Exterior
The Escape has a facelift in 2005. The face-lift included new front and rear fascias, an eggcrate grille, new headlights and restyled wheels. Traditional styling resembles Ford's full-size SUVs and trucks, though on a smaller scale. The rear liftgate has a flip-up window that opens separately.
The four-door Escape rides a 103.2-inch wheelbase, has a four-wheel-independent suspension and uses unibody construction. Dark Shadow Grey fascias, cladding and wheel-lip moldings highlight the XLT. Small Ding, Right Rear Quarter.

Interior

Rather than the column-mounted gearshift previous models used, the current Escape features a console shift lever. Each Escape seats five people on two front bucket seats and a 60/40-split, folding rear bench. Cargo volume behind the rear seat measures 29.3 cubic feet. Standard equipment includes a CD player, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, and power windows, locks and mirrors.

Under the Hood
This XLT Sport and Limited models use a 200-hp, 3.0-liter V-6, which comes only with the automatic. This Escape is equipped with the new Intelligent four-wheel drive, which engages automatically to maintain traction. An optional towing package for the V-6-equipped Escape allows it to haul 3,500 pounds.

Driving Impressions
The Escape is easy to drive and quite stable on the highway. It steers with a very light touch, which imparts a sufficient level of confidence. Frisky performance emanates from the V-6 engine, and the Escape accelerates from a standstill with spirit. The automatic transmission shifts capably and without lumpiness -- it's quite smooth for a truck.
