What is the difference between Ford Escape xlt sport SUV and utility?

The Ford Escape doesn't have a trim level officially called "xlt sport utility." The naming convention is a bit confusing because Ford uses "Sport" to denote a specific appearance package *within* certain trim levels (like the XLT). Therefore, there's no inherent difference between an "xlt sport SUV" and an "xlt utility" because they are essentially describing the same vehicle with and without the optional Sport Appearance Package.

To clarify:

* Escape XLT: This is a trim level offering a certain set of standard features.

* Escape XLT with Sport Appearance Package: This is an Escape XLT that has added the Sport Appearance Package. This package typically includes cosmetic upgrades like unique wheels, grilles, badging, and potentially different interior accents. It doesn't change the underlying mechanicals or utility of the vehicle.

So, if someone is describing an "Escape XLT Sport SUV" versus just an "Escape XLT Utility," the only practical difference is the presence or absence of the Sport Appearance Package. Both are ultimately still the same SUV – an Escape XLT, just with slightly different styling.
