The Ford Escape, America's best-selling compact utility vehicle, is getting a makeover for 2008. With a more powerful and distinctive design, taking cues from the Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition, this all-new Escape offers improved comfort and a more upscale interior, filled with innovative storage solutions. Handling and fuel economy are also upgraded with chassis refinements, while remaining true to its rugged SUV roots.
"The 2008 Escape combines the best of both worlds - the power and style of a traditional sport utility vehicle with the versatility of a crossover," says Cisco Codina, group vice president of North America Marketing, Sales and Service. "The new Escape features a more refined ride, go-anywhere capability, excellent fuel economy, 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, and a more comfortable and quieter interior."
The Escape has come a long way since its introduction as a 2001 model, with over a million units sold - a record-breaking number for any small utility vehicle or crossover. Even as the segment has almost doubled in size since 2000 (from 800,000 sales to a projected 1.5 million in 2006), Escape remains the leader.
