+The interior of the Escape has been enhanced with the facelift from mid 2005.  A flow-through console and bold-looking gauges are the key improvements.  The Escape has a 60/40 split rear bench seat to make it fast and easy to reconfigure the rear cargo area.  They fold down, but not perfectly flat.  Inside space is competitive, but not class leading.  The mid-range XLT offers premium cloth seats which are pleasant to look at and sit on.
