Try as they might, the Ford Escape was always a few steps behind the Honda HR-V but things might be changing soon as Ford made it clear that they are looking to take down the Honda HR-V.
The 2017 Ford Escape will be getting more than a few upgrades based on what the consumers had to say about the pass Ford Escape. According to their customers, one of the issue with the Ford Escape that they wish Ford would fix is the interior. Ford will be working to increase the interior space of the Ford Escape as well as improve the insulation of the Ford Escape so that the cabin is less noisy now.
It might be different on the inside but the outside will remain the same for the most part. Some parts like the taillight, grille, and wheels will be upgraded but the doors, roof, windshield and rear glass will all remain the same.
The Ford Escape should be arriving early this year.
