaning it provides good gas mileage and a smaller, safer and more manageable frame. The 2021 Escape gets 34 miles per gallon on the highway. The Escape offers great safety features, interior technology and even AWD to help traction in unpredictable road conditions. Plus, the SUV is available for a low starting price of $24,885. Come into the dealership and take it for a test drive today!
2021 Ford Ranger
Trucks are very popular in our neck of the woods, yet they tend to be too expensive to purchase for someone who recently graduated. The 2021 Ford Ranger is different -- setting a new standard of affordability in a new truck offering at a base price of $24,820. The 2021 Ranger is a mid-size pickup truck, yet it is not lacking in power, capability or off-road ability. Its smaller size allows for a younger driver to comfortably manage it, and its Ford Co-Pilot 360 technology works to make driving safer and easier for recent graduates. The 2021 Ranger gets an estimated 26 miles per gallon on the highway, which is remarkable for a pickup truck and will surely save a recent graduate money at the gas pump in the long run.
2021 Ford EcoSport
The 2021 EcoSport is Ford’s most affordable new vehicle offering, but we don’t think that Ford is skimping out on quality in its newest crossover SUV. The 2021 EcoSport is fun, sporty and safe. Its compact size means it can easily maneuver into small spaces or tight parking spots, yet it offers intelligent 4WD and good engine performance to allow you to venture off-road. Its interior is loaded with great technology and safety features which will make driving easier and more enjoyable. The 2021 Ford EcoSport is a great choice for any recent graduate, and, at a starting price of just $19,995, it's an affordable one as well.
