Fresh New Ford Escape SUV

The Escape offers car-like ride and handling, genuine off-road capability and excellent versatility in a rugged and stylish appearance that represents excellent value for money.
Visual enhancements to the new-look Escape have touched almost every aspect of the exterior, primarily focusing on the front and rear appearance.
Key changes include new front fog lamps, headlamps, alloy wheels, grille treatment, bumpers, wheel arch and door cladding, tailgate and rear tail lamps.
A new piano burgundy trim has been lavished on the interior console, along with changes to the seat trim and inside door treatment.
Safety has also been boosted thanks to the inclusion of front seat side/ head thorax airbags as standard.
Additional standard-fit safety and creature-comfort features include Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), cruise-control and climate control.
In addition to stylish aesthetic enhancements and improved safety, the new-look Escape features a recommended retail price of only $31,990, (Excluding dealer delivery and statutory charges).
With on-demand all-wheel-drive, automatic transmission and front seat side head/ thorax airbags as standard, additional changes have further strengthened Escape's overall appeal and make it one of the best value-proposition SUV packages available.
The new ZD Escape features a raft of visual improvements, interior enhancements and a strengthened safety story to deliver a fresh new vehicle with a car-like appearance combined with the functionality and all-wheel-drive versatility of a Ford SUV.

Exterior

The new ZD Escape receives numerous embellishments over and above the previous model, creating a smart new appearance that reflects a maturing of the model, while maintaining its youthful exuberance.

  • A new front bumper and chrome grille, featuring three horizontal bars and an enlarged Ford logo. The rear receives a similarly revised bumper complete with newly designed rear reflectors.
  • New headlamps with a horizontal eyebrow feature line create a sleek, aerodynamic appearance.
  • Front-end light treatment also extends to the fog lamps, which now display a contemporary modern look thanks to a projector-like fog lamp bezel with three horizontal lines on the side.
  • Rear LED lamps have also been added to Escape.
  • The addition of body-coloured wheel arch mouldings and body-coloured door cladding provides a more sophisticated look for the new model.
  • New 10-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels also contribute to Escape's modern look and enhance the appearance of the vehicle when viewed from the side.
  • A stylish new feature, often the domain of more expensive passenger cars, is the integration of the turn indicator into the side mirror. This improves overall appearance as well as adds to the functionality of the vehicle.
  • The freshened look is completed by new front fenders with fender vent and Escape nomenclature, while a new blackened B pillar further differentiates the new Escape from previous models.

Colours
  • A stylish new colour, Ambition Grey, has been introduced with the launch of the new model, taking the colour range to six.
           Other colours available include Hot Red, Panther Black, Moonlight Silver, Metallic Sand and Atlantis Blue.

Interior

The interior of the new ZD Escape has also benefited from a fresh look by the design team.

  • An exclusive new Piano Burgundy centre panel and door trim interior colour delivers elegant sophistication, while new Ellipse seat trim with ebony bolster accentuates the luxurious nature of the cabin.

Safety
  • In addition to Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Escape's safety story has been further improved thanks to the availability of front seat side/ head thorax airbags as standard.

The ZD Escape is powered by a 2.3-litre four-cylinder inline petrol engine coupled to a floor-mounted four-speed automatic transmission.
The engine develops 109kW at 6000rpm and 199Nm at 4000rpm and fuel economy is a respectable 10.5-litres per 100km.

Towing capacity of Escape remains unchanged at 750kg unbraked, which increases to 1000kg for braked loads.
