The 2007 Ford Escape is part of the first generation of Ford's small SUV lineup, which comes with a choice of either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive systems. It is available in three trim levels: XLS, XLT, and Limited. Engine choices include a 2.3L I4 (producing 153 horsepower) or a 3.0L V6 engine (producing 200 horsepower), with either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. Standard safety features include front-seat side airbags, full-length curtain-type airbags, antilock brakes, and stability control. Its interior is marked by a functional design and features like an available touchscreen infotainment system, and keyless entry. This model year does not differ greatly from the previous year's model, maintaining its boxy design and durability.
