We’ve already seen the new Ford Escape announced a few months ago with full details on how the exterior and interior looks like, but Ford surprises us with this new concept Ford Escape at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show called the Ford Escape Adventure Concept.

The front gets a new three-bar grille with silver-accented air intakes and new projector headlamps. The lower fascia air intake is flanked by two silver triangular intakes. The antenna has also been relocated from the right hand fender at the front to the roof. Finally, it is painted with a new colour called Fire red, a combination of a red base with a mix of yellow pearl in the clear coat.

On the rear, the Escape Adventure Concept uses LED tail lights. The lamp cluster takes a new approach to LED lighting for the reverse indicators – instead of multiple white LEDs, just two LEDs are used and this emits light which is carried through a light tube to illuminate the entire tail lamp in a more uniform way.

Check out more live photos of the car at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show as well as product photos after the jump.

    Yuks! 90’s! Guess they haven’t seen others opting Cab-Forward design!
    Cab-Forward provide slicker aerodynamics and max out internal space!

    This Escape better run-away when other makes comes….
    Korean can makes better looking SUV than this ones!

    Heard P1 will comes out with one, guess it which design it will opt…..

    Look more like “contractor vehicle” rather than projecting “luxury image”!

    The front design’s quite nice, but everything else looks dated and just like the old one. The rear lights are horrible!

    I’d like to have the cute gurl tho :)

    hmm…
    is it just me or do those headlights look like those from the new C-Class when viewed straight on? with the “eyelids” and all…

    well, it looks ugly and cheapskate for a concept, lots of it looks tacked on.

    I think Ford is very desperate to strengthen its place in Japan’s automobile market. They do not realise that most Japanese nowadays are not too concern about owning a car, due to the fact that their public transportations are very efficient, so they do not need a car after all, especially the younger generations.
