Ford Escape was actually an attempt to escape. If not to the stars like in a rock song, than overseas for sure. This compact crossover of the first generation came out in 2000 in Ohio and was the first company’s vehicle targeted for Europe.
One of the greatest advantages concerning this car is a wide variety of options to choose from – different types of transmission and mechanics, and hybrid modifications as another bonus.
Ford Escape can boast with its endurance. It all not about safety only, but about the difficulties and hardships during production as well. Due to certain defects, several campaigns recalled a huge number of cars. Nevertheless, it doesn’t interfere with further success. Over a million cars were sold in the USA between 2000 and 2007. Needless to say about Taiwan, Japan and China, where Ford’s plants keep functioning actively, too.
Every new generation of Ford Escape becomes a result of a considerable and successful modernization of a previous model. It means that developers understand what exactly can be improved and how to do it.
By the way, new Ford Escape will see the world in the nearest future – in 2017, to be precise. Designers have already revealed that this model is going to offer real surprises and become smarter than anything you’ve seen before. Automatic maneuver system, advanced communication features, remote vehicle access and control are only the beginning of the list. They are accompanied with eye-catching and simple interior, quiet ride, and a wide range of engine options.
