| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |
