The new generation Ford Escape had a rough start in the United States.
The sales of the Kuga’s North American brother were down by 26.1 percent in 2020 compared to 2019 despite the full redesign of the crossover.
In October last year, it was also announced the production of the Escape PHEV won’t begin until Ford fixes the battery issues it is having with the Euro-spec model.
Now, it turns out the seven-seat Escape is also not in the plans for a launch in the US.
FordAuthority reports the Blue oval company is working on a three-row version of the compact crossover but it will be available only in China.
According to preliminary details, the seven-seat model will be launched in the People’s Republic towards the end of this year or in early 2022.
