Demand for small SUVs has increased almost tenfold in the last few years, and by the next decade these small SUVs will make up around 40 percent of the automotive marketplace.
This is due largely to baby boomers who no longer need gargantuan SUVs for their children, and millennials who are beginning their own families but also live an active and vibrant life, at least according to market researchers.
Enter the new and more functional 2017 Ford Escape, which isn't revolutionary but is definitely better than its predecessor. It has received a face-lift, tummy tuck, and butt lift in the name of continuing Ford's dominance in the crossover market.
Besides the revised exterior, which carries Ford's new global design language, the Escape also receives two new turbocharged engines: a 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and a 2.0-liter twin-scroll EcoBoost four-cylinder. |
