Drive Smart. Drive Green.

Available EcoBoost™ Technology

The 2013 Escape has an eco-friendly side. For example, there are two available EcoBoost engines that provide more power per every drop of fuel. Seat cushion and head restraint foam is derived from plant seeds. Carpet in all the models is produced using post-industrial fibers derived from recycled plastic bottles. Even the shape of the Escape and the use of the active grille shutters helps make the vehicle more aerodynamic.

Eco-Friendly Interior

The cushions and head restraints use a bio-based polyurethane foam derived from the oils of various plant seeds such as soybeans. The carpet in all models is produced using post-industrial fibers derived from recycled plastic bottles. So no matter what color your Escape is, it will always be green.

Standard Six-Speed SelectShift™ Transmission

For efficient performance, a six-speed automatic transmission is standard on all Escape models. To add a little extra fun to your Escape, standard SelectShift capability delivers the performance feel of a manual transmission without the clutch. Using a switch on the transmission lever, you can easily and quickly shift gears.

Aerodynamic Design

Escape wasn't designed just to look great -- it was also styled to reduce air resistance. Active grille shutters also help by cheating the wind. When closed, they help to reduce vehicle aerodynamic drag caused by air traveling through the radiator.

Available Class-Exclusive* Hands-Free Liftgate

The new hands-free power liftgate is incredibly easy to use. With the available Intelligent Access key, just place your foot under the bumper and the power liftgate will automatically open, providing easy access to the cargo area.
*Class is Small Utilities. Pre-production vehicle shown. Actual vehicle will differ.

Available Intelligent 4WD System

Whether you're driving on a rain-slick or snow-covered road, the Intelligent 4WD System is monitoring traction and cornering conditions every 16 milliseconds and automatically adjusting torque distribution where needed.

3,500 lb. Towing Capacity

The 2013 Escape with the available 2.0L EcoBoost™ I-4 engine has plenty of pulling power -- up to 3,500 lbs. when properly equipped.* Escape also has trailer sway control to help you tow more confidently. This feature automatically determines the yaw motion of the vehicle if the trailer is swaying and takes measures - such as applying precise braking or reduced engine torque -- to help keep both the vehicle and the trailer under control.
***Equipped with the Class II Trailer Tow Package. **Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

Torque Vectoring Control

G forces in a corner transfer more traction to your outside tires than to your inside ones. The Torque Vectoring Control System optimizes that by transferring torque to the wheels that have the most grip. It virtually eliminates understeer, forcing the front end to hug the inside of each curve. Translation: More agility and sporty handling in the turns.

Comfortable and Convenient Seating

Seating choices. Escape gives you several:

• Escape S and SE models feature cloth seating surfaces.
• Standard on SEL, and optional on SE models, are heated, leather-trimmed front seats, including 10-way power driver's seat with power recline.
• SEL models include adjustable lumbar support and memory for three drivers
• Titanium models feature standard sport-styled partial leather-trimmed or optional full leather-trimmed heated front seats with 10-way power driver's seat, adjustable lumbar support and memory for three drivers
• All models feature 60/40-split second-row seats that fold flat for carrying cargo

Advanced Safety Protection

The 2013 Ford Escape is equipped to help keep you out of harm's way. It has control features such as standard AdvanceTrac® with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™), featuring Curve Control -- which will slow you down when it senses that you're going too fast for a particular curve -- and traction control.* And because maintaining the proper air pressure in your tires is critical, the standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System alerts you when your tires are under inflated (not available on spare tire).

To help protect you in the event of a collision, Escape features the Personal Safety System™, next-generation dual-stage driver and front-passenger airbags,** a driver's knee airbag, and front seat-mounted side airbags. Escape also features the Safety Canopy® System with two-row side-curtain airbags.
Peace of mind. It's a standard feature in Escape.
*Remember, even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. **Always wear your safety belt and secure children in the rear seat.
