Last month Ford revealed its new 2008 Escape compact SUV at the L.A. Auto Show. The mechanics and engine may not have changed much, but the exterior and interior design are new and much improved over the outgoing 2007. Usually, such a change would warrant a price increase but we just received the figures for the ’08s and they’re a bit less than the 2007s. The base 2008 FWD XLS Manual starts at $18,580 compared to $19,320 for the 2007 model. Move up to the FWD 3.0-liter V-6 XLT and the 2008 price is $21,880, compared to $23,130.
The rest of the 2008 prices — including the Escape Hybrid — are below. Expect the new models to go on sale late February/March of 2007.
Prices do not include destination.
