Few vehicles sharing the same basic platform are better differentiated than the Ford C2-based boxy, go-anywhere Bronco Sport and the urban-outfitted, lozenge-like Escape. Had they looked more similar, the former might have cannibalized the latter's sales. Both are selling at or near capacity three years into the fourth-generation Escape's model run, so Ford is toughening up the visage and demeanor of 2020's somewhat soft-looking Escape.
