2011 Ford Escape is Affordable Compact SUVs

It seems that Blue Oval hasn’t decided yet if the current names will be dropped in favor of a single moniker, in order to create another global car in the likes of the new Fiesta and Focus models.

Moving production to the U.S. is another point on Ford’s agenda. It’s likely that the new car will be manufactured in Louisville, Kentucky, while the German factory in Saarlouis will keep the European production of the new Focus.

The Escape is Ford's mid-size SUV with credentials that make it equally suited to urban commutes or weekend off road outings in the country. The Escape is available in XLS, XLT or Limited trim levels with either front or four wheel drive. The XLS model features a 171 horsepower 2.5 liter four-cylinder engine mated with a five-speed manual gearbox.
