Ferlazzo on design

“Apart from the well-deserved success of the Territory, Ford has had a mixed bag of imported SUVs. The new Escape has fresh European styling and the new Ford front look, along with obvious attempts all over the exterior to give it a more youthful and sporty flavour. But it’s still a bit on the safe side and is up against some funky competition in this class. The interior is similarly contemporary and has a very good electronic cluster, but even the ST-Line could have had a bit more pizzazz to match that sparkling engine. Overall, a worthy new entry to the segment, but may struggle to get noticed.”
