Ford Escape: The Versatile Compact SUV
The Escape is Ford's long-running compact SUV, a practical and popular family vehicle offered with gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid power.
Introduced in 2000, the Escape helped popularize the compact crossover SUV in North America. Early models had a rugged, boxy look, while later generations became sleeker and more car-like, prioritizing comfort, efficiency, and everyday practicality.
The Escape has long offered hybrid options, including one of the first hybrid SUVs, and now includes a plug-in hybrid. It is sold in some markets as the Kuga and competes in one of the most crowded segments in the industry.
As a core volume model, the Escape remains central to Ford's lineup, appealing to buyers wanting an affordable, efficient, and flexible compact SUV.
