The long-running Ford Escape remains competitive in a hotly contested segment that has grown considerably in recent years.

The Ford Escape was developed in partnership with Mazda (on a model known as the Tribute), which has given it a more athletic and livelier feel than it might have had with Ford’s touches alone. It’s one of the most fun and easiest-to-drive small SUVs on the market; its car-like ride quality and handling will appeal to buyers wanting more comfort from their utility vehicle.

The Escape, now six years into its current generation, is getting close to needing a major overhaul. As a result, Ford has only made minor changes to the 2007 model, which include an XLT Appearance Package and a shift in colours and options for the XLT and Limited trims.

The Ford Escape competes with the Kia Sportage, Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-7, and Toyota RAV4. It is targeted at car buyers that want a comfortable, car-like ride with the space and capability of a sport-utility.
