The Ford Authority Take
The notable increase in Ford Escape sales during Q3 2022 is certainly encouraging, though the fact that the results placed it mid-pack isn’t anything to write home about just yet. In fact, the current, fourth-generation Escape has been facing declining sales since its launch, but Ford tells us that this was all part of its plan.
In the meantime, the refreshed 2023 Ford Escape brings a host of updates to the crossover, including a revamped trim level lineup that now consists of Base, Active, PHEV, ST-Line and Platinum levels. The ST-Line brings a sportier look to the crossover, including a black mesh grille, rear-wing spoiler and monochromatic exterior with matching painted surfaces. The 2023 Escape continues to be powered by the Ford 1.5L I3 EcoBoost or the more powerful Ford 2.0L I4 EcoBoost. The the hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants of the 2.5L I4 also continue to be offered. The new model also features the Fully Networked Vehicle (FNV) electrical architecture.

Comments
Ford seriously need to focus on their on road SUV’s. They’re killing it with the off-road vehicles but with the exception of the Maverick they’re getting killed
Ford can offer all the excuses they want, but they’re getting their clock cleaned. Look at the nameplates that are outselling them. Chevy, which presumably has the same supply chain problems, is kicking their butt. The consumers have spoken, but Ford isn’t listening. Ford stock is off 45.31% year to date. Sure was fun watching Farley learning how to drift, though.
