Default 2007 Ford Escape Spy Shots



We caught Ford's revamped Escape on public roads without its front- end camouflage, revealing the new mini-ute's completely new face for the first time. Early sightings of the Escape in various states of undress left us puzzled, as its bodysides seemed to go more car-like (without its usual chunky side cladding), while its front-end seemed to be more truckish (with its thicker egg-crate grille). Seeing the whole package nearly uncovered, the styling of the new Escape looks much more harmonious than we originally thought. The Ford Edge heavily influences the look of the new Escape, but Ford has shied away from the Fusion-inspired three-bar grille. Instead, the Escape's grille looks a bit more like the Land Rover Freelander's. The bumper juts out aggressively, but the affect is softened by an Explorer-style air intake residing below the grille. In case anyone doubts this SUV's identity, "Escape" is sculpted into the front bumper, towards the left. Although no official confirmation has been given, many expect the new Escape to see its public introduction at the New York Auto Show in mid-April. -KGP Photography

Looks aiite. I was never a fan of the current one, but this isnt bad. Its about time they updated the Escape. It seems like its been out since 1998.

It looks like it's growing in size. I would still take a RAV4 over an Escape. I'm curious if Ford will still continue the Escape-hybrid or drop it?

Who would take spyshots of a ecano ford SUV? Im not that excited... however, i must say they keep getting better at being boring when first introduced. And its only downhill from there. I truely wonder who designs the front ends of some of these fords.
