What Changed
The Escape is all-new for 2013. The new model trades the blocky styling of the prior model for a sleek new look. The Escape gains 2 inches in length, and loses 2 inches in height. Although the wheelbase has grown by 2 inches, the passenger space is roughly the same size as before. Ford offers three engines ranging from a 168-bhp 2.5l four cylinder to a 237-bhp turbocharged four cylinder. All are mated to a six speed automatic transmission. Both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models are offered.
