What type of headlights are in a 2017 Ford Escape?

The 2017 Ford Escape is equipped with a variety of headlight options, depending on the trim level and package selected. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the different headlight types available for the 2017 Ford Escape.


Standard Halogen Headlights


The base trim of the 2017 Ford Escape comes standard with halogen headlights. Halogen headlights use a filament bulb that is filled with halogen gas, which produces a bright, white light. These headlights provide adequate illumination for most driving conditions, but may not be as bright or energy-efficient as some other headlight technologies.


Available LED Headlights


Higher trim levels of the 2017 Ford Escape offer an upgrade to LED (light-emitting diode) headlights. LED headlights are more energy-efficient, longer-lasting, and can produce a brighter, more focused beam of light compared to traditional halogen bulbs. The LED headlights on the 2017 Escape are designed to provide improved visibility and a more modern, premium appearance.


Adaptive Headlights


In addition to the standard and LED headlight options, the 2017 Ford Escape can also be equipped with adaptive headlights. Adaptive headlights use sensors and motors to automatically adjust the direction and intensity of the headlight beams based on driving conditions, such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and road curvature. This feature helps to improve visibility and safety by ensuring the headlights are always pointed in the optimal direction.


Conclusion


The 2017 Ford Escape offers a range of headlight options to suit different budgets and preferences. From the standard halogen headlights to the more advanced LED and adaptive headlights, the Escape provides drivers with a variety of lighting choices to enhance their driving experience.
