2013 Ford Escape Crossover Debuts at Robbie Roberson Ford in Waycross, GA

Online, August 23, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Already a top choice in the compact SUV segment, the Ford Escape has received a makeover for the 2013 model year, providing drivers an even more impressive level of performance, comfort, style, and fuel economy. Waycross Georgia residents looking for a practical yet fun to drive SUV can experience the all-new 2013 Escape at Robbie Roberson Ford and find out just why reviewers are saying it's the best compact crossover on the market.

Available in four trims (S, SE, SEL, and Titanium), and with three engine options, the Escape offers numerous features and customized performance. The base 2.5-liter Duratec I-4 engine provides 168 hp and an EPA estimated 22 city / 31 hwy mpg, while two turbocharged EcoBoost engines are also available for improved efficiency. The 1.6-liter EcoBoost generates 178 hp and up to 33 hwy mpg, the highest in its class, while the 2.0-liter EcoBoost offers 240 hp and 30 hwy mpg. All three engines are mated to a standard 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission while both EcoBoost engines are available with Intelligent 4WD for enhanced control.

Both the exterior and interior of the 2013 Escape have received major updates providing a clean, modern look as well as innovative and versatile features. Aerodynamic design elements help reduce drag while sculpted wheel arches, elongated headlamps, and a prominent lower grille add to the Escape's dramatic, bold styling. The interior of the Escape is highlighted by a spacious, contemporary cabin and comfortable seating options, both of which feature environmentally conscious materials including plant based foam, recycled cotton, and post-consumer fibers.

High-tech convenience and safety features are abundant throughout the new Escape as well. Available features include an exclusive hands-free liftgate, push-button start, a premium Sony audio system, and SYNC with MyFord Touch. AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, a personal safety system, brake assist, and MyKey are all standard while additional safety features including a blind spot information system (BLIS), a rear view camera, and active park assist are also available.
