Great Family SUVs for Noblesville Residents

Here at Pearson Ford—your premier Ford dealer near Noblesville—we embrace all kinds of families: those that are big, those that are small, those that love adventurous vacations, and those that prefer to stay close to home. Whatever your family looks like and likes to do together, you can find an SUV here that’s perfect for your lifestyle.

Ford’s SUV lineup is perfect for drivers in the Heart of Hamilton County. Some models can tackle rural backroads—and even some light off-roading—while others are fuel-efficient enough to pull double duty as family and commuter vehicles. Let’s take a look at just a few of the Ford SUVs you can find on our lot to get an idea of your options. We’ll be reviewing the 2023 models so you can get an idea of all the latest features on these great SUVs.

The Ford Escape

A compact SUV like the Escape is perfect for drivers who want to easily navigate downtown Indianapolis or enjoy a nimble means of maneuvering in crowded parking lots. But while it might have a compact exterior, the Escape provides plenty of space for passengers and cargo inside. It seats up to five and has a sliding second row that can give your kids more legroom as they hit their growth spurts. The second row has a 60/40 split, so you can fold some or all of it flat to accommodate more cargo, giving you up to 65.4 cu.ft. of cargo volume for those times when you want to get some new furniture without paying extra for delivery.

Budgeting can be tricky for parents who have to balance fun activities for the kids with both expected and unpredictable expenses. The Escape’s affordable price tag can help take off some of the pressure. It’s also a fuel-efficient vehicle, so you can spend less at the gas station and more on your family. With the standard powertrain, you get 30 MPG combined city/highway; opt for the available hybrid powertrain for 39 MPG combined, with a total range of 558 miles per tank; meanwhile, the PHEV powertrain will get you 37 city miles before even touching your gas tank!

The Ford Bronco Sport

Active families who love to spend the weekend kayaking on the White River or exploring the Noblesville Riverwalk will appreciate the adventurous spirit of the Bronco Sport. This athletic SUV can fit five passengers and a good amount of cargo inside, and it’s also available with roof racks that let you bring extra gear along for the ride, like bikes and kayaks. Along with day trips, the Bronco Sport is also perfect for longer expeditions, like family camping trips during the summer. The Badlands trim is especially fit to tackle the great outdoors since it has several features designed with off-roading in mind, like underbody bash plates, all-terrain tires, and a more powerful engine.

But just because you’re heading out into nature doesn’t mean you must completely disconnect from modern technology. The Bronco Sport comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, so you can use your smartphone to get directions to a new hiking trail or put on some music or podcasts to stay entertained on longer drives. Ford’s SYNC 3 infotainment system has plenty of entertainment options but prioritizes safety above all else, making it easy to stay informed about vital vehicle systems while keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road ahead.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E

When you have kids, you want to do everything you can to make the world a place where they can thrive. We want to ensure that our planet and its natural resources are around for our kids to enjoy—not just for tomorrow but for generations. Switching to an EV is a beneficial and accessible way to do your part—and going electric doesn’t have to be a chore! It can be fun and exciting with the Mustang Mach-E.

When the kids are at school, the parents can get their kicks with a thrilling ride with up to 480 hp and 634 lb-ft of torque; this much power can come in handy for everyday situations like passing safely on two-lane roads. Based on the legendary Ford Mustang, the Mustang Mach-E is an all-electric SUV that seats up to five with plenty of room to stretch out. In addition to the cargo area in the back, there’s also a sealed trunk under the hood, so you can store valuables out of sight and out of reach of younger kids.

The Mach-E is available with either rear-wheel drive for optimal efficiency or all-wheel drive for improved traction in poor weather. With the extended-range battery, you can get up to 312 miles of range—plenty for getting the kids where they need to be, as much as it is for going across the country. You can charge up on the go or from the comfort of your home, giving you plenty of options to stay active.

The Ford Explorer

If you have a bigger family, then an SUV that seats five might not work for you. In that case, you should consider the Explorer, which seats seven and gives you plenty of different trims to choose from. Loads of useful features come standard even on the most basic trim level, including a power liftgate—which makes it easy to access the cargo area with full hands—and tri-zone automatic temperature control, which lets everyone stay comfortable no matter the outside weather.

Those looking for off-road capability can get the Timberline trim, which features lower body cladding, steel underbody skid plates, and other rugged features. For a luxurious look and feel, you can get the Platinum, which has a wireless charging pad for compatible smart devices, a universal garage door opener built-in for your convenience, and heated seats in the first and second rows.

Thanks to Ford’s Co-Pilot360 driver assistance technology, you can drive with confidence, whether you’re cruising around town or taking I-69 during a busy holiday. Features like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane-Keeping System with Blind Spot Assist and Road Edge Detection put an extra layer of protection between your loved ones and the dangers of the road. The Explorer also comes standard with rear parking sensors, so it’s easy to stay aware of your surroundings even in busy parking lots.
