Ford's Best-Selling SUV Gets a Complete Makeover

By Jason Fogelson, About.com Guide

The compact SUV market continues to heat up, and Ford may have brought it to a boil with its latest offering. The 2013 Ford Escape represents a complete makeover for Ford's most popular SUV, with a new body, interior and powertrain. About the only thing that remains of the old Escape is the name, and as this is a global product now, even that isn't universal. The 2013 Ford Escape will start hitting showrooms in the late spring/early summer of 2012, with base prices starting at $23,295 ($36,130 as tested Escape Titanium). Fuel economy is estimated at 22 mpg city/30 mpg highway for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4/4WD model that I tested.
