Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2007 | 4dr SUT 320-horsepower 5.3L V8 4-speed automatic RWD |
The interior is basically a Tahoe and even with 5 people, the truck is comfortable. Rear AC and headphone jacks help too. see full Chevrolet Avalanche review |

Wide bench seat with no humps. Middle passenger has good leg room where many other vehicles have a large hump to straddle. see full Ford Escape review |

2012 | 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic FWD |
It's a tad bit tight in the drivers seat. I have to postion the seat just right to avoid hitting my right knee on the center console, and I frequently hit the light switch when getting out. I'm only 5'9", so not that large of a person. see full Ford Escape review |
