We are not totally sure that this test mule is the Ford Escape, but its headlight partially exudes Ford design, the Escape design to be exact. Besides, at the rear side window, it seems that there is another pane of glass covered up behind that. This is a familiar notch shape of the Ford Escape. Even in the taillights, we also see some similarities between this prototype and the Escape.

If our speculation is true, it’s highly likely that this will be an all-new Escape, not merely a facelift. In the main, this disguised SUV is thinner and lower than the current Escape and the rear is completely at odds. The front fascia, on the other hand, features less chunky fenders.

Some claim that this SUV might be a Ford Edge; however, based on its spy shots, it’s absolutely not.
