2017 Escape with All-Wheel Drive
The 2017 Ford Escape really turned heads this year with revised exterior styling, as well as some interior improvements, a new turbocharged engine and more. The 2017 Escape is available in three trims S, SE and Titanium. For customers who would prefer the all-wheel drive system, Ford offers available all-wheel drive on all trims except the base S model. All-wheel drive is a good option for those who live in areas that experience snow and all other sorts of weather.
