Previewed by the Ford Equator Concept in 2005, a revamped ZC Escape designed in Taiwan by [[Ford Lio Ho]] went on sale in the second half of 2006 for the Asian and Pacific markets (except South Korea, where the North American-market Escape is sold).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://autoincar.blogspot.com/2007/09/ford-thailand-has-launched-revised.html |title=Ford Thailand has launched a revised Escape suv |work=AUTO in CAR |publisher=Autoincar.blogspot.com |date=September 27, 2007 |access-date=May 2, 2009}} {{dead link|date=June 2012}}</ref> Major external changes included a redesigned front bumper, grille, headlights and hood, and rear bumper, as well as [[LED]] taillights.

On the inside, changes included a floor-mounted automatic-transmission shifter, in place of the column shifter, as well as a redesigned center stack containing audio and climate controls. Climate control is automatic on all models except the XLS. The Limited model also featured full color-coded bumpers, wheel arches and side moldings, as well as side mirrors with integrated LED indicators. Rear drum brakes have been replaced by disc brakes all round.

The 3.0&nbsp;L V6 has been modified to reduce fuel consumption by over 10%,{{citation needed|date=June 2012}} while the 2.3&nbsp;L 4-cylinder has improved midrange torque and an electronic throttle, as well as a slight increase in power to {{convert|109|kW|abbr=on}}. Both engines had been certified to meet [[Euro III]] emission regulations. A four-speed automatic carried over and was the sole transmission choice. Two different four-speed automatic transmissions were used, [[Ford CD4E transmission|CD4E]] for 3.0&nbsp;L V6 and [[Mazda G4A-EL transmission|GF4AX-EL]] for 2.3&nbsp;L 4-cylinder.
