3. The Ford Escape keeps a familiar nameplate, but it's a
completely different vehicle for the 2013 model year—
powering away from its boxy SUV-influenced past with
potent engines sleek crossover looks, and more interior
space than before.
Completely new, derived from the family of components
that brought you TheCarConnection's Best Car To Buy 2012,
the Ford Focus, the new Escape delivers something very
nearly unimaginable, given its heritage--an athletic look
that's authenticated by deft road manners.

5. In escaping its own past, Ford's compact crossover turns first
to a trio of four-cylinders to replace its former four- and sixcylinder engines and the much-loved but discontinued Ford
Escape Hybrid. The base engine's a carryover 2.5-liter four
meant for fleets, while the mainstream choice is a 178horsepower, 1.6-liter turbo four with straight-line
acceleration competitive with its chief rivals, the Honda CRV and four-cylinder Toyota RAV4. At the peak of power is a
2.0-liter turbo four with 240 hp, estimated at 0-60 mph in
under 8.0 seconds.
8. All versions come with a six-speed automatic; all are
estimated at more than 30 mpg in highway fuel economy.
On the Escape Titanium we drove, ride and handling were
the ideal counterparts for the turbo's dartlike power; we
can't think of a single compact crossover that steers with
more precision or tamps down ride motions as smartly as
the Escape, except maybe the 155-hp Mazda CX-5.
