FORD UNVIELS NEW MIDNIGHT ESCAPE
 |
The Midnight Escape features gloss black paint on fascias, body cladding and wheel-lip moldings. A unique black trim treatment and ebony Nudo leather-trimmed seats complement the all-black exterior and promise a luxurious experience for driver and passengers.
“Just like the customer who’s buying one, the Midnight Escape is refined,” said Vivian Palmer, Escape marketing manager. “Ford Escape is already an affordable and fun option for a new generation of SUV customers, and the Midnight Escape is a slick addition to Ford’s unparalleled lineup of SUVs.”
Midnight Escape package, available as a 4x2 or 4x4 with purchase of the Escape XLT, features:
- Black painted fascias, body cladding and wheel-lip moldings
- Deluxe Ebony Nudo leather-trimmed seats
- Side-impact air bags
- MACH MP3 music system
- 16-inch bright, machined aluminum wheels with high-gloss black accents and silver center caps
The MP3 music system combines a state-of-the-art MP3 player with an in-dash CD radio. The system can play traditional compact discs and up to 10 hours or 255 songs of MP3-formatted music.
The Ford Escape small SUV was introduced in 2001. Designed to appeal to buyers who may not have owned or considered an SUV before, Escape offers comfort, convenience and versatility alongside the Ford trademark toughness to help ensure customers get the SUV that fits their lifestyle. Escape was a logical expansion by Ford, which pioneered the modern SUV with the Ford Explorer in 1991.
The limited-edition Midnight Escape package is available with purchase of the XLT series body code, which includes Duratec V-6 engine, four-speed automatic transmission, privacy glass, fog lamps and power moonroof.
Ford expects to build no more than 5,000 Midnight Escapes. Base manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $24,995 for the 4x2 and $26,445 for the 4x4, including destination and delivery charges.
