This year's Escape has undergone some interior changes that make it more spacious and more comfortable inside. Buick Encore has the smallest fuel tank of all the cars in the competition. Toyota RAV4 and Hyundai Santa FE have bigger fuel tanks than the Escape but they do not offer similar fuel efficiency. However, it beats Encore and all its rivals in overall range due to its excellent combination of mileage and fuel storage capacity. The Ford Escape has excellent fuel economy, but it is a little less fuel-efficient than the Buick Encore. The large 15-gallon tank also serves as a benefit for this SUV, ensuring that you can go for long miles without visiting the gas station. The Escape's combined range is 26 miles per gallon, which is again impressive, and arguably one of the best in its class. The Escape can travel 23 miles per gallon in the city and up to 33 miles per gallon on the highway. It offers higher on-the-go mileage than any other compact SUV in its class, other than the Buick Encore, which is slightly better in this case. Yet the upper trim with the turbocharged engine has a pretty fast 0-60 time, clocking in at almost 6.9 seconds, which is quite good for an SUV like this.įord's Escape has also improved its fuel economy compared with its predecessor. Though the performance of the base model isn't as good as some rivals like the RAV4, it's still great. Its performance on twisty and uneven roads is similarly impressive, and there are no areas in which the Escape could be criticized for its ride quality.Īll the compact SUVs in the competition offer the option to choose between FWD and AWD drivetrains depending on your requirements. Throughout the ride, the engine noise is also kept to a minimum. Better ride quality is also assured with the seating positioned perfectly. With the new steering wheel, you'll feel lighter and your commands are more responsive. In addition, Ford has made a major improvement in its driving dynamics compared to its past models.
All Escape trim levels are available as FWD & AWD except the base trim, which is available only in FWD. The Escape used to come with a continuously variable transmission but this year it has been updated to a Shiftable 6-speed automatic transmission. However, the other trims come with 1.6L turbocharged inline-4 engines, while the top-tier trim comes with the same engine but with a higher output. To make this SUV more appealing, it is available with two engine choices, the base model of which is equipped with a 2.0L Inline-4. The SEL trim seems to be the most value for money yer practical choice in the Escape’s lineup.Ĭompared to the previous models, the 2013 Ford Escape comes with a more powerful engine that can push more and save more fuel. Also included in the SEL trim are heated front bucket seats, 10-way adjustable front seats, Dual-zone automatic climate control, leather steering wheel, and Universal Garage door opener. The TurboCharged engine in this trim will give you good acceleration and power. Rear seat with recline and center armrestįor those who are unsure, we recommend going with the SEL but ensuring it is AWD. The standard features with the base model include 17-inch steel wheels, MyKey parental controls, an integrated blind-spot mirror, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, cruise control, and air conditioning.Īudio System from Sony with 10 speakers and HD Radio Technology In all trim levels, FWD and AWD options are both available, except for the base model that only comes in one configuration i.e. The 2013 Ford Escape is available in four trim levels S, SE, SEL, and Titanium.
