2019 Ford Escape Exterior and Dimensions

The Escape looks like your typical crossover SUV; every trim features a two-bar chrome grille and fitted black cladding integrated to the wheel arches and front and rear diffusers. While the S and SE have halogen reflector headlamps and configurable daytime running lights (and fog lamps on the SE), the SEL is fitted with halogen projector-beam headlamps with non-configurable LED signature lamps and black roof-rack side rails. At the top of the range, the Titanium has bi-xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps and silver roof-rack side rails. The S line rides on 17-inch Sparkle Silver-painted steel wheels, which are swapped out for alloys on the SE and SEL. 19-inch bright-machined aluminum wheels fill the arches of the Titanium.

The Ford Escape is a compact crossover SUV and is considerably more compact than theFord Edge, which falls under the mid-size SUV classification. With a length of 178.1 inches, the Escape is more than ten inches shorter than the Edge, it's lower than the Edge by two inches with a height of 66.3 inches, and narrower by three inches with a width of 72.4 inches. The Escape's wheelbase is tighter by six-odd inches at 105.9 inches. Curb weights range from 3,552 in the base front-wheel-drive Escape trim to 3,755 lbs in the all-wheel-drive top-tier trim, that's around 400 lbs lighter than the Edge lineup.
