The 2013 Ford Escape is good on gas, great to drive, and packed with technology. What’s not to like? We do blanch a bit at the Escape’s high price-potential, but in the $25,000-28,000 range, this Ford is a very strong contender.

We can certainly enjoy the 2013 Escape’s welcoming cabin, its balanced powertrain, its suite of fresh available technology, and the overall look and refined feel of the car. Buyers will also enjoy the reasonable pricing, content value, efficient motor, comfortable ride, and general ease of use.

The Ford Escape Titanium nets you seemingly every bell and whistle known to man. My only gripe is how it looks. Be that as it may, most people really seem to like the new exterior. And even more folks will like owning such a high-quality compact CUV.

The new Escape is a force to be reckoned with. It’s priced directly in line with the completion and slightly less than the outgoing model; it’s got more space than before; it can tow up to 3500 pounds; and it’s more fun to drive than most of the class.

It’s certainly one of the sharpest looking vehicles in this price class, and when equipped with one of the EcoBoost engines, the Escape is a fun and practical ute.

The completely redone 2013 Escape is certainly capable of filling its predecessor’s big shoes. The basic ingredients of good driving dynamics are present and accounted for. The 2013 Escape is one of the best new Fords of the past five years.

The Escape is a visual great leap forward. Fundamentals of the interior are spot-on for what you’d like in a small SUV. No one could fault Ford for not providing plenty of upfront tech. Ford wasn’t afraid to put us on some demanding twisting roads and the Escape was right at home.
