The 2013 Ford Escape, part of the compact SUV's third generation, stands as a notable entry in its class for its strong performance and high-tech features. The 2013 Escape is available in four trims, S, SE, SEL, and Titanium. It offers three engine options: a base 2.5-liter four-cylinder outputting 168 hp, a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with 178 hp, and a turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that cranks out 240 hp. All are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and FWD, with the option for 4WD in the two EcoBoost variants. Key features include a rearview camera, Ford's Sync infotainment system with a 4.2-inch display (or an 8-inch unit with MyFord Touch in high-end trims), and options for active park assist and blind-spot monitoring.
