Reviews SummaryCrossovers are the "it" car these days, so there’s a lot of competition for a car like the Escape. This didn’t go unnoticed by Ford, so it gave the Escape a significant mid-cycle refresh. | |
Reviews SummaryAmericans have an insatiable thirst for SUVs. From the smallest and most affordable to the largest and most expensive segments, the SUV is transforming traditional ideas of what a car is and what a car does. Ford, however, which kicked off the SUV craze with its original Explorer way back in 1991, has had nothing to offer budget-conscious SUV buyers. Until now. Meet the 2018 Ford EcoSport (pronounced echo-sport). | |
