The Ford Escape Has Been Completely Redesigned For 2013
The 2013 Ford Escape has had a makeover! This updated model marks the start of its third generation with refreshed styling and more technologically advanced features to enhance your driving experience. The last generation Ford Escape was very popular with Iowa City families at our Cedar Rapids dealership, as well as across the country, where over two million cars were sold. At McGrath Ford, we were excited to see what Ford would come up with for the redesign, and they've truly pulled it off.
Performance and Fuel Economy
This small crossover SUV packs a punch with a standard 2.5L four-cylinder powertrain good for 168 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque. With this option, you're looking at a very serviceable 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. That's not your only choice, though - upgrade to the turbocharged EcoBoost 1.6L engine for improved power and fuel economy. This option releases 178 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque, but also is capable of an estimated 23 mpg city and 33 mpg highway.
Vehicle Features Options
Drivers can choose four different Escape models with prices ranging from $22,470 to $30,370.
- The base S trim is well-equipped with power accessories, a six-speaker audio system, an integrated blind-spot mirror, and 17-inch steel wheels. It also features the MyKey system that allows parents to set limitations on when their child drives.
- With the SE trim, you get access to Ford's Sync system that allows voice controls over the electronics of the vehicle. It also features the turbocharged EcoBoost engine, keyless entry, a four-inch screen, reclining rear seats, satellite radio, and more.
- At the SEL Trim, drivers get the MyFord touchscreen electronics interface, leather seats, heated front seats, improved nine-speaker audio, and dual-zone climate control. There are also options to add the handsfree liftgate, navigation, rearview camera, and a feature that will allow the car to parallel park by itself.
- The best of the bunch is the Escape Titanium with remote start, keyless ignition, improved leather seats, a superior Sony Audio system, and 19-inch wheels. There are also two optional packages that can be added at this level too.
