Ford Escape
The next-generation Escape has undergone a massive transformation. The creased sheetmetal has given way to a much rounder body with superior aerodynamics. The vehicle is also lighter, more agile and more fuel-efficient than before. Incidentally, in addition to turbocharged three- and four-cylinder engines, customers have a choice of hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants, the latter with a range of 48 kilometres in EV mode. The new Escape’s interior is more refined, too.
