The Ford Escape is a compact crossover SUV sold by Ford since 2000 over 4 generations. The showtime generation was jointly developed with Mazda which besides created the Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner as the twin model. Second generations of the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda Tribute were released in 2007 for the 2008 model year, just more often than not restricted to North America. In other markets, the beginning generation models were either replaced by updated kickoff generation versions, or replaced past the Mazda CX-7 (2006) and Ford Kuga (2008). Unlike the collaborative approach taken with the previous model, this time the design and engineering was carried out by Ford. Since 2013, the model has been paralleled with the Kuga sold exterior N America, making them essentially identical. A hybrid option was again bachelor.

Ford released the third generation model in 2012 for the 2013 model year. For the third-generation, Ford unified the model with the Europe-designed Ford Kuga every bit per the "I Ford" plan of having only one vehicle per segment internationally. It continues to the 4th-generation in which the N American Escape is identical to the Kuga with a small cosmetic redesign. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid options are available for the fourth-generation model.

Chronology
Successor Ford Kuga (Europe)

The commencement generation of Ford Escape was released in 2000 for the 2001 model year. It was jointly developed with Mazda, in which Ford owned a decision-making interest, and was released simultaneously with the Mazda Tribute. Although the Escape and Tribute shared the same underpinnings constructed from the Ford CD2 platform (based on Mazda GF underpinnings), the simply panels common to the two vehicles were the roof and flooring pressings. Powertrains were supplied by Mazda with respect to the base inline-four engine, with Ford providing the optional V6. At get-go, the twinned models were assembled by Ford in the Us for North American consumption, with Mazda in Japan supplying cars for other markets. This followed a long history of Mazda-derived Fords, starting with the Ford Courier in the 1970s.

At the time, larger sport-utility vehicles tended to use pickup truck-based, body-on-frame designs. Other automobile makers, Jeep, Toyota and Honda had been offer smaller unibody designs, the Jeep Cherokee (XJ), RAV4 and CR-5 respectively. Solid rear axles were commonly used on the full-sized truck-based SUVs and Jeep Cherokee due to their ability to carry heavy loads at the expense of a comfortable ride and skillful handling. Ford and Mazda decided to offer a car-like, unibody design with a fully independent intermission and rack and pinion steering similar to the RAV4 and CR-V in the Escape.[6] Although non meant for serious off-roading, a full-time all-wheel-bulldoze (AWD) system supplied by Dana was optional, which included a locking center differential activated by a switch on the dashboard.[7] The AWD system ordinarily sends about of the power from the engine to the forepart wheels. If slipping is detected at the front, more than ability volition be sent to the rear wheels in a fraction of a second. The four bike drive system was a newer version of Ford's "Control Trac" 4x4 system, dubbed the Command Trac 2 4WD in the Escape. This system allowed the front wheels to receive 100% of the torque until a slip was detected. Using a Rotary Blade Coupling, the rear wheels could be sent up to 100% of the power in fractions of a second. When switching the organisation from "Machine" to "On," the front end and rear axles are locked at a 50/l split; the reaction time necessary to engage the rear wheels is reduced via an integrated featherbed clutch. The Control Trac II system allows for a four-wheel drive vehicle without the use of a center differential. The unabridged braking system was built by Continental Teves, including the ABS and various related suspension components.[8]

Ford likewise sold the first generation Escape in Europe and China equally the Ford Maverick, replacing the previous Nissan-sourced model. Then in 2004, for the 2005 model year, Ford's Mercury partitioning released a rebadged version called the Mercury Mariner, sold mainly in North America. The outset iteration Escape remains notable as the first SUV to offer a hybrid drivetrain pick, released in 2004 for the 2005 model yr to North American markets only. CKD production began in 2002 at Ford Lio Ho Motor Co. in Taiwan for various Asian markets.[9] One difference between the Tribute and the Ford Escape is that, in an endeavour to culture a sporty image, the Tribute's intermission is tuned for a firmer ride than the Escape.

Mainstream production of the first generation Escape/Tribute concluded in belatedly 2006. For Asia-Pacific markets, both received corresponding facelifts in 2006 and had production fully transferred to Ford Lio Ho in Taiwan. Extended production of the Mazda lasted until 2010, and until 2012 for Ford.

Ford Escape [edit]

2000–2004 (BA, ZA)

In Northward America, it slotted below the larger, truck-based Explorer in Ford's lineup, but was marginally larger than the small-scale SUV offerings from Honda and Toyota.[10] Although it is technically a crossover vehicle, it is marketed past Ford as part of its traditional SUV lineup (Escape, Explorer, Expedition) rather than its carve up crossover lineup (Edge, Flex) due to its more conventional SUV styling.

Right-hand drive interior

From 2001 to 2004, the Ford Escape was sold in Europe under the Bohemian name, and replaced a rebadged version of the Nissan Mistral/Terrano Two. Only two versions were made, the 2.0 L Zetec inline 4 engine with transmission transmission and 3.0 L Duratec V6 with automatic manual, both using gasoline as fuel. The absenteeism of a diesel version did not assist sales and the vehicle was temporarily discontinued in late 2003. However, the Bohemian, in the Uk for instance, was only available in XLT trim. Plus, the dashboard was non the same as the US Escape; it was instead taken from the Mazda Tribute. The Bohemian was reintroduced in 2005 in certain European markets with the Duratec V6 engine. The Maverick was assembled in Russia for the Russian market. As of 2006, the Maverick was no longer sold in Europe, leaving Ford without a compact SUV until the 2008 Ford Kuga was introduced. The Maverick was primarily designed for on-route use – sold with normal road tires, and to exist used with front-bicycle drive well-nigh of the time.

Crash-exam results for the Escape accept been mixed. In the New Car Assessment Program administered by the United states-based National Highway Traffic Safe Administration, the car received five out of v stars for driver protection and four out of 5 stars for rider protection in a 35 mph (56 km/h) frontal touch.[11] The SUV received five stars for both driver and rear rider in the side touch exam. In the Insurance Constitute for Highway Safety's twoscore mph (64 km/h) frontal offset examination, 2001–2004 Escapes received a score of "Marginal".[12] In the side touch crash test, vehicles equipped with the optional side air bags received a score of "Good" in the 31 mph (l km/h), while those without the optional air bags received a score of "Poor".[13]

All Escapes are equipped with a passive 'Immobiliser' chosen SecuriLock. This feature includes an 'RFID' chip embedded in the key, which the motorcar reads each time the driver inserts the key. If the central doesn't provide a valid confirmation betoken, the vehicle does not run, fifty-fifty if the cardinal is perfectly cut to match the original. Theft, injury, and collision losses reported to insurance companies for the Escape are among the everyman in its form.[14]

North America

In the United States, all Escapes included standard equipment such as power windows with an automatic commuter's side window, ability door locks, anti-lock braking system (ABS), keyless entry, a folding rear-bench seat, 16-inch wheels, and air-conditioning. In addition, an Escape heir-apparent could choose from 1 of several different trim levels that were bachelor, which included:

XLS (2001–2007): As the well-nigh bones trim level of the Escape, the XLS included: the 2.0-liter Zetec (2001–2004) and the two.3-liter DuraTec (2005–2007) engines, a v-speed manual transmission, 15-inch steel wheels, an AM/FM stereo with cassette and CD players (afterward, just a single-CD player in 2005, adding MP3 capability in 2007 along with SIRIUS) and four speakers, high-back forepart saucepan seats, and cloth-and-vinyl seating surfaces. Options include 15- or xvi-inch blend wheels, the 3.0-liter V6 engine (2001–2004), and a four-speed automatic transmission (some of which was available equally the XLS Popular Grouping).

XLT (2001–2007): Equally the peak-of-the-line trim level of the Escape in 2001, and the nearly popular trim level of the Escape throughout its unabridged run (2001–2007), the XLT added the following equipment to the base XLS trim level: 16-inch alloy wheels, security alarm, cloth seating surfaces, and an enhanced interior. Options included an AM/FM stereo with a six-disc, in-dash CD changer (which subsequently became standard equipment on all Escapes), the 3.0-liter V6 engine, a 4-speed automatic transmission, a power sunroof, leather-and-vinyl-trimmed seating surfaces, and the seven-speaker premium audio arrangement with amplifier and rear-mounted subwoofer.

XLT Sport (2002–2007): The XLT Sport was one of the more pop trim levels of the Escape from 2002 to 2007. It added equipment to the standard XLT equipment: the V6 engine, 4-speed automatic manual, sport interior trim, and 16-inch machined alloy wheels. Options were the same as the standard XLT trim level.

Limited (2002–2007): As the elevation-of-the-line trim level of the Escape from 2002–2007, the Limited trim level added the following equipment to the XLT Sport trim level: an AM/FM stereo with six-disc in-dash CD/MP3 changer, the seven-speaker premium audio organisation with amplifier and rear-mounted subwoofer, depression-dorsum front end bucket seats, leather-trimmed seating surfaces, dual power heated front bucket seats, a security system, color-keyed exterior trim, luxury interior trim, and a unique front end grille. Options were express, just included a ability sunroof.

Hybrid (2005–2007): Based on the midrange XLT trim level, the Hybrid included: the 2.iii-liter DuraTec inline-four engine with an electric motor, ability front bucket seats, low-back front saucepan seats, enhanced partially-recycled cloth seating surfaces, and unique 16-inch alloy wheels. Options included a powered sunroof, a unique integrated GPS navigational organisation with hybrid information system, Sirius Satellite Radio, the seven-speaker premium audio system with amplifier and rear-mounted subwoofer, leather-trimmed seating surfaces, and a "two-tone" exterior paint scheme, with silvery-painted lower exterior trim and front and rear bumpers.

2004–2006 (ZB)

2004–2006 Ford Escape (ZB)

The Escape and Tribute were updated in February 2004 for the 2005 model twelvemonth with a new base engine (the ii.3 L [2261 cc, 140 cu in] Duratec 23), which replaced the Zetec 2.0 L (1983 cc, 121 cu in) 127 hp (95 kW) 4-cylinder. The most powerful engine remained the 200 hp (150 kW) Duratec 3.0 L (2976 cc, 181 cu in) V6, with new engine mounts. Ford likewise added advanced airbag and seatbelt condom systems, an intelligent AWD system, and exterior modest changes, which included a redesigned front bumper. The 2005 model twelvemonth was the starting time with an automatic transmission available on the base 4-cylinder models. The automatic shifter was moved from the column to the console on all models equipped with automatic transmissions. Ford also deleted the recline feature on the rear seats to improve the rubber of occupants in the rear seats in the case of a rear crash.

2006–2008 (ZC; Asia-Pacific)

2006–2008 Ford Escape (ZC)

2006 Ford Escape (ZC, Taiwanese version)

A revamped ZC Escape designed in Taiwan past Ford Lio Ho went on sale in the 2d half of 2006 for the Asian and Pacific markets (except South Korea, where the Due north American-market Escape is sold).[xv] Major external changes included a redesigned forepart bumper, grille, headlights and hood, and rear bumper, also as LED taillights.

On the inside, changes included a floor-mounted automatic-transmission shifter, in place of the cavalcade shifter, as well as a redesigned center stack containing sound and climate controls. Climate command is automatic on all models except the XLS. The Limited model too featured full colour-coded bumpers, wheel arches and side moldings, as well as side mirrors with integrated LED indicators. Rear pulsate brakes take been replaced by disc brakes all round.

The 3.0 Fifty V6 has been modified to reduce fuel consumption past over ten%,[ citation needed ] while the 2.3 L four-cylinder has improved midrange torque and an electronic throttle, besides as a slight increase in power to 109 kW (146 hp). Both engines had been certified to run across Euro 3 emission regulations. A four-speed automatic carried over and was the sole transmission choice. Two dissimilar four-speed automated transmissions were used, CD4E for 3.0 50 V6 and GF4AX-EL for 2.3 Fifty 4-cylinder.

2008–2009 (ZD; Asia-Pacific)

2008–2009 Ford Escape (ZD)

The ZD Escape designed in Taiwan by Ford Lio Ho for Asia-Pacific markets went on sale in mid-2008, bringing numerous changes. In Australia, the V6 engine was dropped, leaving only the 2.3-liter iv-cylinder.[16]

The model range was also simplified, with only a single specification available. Changes to the body included an all-new front bumper, grille, headlights and bonnet, featuring an enlarged Ford emblem set upon a iii-bar chrome grille. At the rear, new, slimmer tail lights were featured, which were arranged horizontally, rather than vertically. In addition, the B-pillar was now painted blackness, rather than trunk-colour. Compared with the previous model, all external bumpers, mirrors, and cladding were painted the aforementioned colour every bit the trunk (previously, this was but bachelor on the upscale Limited model). Equipment levels accept also improved. Compared to the base of operations model ZC Escape, the ZD included standard side airbags, automatic climate command, 16" alloy wheels, and mirrors with integrated indicators. Unlike most other competitors in its class, curtain airbags and electronic stability control were not available.

2009–2012 (ZD; Asia-Pacific)

2009–2012 Ford Escape (ZD)

In 2009, another facelift of the ZD Escape developed past Ford Lio Ho brought about a new grille and front bumper. Chrome trim was completely removed from the grille, replaced with a smaller, black honeycomb grille equally the terminal Ford Escape. In its last years, information technology was sold side by side with its successor, Ford Kuga until the Kuga replaced it in 2013.

Mercury Mariner [edit]

Mercury Mariner

Introduced in 2004 for the 2005-model-year refresh of the Ford Escape in the United states, Ford's Mercury sectionalization released a version called the Mercury Mariner. The Mariner is Mercury'south first car-based SUV, and was slotted beneath the Mercury Mountaineer in its lineup. The Mariner was officially offered in the US, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE. The Mariner includes stylistic differences, such as a 2-tone interior, turn bespeak repeaters borrowed from the European-market Ford Bohemian (the Escape's name in Europe), monotone cladding, and the Mercury "waterfall" front grille. Unlike its counterparts, Mercury did not offer a manual transmission every bit part of the powertrain lineup. The Mariner was the first Mercury with a four-cylinder since the Mercury Cougar was dropped in 2002. For 2006, the lineup was expanded with the introduction of the Mariner Hybrid. Sales concluded after the 2007 model, replaced by a second generation, again a rebadged Ford Escape.

On September 7, 2006, Ford delivered a special "Presidential Edition" Mercury Mariner Hybrid to onetime President Neb Clinton. Its custom features include: LED lighting, 120V outlet, rear bucket seats, middle panel & rear seat fold-out writing desks, personal DVD players for each seat, refrigerator, increased rear seat legroom. In that location have as well been several undisclosed security modifications made to the vehicle.[17]

The Mariner Hybrid powertrain was identical to its sibling, the Ford Escape Hybrid. It was launched to the U.S. marketplace in 2006 and was discontinued in 2010 (in the 2d generation) when the Mercury car division itself was discontinued by Ford. The Mariner hybrid sold a total of 12,300 units.[18]

Like the Ford Escape Hybrid, the Mariner Hybrid is a "full" hybrid electric organization, meaning the organization can switch automatically betwixt pure electrical ability, pure gasoline engine ability, or a combination of electric bombardment and gasoline engine operating together, for maximum operation and efficiency at all speeds and loads. When braking or decelerating, the Mariner'south hybrid system uses regenerative braking, where the electric bulldoze motor becomes a generator, converting the vehicle's momentum dorsum to electricity for storage in the batteries. With 155 hp (116 kW), the Mariner Hybrid has nearly the same dispatch performance as the conventional 200 hp (150 kW) V6 Mariner. Over again, just like the Escape Hybrid, it gets a respectable average of 34 miles per United states of america gallon (six.ix L/100 km; 41 mpg‑imp) and is sometimes said to be the most fuel efficient sport utility vehicle on the road.[nineteen]

Hybrid [edit]

2005–2007 Ford Escape Hybrid

The Ford Escape Hybrid and Mercury Mariner Hybrid are the gasoline-electric hybrid powered versions that launched in the U.S. in 2004 for the 2005 model twelvemonth. Assembled in Kansas City, Missouri, it was the first hybrid SUV produced for sale and the beginning hybrid from an American manufacturer (aslope the Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra Hybrids during the same model year). Co-ordinate to the Environmental Protection Agency, the showtime-generation Ford Escape Hybrid is 70% more efficient than the regular Escape. While the Mercury Mariner was also offered as a hybrid, the selection was non available on the Mazda Tribute.

Escape hybrid versions can be identified by the "Hybrid" badges located on the front commuter's and passenger's doors likewise equally near the correct tailgate. In addition, the commuter'due south side window in the cargo area is smaller to suit a ventilation slot for the high voltage battery. There was besides a "Special Appearance Package" bachelor as an option on the 2005–2007 Hybrid models. This package replaced the traditional lower cladding of the Escape with a silverish end. Standard equipment on the Escape Hybrid includes: an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, cruise control, a six-CD stereo, 16-inch alloy wheels, power door locks with remote keyless entry, and ability windows.

Ford built 17,000 Escape Hybrids in the 2nd one-half of 2004, four times every bit many as it had originally planned.[20] Starting in 2005 New York Metropolis and other cities in the world began using the Ford Escape Hybrid equally taxicabs.[21] The Ford Escape Hybrid won the North American Truck of the Year honor in 2005.[22]

Drivetrain technology [edit]

The Escape Hybrid uses hybrid engineering similar to that used in the Toyota Prius. Ford engineers realized their engineering may disharmonize with patents held by Toyota, which led to a 2004 patent-sharing accord between the companies, licensing Ford's use of some of Toyota's hybrid technology[23] in substitution for Toyota's use of some of Ford'southward diesel and direct-injection engine applied science.[24] Ford maintains that Ford received no technical help from Toyota in developing the hybrid powertrain, just that some hybrid engine technologies adult by Ford independently were plant to exist similar to technologies previously patented by Toyota, so licenses were obtained.[24] Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd., a Japanese automotive components supplier belonging to the Toyota Group, supplies the HD-ten hybrid continuously variable transmission for the Escape Hybrid. While Toyota produces its third-generation Prius manual in-house, Aisin is the but supplier of hybrid transmissions to other manufacturers. Friction has arisen apropos Aisin's allocation of limited product capacity and engineering resource to Ford.[24] Sanyo Electric Co. built the fifty kg (110 lb), 330 volt[25] v.5 Ah (would arrive 1.8kWh storage), 250-cell nickel metal hydride (NiMH) bombardment pack for the 2005 Escape Hybrid.[26]

The Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid, meaning the organisation can switch automatically betwixt pure electrical power, pure gasoline engine power, or a combination of electrical battery and gasoline engine operating together, for maximum performance and efficiency at all speeds and loads. When braking or decelerating, the Escape'south hybrid system uses regenerative braking, where the electric drive motor becomes a generator, converting the vehicle's momentum back to electricity for storage in the batteries. The Escape Hybrid'due south 133 horsepower (99 kW) Atkinson cycle gasoline I4 engine and electrical motor combine to give 155 hp (116 kW), which gives the Hybrid Escape nearly the same acceleration functioning as the conventional 200 hp (150 kW) V6 Escape due to the electric motor's torque being bachelor from zip rpm.

The hybrid is said to requite approximately 75% greater efficiency, the FWD version has EPA ratings of 30 mpg and 28 highway, with combined 29 mpg. The AWD version EPA ratings 28 metropolis and 26 highway, combined 27 mpg -U.Due south. in city traffic, and has demonstrated it can travel 400–500 miles (644–805 km) on a unmarried xv.0-U.S.-gallon (57 Fifty; 12.5 imp gal) mpg-U.S. (7.6L-8.1 L/100 km; 35–37 mpg-imp) on the highway. To obtain these mileage figures, the owners manual states that pure gasoline, not ethanol blends, must exist used. In 2006, Ford showed an Escape that could run on E85 fuel.

Unlike conventional vehicles, hybrids often reach meliorate figures in the city because they do not waste ability idling and can recover some ability when stopping (by using regenerative braking) that would be wasted in a conventional vehicle.

Recalls [edit]

Subframe failure [edit]

In Apr 2014, Ford issued a think on 386,000 Ford Escapes and Mazda Tributes for model years 2001-2004 for Escapes manufactured October 22, 1999 through January 23, 2004 for Canada and the northern "salt belt" states in the US. Subframe rust can result in the lower control arm mount breaking or detaching from the subframe, resulting in a loss of steering control and the run a risk of crash. Dealers have installed a crossbrace reinforcement to any vehicle affected by the recall. Model years 2005-2007 were not afflicted.[27] [28]

Chronology
Successor Mazda CX-5 (for Tribute)

The 2d generation Ford Escape debuted at the 2006 Los Angeles International Car Show.[30] The Northward American-market Escape and its Mazda Tribute and Mercury Mariner siblings were redesigned to stay competitive with other new meaty SUVs, however near of the internals take been carried over for the 2008 model year. The Escape however uses the CD2 platform.[31] Ford likewise included an electronic stability control organization standard on the 2008 Escape.[32] The Mercury version lasted until late 2010, withdrawn from the market place equally part of the closure of the Mercury brand, with Mazda'south Tribute ending production in late 2011. Ford ended manufacture of the 2nd series Escape in 2012.

The updated Escape received some styling cues from the Explorer, Edge, and Expedition. Changes include a new grille with larger headlamps in the front fascia, while the sides were revised with cleaner lines and rounder wheel arches. The interior is likewise completely redesigned, including the newest standard Ford family navigation system.[33]

The 2008 Escape and its Mercury Mariner sibling were the get-go vehicles to feature Ford'due south pull-drift steering fashion, an enhancement made possible by applying software control to the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system.[34]

Ford ended production on the 2nd generation Escape in 2011 and moved production to its Louisville Assembly Establish in Louisville, Kentucky, where information technology was succeeded past a new Escape based on its European CUV analogue, the Ford Kuga.[35]

Ford [edit]

A new concept version for the Asian market, called the Ford Escape Adventure Concept, was revealed at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. It features a revised forepart and rear fascia, incorporating Ford'due south three-bar grille styling theme and restyled LED tail lamps.[36]

The 2.three L Duratec 23 was replaced by a new 2.5 Fifty (2488 cc, 152 cu in) Duratec 25,[37] which boosted standard ability to 171 hp (128 kW) and 171 lb⋅ft (232 Due north⋅m) of torque, while increasing fuel economy by one mpg (~2L/100 km) on both urban and extra-urban cycles. The optional three.0 L Duratec thirty V6 was thoroughly updated, resulting in a twoscore hp (30 kW) increase, bringing power output to 240 hp (180 kW) and 223 lb⋅ft (302 N⋅thou) of torque. The Duratec 30 also sees a 1 mpg‑US (240 L/100 km; 1.two mpg‑imp) fuel economy comeback. The "Escape" badge is entirely removed from the front doors.

The Hybrid is too upgraded to use the ii.five L (admitting still using the Atkinson cycle for better fuel economic system). Efficiency improved to 34 mpg‑Usa (6.9 L/100 km; 41 mpg‑imp) metropolis and 31 mpg‑The states (7.6 L/100 km; 37 mpg‑imp) highway according to the USEPA. The 2.five 50 engine brings the Hybrid's power output upwardly by 22 hp (xvi kW) when the electric motor is added in.

Other mechanical changes include a new 18.v mm (0.73 in) rear stabilizer bar, revised suspension tuning, upgrades to the iii.0 L V6 that brought power to 240 hp,[37] and a new exhaust arrangement on all Escapes. The braking system for the Hybrid versions has been revised with a vacuum help unit that reviewers take said give the brakes a consistent feel over the entire travel of the brake pedal.[37] Previous versions of the Hybrid were reported to accept a slightly mushy restriction feel, primarily due to the fact that for the outset function of the brake travel and braking the system is regenerating power instead of engaging the restriction pads against the rotors. Even so, the brakes, when tested, gave the Escape extremely long stops.

This generation also saw the introduction of the optional "sport appearance packet", which includes the upgraded iii.0L V6, changed the front grille from chrome to gloss black, added a gloss black appliqué to the front bumper, changed the rocker covers and door handles from unpainted black plastic to body-coloured, added a gloss black rear spoiler, black headlamp housings, blackness 17" rims, black fabric/leather interior with piano black trim and removes whatsoever exterior "V6" badging. This option was merely available on the XLT trim level and simply with ingot silver, sterling grey, steel blue or tuxedo black metallic paints.

In 2009, Ford'south SYNC system is standard on the Hybrid, Hybrid Express, and conventional Limited models, and optional on the XLS and XLT.

The Escape underwent some pocket-size aerodynamic changes for 2009, including a revised forepart mentum spoiler and rear tire spoilers. Along with the addition of rear tire spoilers is an optional 17" chrome-clad wheel equipped with a new Michelin "Depression-Rolling-Resistance-Tire", slightly increasing ground clearance and improving traction over the standard 16" wheels and tires. Another new characteristic is Ford's Piece of cake-Fuel capless fuel filling organization.[38]

Equally of Baronial 2009 the Escape was among the 4 Ford vehicles, along with the Focus, F-Series and Ranger, to benefit the nigh from the Cash for Clunkers program, where information technology showed a 49 percent increment in sales.[39]

In 2009 for the 2010 model year, the Escape volition add three new features that volition be standard on all trims: Ford'south MyKey, trailer sway controls and Integrated Spotter Mirror for improve bullheaded spot viewing. Everything else added in the 2008 and 2009 model years will be carried over, merely the optional orders accept been renamed to Rapid Specification Codes (100s for XLS, 200s for XLT, and 300s for Limited).

New optional features for 2010: active park assist (APA) is a new feature available since mid-2009 as an pick on the 2010 Ford Escape Limited (currently merely optional on the Ford Flex, Lincoln MKT, and Lincoln MKS). Active Park Assist will detect an available parallel parking space and automatically steer the vehicle into the space (hands gratuitous) while the driver controls the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. The system volition visually and audibly instruct the driver to park the vehicle. Active Park Aid system uses sensors on the front and rear of the vehicle to guide the vehicle into a parking space. Rear-view camera system – uses an exterior camera embedded in the rear of the vehicle that sends images to a video display in the rearview mirror or the navigation organisation screen to help enhance visibility direct behind the vehicle when it is in reverse.

No cosmetic changes were fabricated for the 2011 model yr. The just small alter is the standardization of SYNC Traffic & Directions on whatsoever models coming equipped with Sync.[40]

There are no corrective or equipment changes for the 2012 model year. The third-generation Escape was unveiled at the 2012 North American International Auto Evidence in Detroit.

Previously unavailable Electronic Stability Control system became standard on the second generation.[41] In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests the Escape along with its cousins, the Mercury Mariner and the Mazda Tribute, are rated "Good" in both frontal and side impact crash tests.[42] [43] They are rated "Good" for rear crash protection besides[44] and were given the "Superlative Prophylactic Pick" award until 2010. In roof forcefulness tests the Escape receives a "Marginal" rating while hybrid models are rated "Poor".[45]

Mazda [edit]

In 2007 for the 2008 model twelvemonth, the Tribute was significantly revamped, like its Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner siblings. Originally fix to be renamed the Mazda CX-5, the vehicle kept the Tribute name. The changes were significant, simply barbarous short of a "clean sheet" redesign, as the vehicles remained on the CD2 platform, and kept the onetime 2.3 L MZR I4, and 3.0 L AJ V6 engines. Visible changes include all new canvas metallic and interior. The interior was significantly upgraded using all new components and higher quality materials, and was more often than not praised by automotive journalists.[46] However, different the first generation of the Tribute, which had unique exterior and interior from its siblings, the new model only differs from its siblings in the "nose" (front fenders, hood, and front fascia), tail lights and detailing. Notable changes to the outside include higher belt line, and more than pronounced wheel arches. Overall the motorcar was to expect larger and more substantial than the previous model. Every bit a price-saving measure, the rear restriction was reverted to drum brake, with predictable criticisms.[47] [48]

The 2008 Mazda Tribute (non-hybrid) was starting time unveiled at the 2007 Montreal International Auto Show, and the 2008 Mazda Tribute went on auction in March 2007.[49] A new add-on was the Hybrid model, which was previously only bachelor on the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner.

The Tribute received additional major changes to improve performance for the 2009 model twelvemonth, mostly by fashion of mechanical upgrades. Most significantly, all new engines replaced the increasingly outmatched two.3L I4 and 3.0L V6. Mazda's new MZR 2.5L I4 replaced the ii.3L, boosting horsepower to 171 bhp (128 kW; 173 PS) and 171 lb⋅ft (232 N⋅m) of torque at 4000 rpm.[fifty] Despite increased horsepower, fuel economic system also increased by ane mpg‑Usa (240 L/100 km; 1.2 mpg‑imp) on both urban and extra-urban cycles. The optional 3.0 L (AJ) V6 was thoroughly updated, resulting in a 40 hp (30 kW) increase, bringing power output to 240 hp (180 kW) and 223 lb⋅ft (302 N⋅m) of torque. Information technology also sees a ane mpg improvement. The Tribute Hybrid was dropped after the 2009 model year.

Another pregnant change was the switch to Ford's new 6F six-speed automated, which became standard on all V6 equipped models and optional on the I4. As well, new forepart and 18.v mm (0.73 in) rear stabilizer bars were added for 2009 to improve ride handling after complaints about diminished performance following the 2008 changes. Others changes included redesigned seats, daytime running lamps, optional steering mounted sound controls, and other additional features. The Tribute was discontinued in November 2011 at the end of the 2011 model year, replaced by the Mazda CX-v for 2012.

Mercury [edit]

2008–2010 Mercury Mariner

For the 2008 model year the Mariner was significantly updated with a new wait although it remained on the Ford CD2 platform used by the previous generation. The first 2008 Mercury Mariner was unveiled at the S Florida International Auto Show on October 6, 2006. The changes included a new seats, headlights, taillights, a new liftgate, a higher beltline and new doors and wheels. The interior was also significantly updated with higher quality materials and more refined features. The engines remained the aforementioned but the 3.0 L Duratec V6 has been modified to reduce fuel consumption by 10%.

The 2009 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner were unveiled at the 2008 Washington Auto Evidence. Sporting a 2.five-liter engine and 6-speed automatic transmission that replaced the four-speed automatic transmission, the new powertrain improved the EPA fuel economy by 1 mile per gallon and increased power by 11% to 170 hp (127 kW). Also, the existing iii.0-liter Duratec V6 was bumped from 200 hp (149 kW) to 240 hp (179 kW). The new engine was too the new footing for Ford's hybrid models, including the Ford Escape Hybrid and Mercury Mariner Hybrid. "For every eight Escape and Mariner vehicles we sell, ane of them is a hybrid, and the appeal is growing," says Sue Cischke, Ford senior vice president, Sustainability, Environment and Rubber Engineering.

For the 2010 model year, the Mariner added Ford's MyKey and trailer sway controls as standard on all trim levels. The Mariner engine has a Flex-Fuel option on all models—significant they can employ E85 fuel or regular unleaded only on the optional V6 engine. Ford has also washed away with the Euro-mode turn signal repeaters for this model year. For the 2011 model twelvemonth, the Mariner featured Hd Radio as a standard, just continued with the same features as the 2010 models. This version of the Mariner was its terminal, as Ford discontinued the Mercury brand due to failing sales. Ford ended product of the Mariner in October 2010. The final one rolled off the assembly line on October five, 2010.

Hybrid [edit]

2009–2012 Ford Escape Hybrid

The second generation Ford Escape Hybrid received some minor styling tweaks inside and out. The major cosmetic changes included new bumpers, grille, headlights and taillights to friction match Ford's new edge style. Just the drivetrain was essentially the same mechanically but has had all-encompassing software modifications.[51] For 2009, a larger, more powerful engine was introduced, together with a revised suspension, addition of stability control, the debut of "Sync" vocalization-control organisation and a capless fuel filler system.[52] The batteries and other hybrid components in a 2009 Escape hybrid added about 136 kg (300 lbs) to the vehicle. However, the added weight was blamed for an adverse effect in handling.[53] Furthermore, from 2009 onward, rear disc brakes of previous years were swapped for drum brakes, which was criticized as a "strange step backward".[52]

The second generation Escape Hybrid was offered in two levels of specification, an undesignated base model and the more expensive "Limited" trim. The base included: a threescore/twoscore split up-fold rear bench seat, AdvanceTrac with ringlet stability control, and a single-disc four-speaker CD/MP3 stereo with Sirius Satellite Radio compatibility. The "Limited" adds: a chrome forepart grille, heated front end seats, a six-style ability commuter's seat and full leather upholstery, rear park help, ambient lighting, and 16-inch six-spoke alloy wheels. For the 2009 model year, Ford SYNC became standard on both Hybrid trims and the Ford Escape Hybrid replaced the "ESCAPE" badges on doors with "HYBRID," while relocating the logo for Ford hybrid models from near the driver's side doors next to the "HYBRID" text. 2010 models saw the addition of MyKey, trailer sway controls, and integrated spotter mirror for better blind spot viewing. New optional extras are active park aid and a rear-view photographic camera.

Ford adult a prototype E85 Hybrid Escape, the first flexible fuel hybrid electrical vehicle capable of running on 85% ethanol.[54] In 2007 Ford produced 20 sit-in Escape Hybrid E85s for real-world testing in fleets effectually the U.S.[55] [56]

From 2009, the gas engine was 2.5L Atkinson-bike four cylinder engine with 155 hp at 6,000 rpm with an electric motor that produces 94 hp at v,000 rpm. The maximum combined output of both was 177 hp.[57]

The U.S. Environmental Protection Bureau (EPA) rated the fuel economy for the 2010 Escape Hybrid (FWD) at 34 miles per U.s.a. gallon (6.ix Fifty/100 km; 41 mpg‑imp) city, and 31 miles per Us gallon (vii.half dozen 50/100 km; 37 mpg‑imp) highway.[58] The following table compares fuel economy, carbon footprint, and petroleum consumption between the hybrid version and other drivetrains of the Escape family as estimated by the EPA and the U.South. Department of Energy. The Escape Hybrid met both California'due south SULEV and PZEV standards, with tailpipe emissions better than 90% less than the average 2003 new motorcar and nil evaporative emissions.[59]

By early 2012 Ford discontinued the production of the Escape Hybrid due to the introduction of the tertiary generation Escape. Ii of the new 2013 model year Escapes have direct-injected and turbocharged EcoBoost units (of 1.6 and 2.0 liters) that deliver a college fuel economy than the 2012 model. A total of 122,850 Escape Hybrids were built since 2005, along with 12,300 units of its sibling the Mercury Mariner Hybrid, discontinued in 2010.[sixty]

Plug-in hybrid

Iii companies have converted Ford Escape Hybrids to plug-in under a contract with the NYSERDA and delivered them in 2007: Electrovaya of Toronto Canada, Hymotion too of Toronto Canada, Hybrids Plus of Bedrock Colorado, United States.[61]

Ford developed a research Escape Plug-in Hybrid and delivered the start of a fleet of 20 to Southern California Edison (SCE) in Dec 2007 to begin road testing. This project was a collaboration aimed to explore the future of plug-in hybrids and evaluate how the vehicles might interact with the dwelling and the utility'due south electric filigree. Some of the vehicles were evaluated "in typical customer settings", according to Ford.[62] [63] [64] Ford also adult the first always flexible-fuel plug-in hybrid SUV, which was delivered to the Us Department of Free energy in June 2008. This plug-in version of the Escape Hybrid runs on gasoline or E85 and is likewise role of the demonstration armada Ford adult in a partnership with Southern California Edison and the Electric Power Research Institute.[65]

Both the E85 version and the conventional gasoline engine version utilise a 10 kwh lithium-ion battery, which allows for a thirty-mile (48 km) range at twoscore miles per hour (64 km/h) or less. When the battery's charge drops to 30%, the vehicle switches to its 4-cylinder engine, assisted by the batteries, operating as a regular hybrid electric vehicle. The vehicle has a display system that shows the commuter how efficient the vehicle is at any given time. If the vehicle uses its engine and is running in traditional hybrid fashion, fuel economy is rated at 88 miles per U.Due south. gallon (2.7 L/100 km; 106 mpg‑imp) in the city and 50 miles per U.Due south. gallon (4.vii Fifty/100 km; 60 mpg‑imp) on the highway.[65] [66]

This armada of 20 Ford Escape Plug-ins was field tested with utility visitor fleets in California, New York, Ohio, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Quebec, Canada, with sales scheduled to being in 2012.[66] [67]

On August 2009 Ford delivered the first Escape Plug-in equipped with intelligent vehicle-to-filigree (V2G) communications and control system engineering science to American Electric Power of Columbus, Ohio. This applied science allows the vehicle operator to program when to recharge the vehicle, for how long and at what utility charge per unit. The battery systems communicate direct with the electrical filigree via smart meters provided by utility companies through wireless networking.[68] During the two years since the sit-in program began, the armada of Escape Plug-ins has logged more than 75,000 miles (121,000 km), and Ford plans to equip all 21 plug-in hybrid Escapes with the vehicle-to-grid communications technology.[68]

The Ford demonstration vehicles and Hybrids Plus conversions are similar. The conversion involves the replacement of the original NiMH battery, located on the flooring of the trunk, with a larger chapters Li-ion battery, in the same location and substantially the aforementioned volume as the original battery. The Electrovaya and Hymotion conversions retain the original battery, and broaden its capacity with a Li-ion battery that occupies a significant portion of the trunk. In all cases, the conversion besides involves the improver of a charger and of a ability plug.

In Communist china, the fourth generation Escape has a slightly restyled front end fascia compared to the North American version, and would exist sold alongside the previous generation, which was sold every bit the Ford Kuga.[77] [78]

Details [edit]

There are four new engine-transmission combinations including a plug-in gas-electric hybrid that tin become 37 miles (lx km) on electricity lone with an efficiency rating of 100 MPGe,[79] as well every bit a conventional hybrid and two turbocharged engines mated to an viii-speed automatic transmission.

The base engine, a turbocharged one.5-liter inline 3-cylinder, makes 181 hp (135 kW; 184 PS) and 190 lb⋅ft (258 N⋅m) of torque.

An available turbocharged ii.0-liter 4-cylinder engine makes 250 hp (190 kW; 250 PS) and 280 lb⋅ft (380 N⋅yard) of torque but merely comes with all-wheel drive. The Escape Hybrid, returning later on an extended absence, and all new plug-in hybrid are powered past a two.5-liter gasoline inline-four that runs on the more efficient Atkinson bike, forth with two electric motors and a planetary gearset that combines the two power sources and allows for gear-ratio changes, essentially operating as a continuously variable automatic transmission. The standard hybrid's battery pack is rated at 1.1 kilowatt-hours, while the plug-in hybrid's is significantly larger, at 14.4 kWh; both are lithium-ion packs that fit under the flooring. Combined horsepower for the standard hybrid is 200 hp (150 kW; 200 PS), while the plug-in has 209 hp (156 kW; 212 PS) combined. It has S, SE, SE Sport, SEL, and Titanium trim levels.[80] [81]

Every Escape also comes with these safety features:[82]

  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the adjacent lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the machine back into its lane if it begins to migrate over the lane mark)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

On October 17, 2019, this new generation came to the Mexican market place.[83]

Trim Levels [edit]

In the United states, the Escape is available in v trim levels: South, SE, SE Sport, SEL, and Titanium. All trims except for the S trim (only available with a gasoline engine) and the SE Sport (but available every bit a gasoline/electrical hybrid model) are available with gasoline-but, gasoline/electrical hybrid, and gasoline/electric Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) powertrains. Gasoline-only models use an eight-speed automated transmission, while all other models utilise a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). All models also offer a choice of either Front end Wheel Drive or All Bike Bulldoze, except for gasoline/electric Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) models, which are only bachelor with Front Cycle Drive.

Chinese and Taiwanese marketplace version [edit]
