Freshened, when only all-new will suffice

Materials Quality

The Escape’s interior reminds us of a showroom for hard, inexpensive-feeling materials. The mousefur headliner is on the lower end of the materials scale, the door tops are hard plastic, and even the shiny piano-black trim manages to look chintzy. The dash top is coated in some sort of material that may be there to give the illusion that it’s soft, but winds up just getting sticky in the hot sun. Two different covers for the B-pillars – one a fine pebble grain, the other an elephant skin look – both feel cheap.
