The top rival for the Ford Escape will have to be the Honda HR-V. Despite everything they have to offer, the Ford Escape was always one step behind the Honda HR-V but Ford plans to change all that with the 2017 Ford Escape.
Looking through some of the feedback they got from their customers, Ford worked out an upgrade plan for the 2017 Ford Escape to make sure the upgrade model is everything their customers will ever want.
One of the main complain about the Ford Escape was the small interior. Ford mentioned that they will be working on the interior so that their customers will get more wiggle room.
They will also be making some changes to the exterior of the Escape upgrading the grille and the LED taillights. The rear glass, doors, roof, and windshield will all be carried over.
Other upgrades include the new Sync 3 infotainment system along with a few other new features like the electric parking brake system.
