The 2006 Escape came equipped with a range of engine options, including a 2.3L four-cylinder and a 3.0L V6. It offered both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, catering to diverse driving needs. Notable features included standard safety equipment like anti-lock brakes (ABS), side airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system. The Escape's interior proved to be spacious and comfortable for passengers, offering ample legroom and headroom in both the front and rear. The cargo area was also generous, allowing for ample storage space for luggage, groceries, or outdoor gear. The 2006 Ford Escape was praised for its versatility and value, offering a blend of practicality, fuel efficiency, and affordability. It emerged as a popular choice for families and individuals looking for a reliable and capable compact SUV. However, some users reported issues with the transmission, particularly in the four-wheel drive models. These concerns were addressed through various recalls and software updates, but they still contributed to some negative reviews.
