In the compact sports utility vehicle segment, there is only one name that has captured a major portion of the market. Buyers always opt for the Ford Escape nameplate, as far as this segment is concerned. The manufacturer has given a completely new look to the 2008 Ford Escape line-up. Vast improvements can be noticed in both the exterior as well as the interior segment in the three trims such as XLS, XLT and Limited. The improvements nearly cover all the spectrums and inject a new level of refinement.
The 2008 nameplate is the first vehicle in the US where the seating surfaces are made from 100 percent post-industrial materials, supplied by InterfaceFABRIC, Inc. With ample headroom, legroom and elbowroom, the cabin has been designed to accommodate five passengers comfortably. For the front seat of the XLS models, the manufacturer has gone for low-back buckets and manual 2-way driver's seat, while for the rear seats, there is 60/40 split seat, with tip/ fold-flat latch and adjustable head restraints. In this traction, the seats are covered with high quality cloth. To provide utmost comfort to the passengers of the XLT models, the front seat is composed of low-back buckets, premium eco-friendly cloth fabric with dual map pockets and 6-way power driver's seat. For the rear seat, there is 60/40 split seat with adjustable head restraints and tip/fold-flat latch. As the Limited trim is the top-of-the line, much importance was given on the luxury along with the comfort aspect while designing the upscale cabin. The front and rear leather-trimmed seats come with dual map pockets, adjustable head restraints, tip/fold-flat latch and 6-way power driver's seat. The seat is so comfortable to use that it is sure that the passengers will find nothing to complaint about. Removable rear seat cushions comes as a standard feature across all models and trims.
With so much importance given by the manufacturer on the comfortable seating arrangement for the users, there is no doubt in the fact that you will love to travel around in your new Ford Escape SUV model.
