ESCAPE IN A BOLD NEW DIRECTION. The new Ford Escape and Escape Hybrid are redefining the look of fun for 2008. Their new exterior and all new interior styling includes a decidedly more robust stance and available new, durable, earth-friendly seat fabric. They also give you an exciting drive, more standard safety features than ever, and room for up to 5 adults with lots of gear. So gather your friends and hit the road for adventure in the new Escape and Escape Hybrid.
Turn every ride into a powerfully fun time The new Escape is bursting with enthusiasm for the open road — especially those twisty, curvy sections. Its retuned, fully independent suspension delivers a smoother, more refined ride than before, while the available Duratec 30–3.0L V6 engine supplies a sporty 200 horsepower to keep you on the move. If maximizing fuel economy is your kind of fun, go for Escape’s standard Duratec 23–2.3L I-4 or the ultra-efficient
hybrid powertrain. See pages 8–10 for more on Escape Hybrid.
Wander in the great outdoors It’s Saturday. It’s sunny. You’ve got to get out. Time to call your friends and hit the road. Or maybe there’s no road where you’re going. No matter. Escape’s optional Intelligent 4WD System is always on and always working. It automatically monitors traction and adjusts torque distribution as needed to give you maximum grip. So go ahead and change course whenever you’d like. Escape is willing and able to take you anywhere your heart desires.
Rough it in the safest Escape ever. With more standard safety features than ever, the new Escape is well equipped to get you through all sorts of situations. For instance, our new Electric Power Steering system adapts with changing road conditions and vehicle speed, resulting in more confident steering and handling. It also improves steering feel at low speeds and provides precise steering on the highway. Standard on Escape XLS, XLT and Limited, AdvanceTrac® with class-exclusive* RSC® (Roll Stability Control)** is an electronic stability enhancement system that actually measures what other manufacturers’ systems ignore or can only estimate. It features a unique vehicle-roll motion sensor that works in conjunction with the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), traction control and yaw control to help keep all 4 wheels firmly planted.
*Small SUV class. **Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It’s always possible to
lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. For more information on AdvanceTrac with RSC,

Take control with all-new style. Designed to help keep your eyes on the road, Escape’s new instrument panel features a centralized display area you can reference for everything from your radio station, to the available dual-zone temperature control settings, compass and outside temperature
readouts. Optional on Escape Hybrid, XLT and Limited, the DVDbased Navigation System is paired with our 320-watt Audiophile® Sound System which features a 6-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 capability. Expand your listening options with the available SIRIUS Satellite Radio* and you’ll get a 6-month subscription to start surfing over 130 channels of sports, news, entertainment and 100% commercial-free music, coast to coast.

The perfect fit for you and all your friends This is the quietest Escape ever thanks to a new acoustic-laminate windshield, redesigned sideview mirrors and other refinements that help make it 15% quieter inside at highway speeds. To make the experience even more plush, opt for the Leather Comfort Package, standard on
Escape Limited. It includes a 6-way power driver seat (standard on XLT and Limited), sumptuous leather-trimmed seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Go ahead, you’ve earned it. Grab your gear and get back to nature From a day at the lake to a week in the woods, you can count on Escape to get you there — with all your friends and gear. Traveling light? Escape can carry up to 29.2 cu. ft.* of cargo behind its standard 60/40 split-folding rear seats. Have more cargo than passengers? Use the tip-fold-flat latches to fold both rear seats down and load up to 66.3 cu. ft.* of stuff — the same volume as 49 coolers.** It’s serious
capability designed to inspire lots of adventures.
*Escape XLT capacities stated. Actual capacities vary by model. **Based on the interior volume of a typical 40-qt. cooler.
Have your Hybrid and your SUV too. As earth’s first full-hybrid SUV, Escape Hybrid continues to offer the best of both worlds: outstanding hybrid fuel efficiency and serious SUV capability. And it meets California’s strict Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) requirements,* which helps keep our air cleaner too. Start down the path toward a brighter tomorrow in Escape Hybrid.
*AT-PZEV is a rating approved by the California Air Resources Board. Vehicles sold in federally regulated states meet the
Environmental Protection Agency’s Tier 2/Bin (3) emissions standards.
Use your (passing) power for good. Escape Hybrid is all about conserving fuel. So on those rare occasions when you step on the accelerator looking for some additional get-up-and-go, Hybrid Drive mode will engage its electric traction motor to give the gas engine an extra boost. The result? Lively V6-like acceleration per formance wi th lower average fuel costs. Thanks to its electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission, Escape Hybrid can also be flat towed behind your motor home.
Go green with sustainable seating. The ultimate alliance: Escape Hybrid and its earth-friendly cloth seat fabric. The durable new material, standard on Escape Hybrid and XLT, is made from 100% post-industrial materials — plastics and polyester fibers that would have ended up in landfills otherwise. If you prefer leather-trimmed seating, opt for the Hybrid Premium Package, which includes heated front seats, heated sideview mirrors, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and much more.
