Ford Escape - Overview
Ford has sold more than one million Escapes since the model was introduced in 2001. For 2008, the Escape gets an upgraded exterior and interior, though its performance essentials have changed little. It shares a platform with the Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner. Ford introduced a hybrid version of the Escape (the first hybrid SUV) in 2004.
The popular Ford Escape tends to rank in the top half of its class thanks to its comfortable and spacious interior. However, complaints persist about its sluggish V6 engine options and bumpy ride, so look elsewhere if you want a refined driving experience.
