2011 Ford Escape
The smallest SUV in Ford's range, the Escape has withstood the test of time, with the most recent update since its 2001 debut occurring in 2008.
The Escape is one of three triplets (the Mercury Milan and Mazda Tribute) that are different only in the way they look inside and out, where you go to service it, and what you pay for it.

There are two engine options in addition to the popular hybrid model, as well as the choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The standard engines choices include either an updated 2.5-liter four-cylinder, delivering 171 horsepower and 23 city / 28 highway mpg in manual and FWD guise or 21 city / 28 highway with a six-speed automatic.
The next engine in the line is the optional V6, which happens to pack 240 horsepower and returns 19 / 25 mpg numbers when pulled by the front wheels only. Adding four-wheel drive will drop the numbers to 18 /23 mpg.

The third engine option comes in the form of a hybrid drivetrain that pairs a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-four-cylinder engine with a permanent-magnet electric motor. This advanced powertrain pumps out a combined 177 horsepower and returns the best-in-class city fuel economy of 34 miles per gallon, with a 31 highway rating on the FWD model. Checking the four-wheel drive option box will bring the fuel economy to 30 city, 27 highway.

Since its introduction, the Escape has grown both in terms of phyiscal dimensions, but also content and trim levels. Just a few years ago the Escape was available in just three trim levels: XLS, XLT and Limited. Now you can add to that list Hybrid, and Hybird Limited, for a total of five trim levels (In addition to the ability to add all-wheel drive to each trim level).
Six airbags along with Ford's Safety Canopy system, AdvanceTrac with RSC, as well as a tire pressure monitoring system are all standard safety features common to all trims.

A new standard feature for the latest generation is a speed-sensitive Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system that replaces the old hydraulic system. EPAS helps the new SUV get better fuel economy than the prior generation.
Also, a new 10-inch front disc / rear drum braking system is claimed to improve durability while decreasing noise and dust levels.
Interior features include a standard CD player with MP3 capability even on the base XLS, with the ability to upgrade to Sync-equipped systems, and even navigation systems with Sirius and HD Radio.
Other features range from optional heated leather seats to dual-zone automatic temperature control systems.
