Freshened, when only all-new will suffice

Infotainment Controls

The Escape uses Ford’s standard-issue navigation and audio system controls, which is no bad thing. It’s a simple layout that’s easy to use and read. Everything is clearly labeled, and it uses logically arranged buttons with plenty of redundancy on the steering wheel. The touch screen is easy to read, and although the contrast between roads and backgrounds could be better, there’s little to complain about here. Audio quality is very good, and the inclusion of an auxiliary input is handy.
