Think of it as a more affordable, entry-level version of the Escape. The specific features included in an XLS would vary depending on the model year. Generally, you'd expect things like:
* Basic cloth interior: Not leather or upgraded materials.
* Fewer standard electronic features: Likely less advanced infotainment systems, fewer driver-assistance technologies, and simpler audio systems.
* Simpler wheels: Usually steel wheels with hubcaps instead of alloy wheels.
To know precisely what features a specific Ford Escape XLS has, you'd need to specify the model year. Ford changes trim levels and their included features from year to year.
