2020 Ford Escape: Design, Performance, Features and Price Range
It is not easy to survive in the SUV market. After all, there is fierce competition between manufacturers in the segment. Yet, one of Ford’s SUV lineups, the Escape, has been able to survive for almost two decades. Not only that, but the 2020 Ford Escape is also coming too. Read on if you want to know the design, performance, features, and price range of the 2020 Escape.
2020 Ford Escape Redesign
In terms of exterior, the 2020 Escape is different from its predecessors. While its predecessors are mostly utilitarian with their boxy shape and a tiptoe stance, the same can’t be said for the 2020 Escape. The 2020 model looks more stylish, courtesy of its plenty of curves, and wider, longer and lower proportions. The smooth style is good not just for the eyes but also for the SUV’s aerodynamics as it reduces the air drag.
The inside is also changed as well. If you ever sit inside an Escape, you will be able to feel the difference in the 2020 Escape’s interior. No need to worry, though. The new Escape is comfortable and spacious.
