Driven: 2013 Ford Escape
The U.S. Escape is now aligned with the European Ford Kuga, and its styling bears a family resemblance to the Fiesta, the Focus, and the new Fusion.

The Ford Escape helped define the compact crossover when it debuted at the dawn of the millennium, and although it had become uncompetitive in recent years, Ford's marketing muscle kept it at or near the top of the sales charts. Now, the Escape has been redesigned, very much in the manner of Mulally-era Fords. That means: sleek new styling with lots of surface development; integration with European- and Asian-market models; lots of high-tech features; seriously upgraded interiors; and multiple engine choices, with EcoBoost playing a major role.
