While I was in L.A. last month, I was able to get a sneak peek at the newest offerings from Ford. If you have been thinking about getting a new Ford or Lincoln, you might want to hold off until these two are released! Below I included just a short summary of what you can expect from these vehicles. See more info on the [2017 Ford Escape](https://www.cookiesandclogs.com/2017-ford-escape-reveal/) and [2017 Lincoln MKZ](https://www.cookiesandclogs.com/2017-lincoln-mkz-reveal-la-auto-show/).

### 2017 Ford Escape Reveal in Hollywood, CA

The 2017 Ford Escape is sporting a new grill, six wheel designs, and a slew of features inside. Consumers can choose from two new EcoBoost® engines and it will include SYNC® Connect. This will allows owners to unlock and lock their doors, start engine, and even locate vehicle through the smartphone app. Adaptive cruise control and Auto Start-Stop are additional features new to this model.

The 2017 Ford Escape will be available Spring 2016\. Learn more about this vehicle [here](https://www.ford.com/suvs/escape/2017/?ref=cookiesandclogs.com).

### 2017 Lincoln MKZ Reveal in Los Angeles, CA

The 2017 has a more modern look, a panoramic roof that goes way back, 14- or 20-speaker Revel audio, smart chargers, and tactile controls which replace the sliding bars that looked cool but weren’t as easy to work with. A 3.0L 400-horsepower engine will be available, meaning serious power will be humming under that luxurious hood, as well as a 2.0L hybrid model.

Summer 2016 is the slated release for the 2017 Lincoln MKZ. Learn more about the 2017 Lincoln MKZ [here](http://www.lincoln.com/2017-mkz/?ref=cookiesandclogs.com).
