The Q2 2022 sales performance gives the Escape a segment share of seven percent, up one percentage point from the year-ago quarter. The seven percent figure is a fraction of the 19 percent share commanded by the RAV4, up five percentage points from the year-ago quarter. From there, the Equinox posted a 12 percent share, up five percentage points, while the CR-V saw a share of 11 percent, down five percentage points. The Tucson earned nine percent, up two percentage points from the year-ago quarter. The Rogue followed with eight percent, down five percentage points, while the Sportage saw seven percent, up three percentage points from the year-ago quarter. The Bronco Sport saw its share grow one percentage point to six percent. All other segment contenders each saw four percent or less segment share.
Given that Ford now fields two vehicles in this segment – the Escape and the Bronco Sport, combined sales of both models gives The Blue Oval 63,418 deliveries, good for a 12.3 percent segment share. That’s better than the seven percent held by the Escape alone, but still behind the 19 percent held by the segment-leading RAV4.

The Ford Authority Take
The decrease in Ford Escape sales during Q2 2022 is a bit deflating given that the compact crossover has been in the red almost every quarter since the launch of the current, fourth-generation model for the 2020 model year. While factors related to product and pricing (especially related to leasing) were to blame for the downward sales trend during the first two years after launch, the Escape is now adjusting to the adverse affects presented by the coronavirus pandemic, including but not limited to the microchip shortage. To that end, The Blue Oval is allocating materials to the production of other, higher-margin vehicles like its full-size pickups as well as the Explorer and Bronco utilities.
It’s also worth noting that a refresh to the Escape is right around the corner. Expected to launch for the 2023 model year, we’ve already spied various prototypes undergoing testing before catching the model completely undisguised (without camouflage). The model features more aggressive styling at the front end and will also gain two new trim levels – ST-Line and Active.
Refreshed 2023 Ford Escape
The Dearborn-based automaker is looking for the updated model to address potential product issues associated with the current model, such as its (arguably) forgettable styling. The Blue Oval will also need to offer more attractive leasing options for the Escape, as the current model has had uncharacteristically low residual values when compared to its direct competitors. Until all of these items take place, Escape sales will likely continue in their current, also-ran position.

Comments
The interior is filled with hard plastic and its styling is not that great either. I owned 3 of them, but when they came out in 2020, I passed and bought a Edge.
I read once that people make a decision about not buying a particular car within 30 seconds of sitting in the drivers seat. I own a 2017 Escape and though I have grown used to the interior I don’t love it. However when I sat in the new model I just went yuck. It was awful. The fake wood was gross.
I have a 2020 SEL ($31k MSRP) with 12,800 miles. Great adaptive cruise control & nav systems. Trim on power windows control is peeling & front seat cushion replaced 3 times. The 3 cyl engine shudders. Poor Quality. No match for our 2019 Edge.
