With room for five adults and their stuff, the Escape has gone on to be what Ford claims is North America's top-selling compact SUV for the past four years in a row. But in the red-hot crossover segment, being on top and staying there are two very separate things. Crossovers have gone through some major changes in that short time and one trend is to a more individualOR istic look between brands. In other words, people want their crossover to stand out from the guy next door's. Ford knows you don't mess too much with a winning formula so, for 2008, the for 48 months $ platform is relatively unchanged while the interior and exterior had a complete makeover. On the outside, the hard corners are gone. The beltline has been raised and the 'B' pillars are blacked out to make the greenhouse look bigger. There is a new nose with more prominent grille in body color or full chrome. Another journalist likened the overall look to the Land Rover LR2, a comparison that brought smiles to the faces of the Ford brass. The interior has been redone throughout. The most immediate difference is in the dashboard with a "top of dash" readout/display placed just above the centre stack for the audio and climate controls. The display gives "at a glance" information on items like outside temperatures, radio/sound selections and cabin climate settings. My tester came with the optional navigation system that is paired with Ford's 320watt Audiophile Sound System.
