A way to get a performance car that might actually sell.

The Escape interior is just like the new Focus we won't get.

Next-gen crossover looks a lot like the Ford Focus Active.

The Ford Escape is right in the thick of the compact SUV segment, with rivals including the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, and Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. The Escape is perfectly suited to SUV buyers who don't want to give up car-like driving manners. Handling is fun and sporty, something you don't often encounter in the sport-utility segment, no matter size or price point. The ride is firmer than some alternatives, however.

The 2020 Ford Escape has been spotted again, and these spy shots give us our first look at the compact crossover SUV's interior. Though it's fairly well covered, the infotainment system is left exposed, and we can make out air vent positioning. The design is very much like that of the 2019 Ford Focus. The infotainment screen sits up high in a tablet-style design with a set of controls below it, and farther below

When it was first introduced in 2007, there was nothing like the original Ford Sync system, since it allowed car owners to connect and use a portable device better than anything that came before it. It took competitors awhile to catch up. But now Ford is the one playing catchup.

Ford looks to add to its green-car momentum by launching a plug-in hybrid version of the Escape, its best-selling SUV.

Ford's refreshed Escape is much better, just maybe not with this engine.

The 2017 Ford Escape is a big improvement on what was an already remarkable crossover, and the customer-focused changes pay dividends to the Escape faithful.

The 2017 Ford Escape will get an optional Sport Appearance Package to add a bevy of black trim to the exterior and slightly upgrade the interior.

1.5- and 2.0-liter motors both have fuel-saving system that shuts down engine when car is idle.

The 2017 Ford Escape hit the stage in LA, showing off new front and rear fascias, along with a slightly overhauled cabin.

The Ford Escape is already a huge sales success, and this heavily refreshed 2017 model looks to give the customers exactly what they're asking for. Check it out when it debuts at the LA Auto Show.

Ford is planning more upscale versions of the Kuga, including a Vignale luxury version and an ST performance model.

Spy shots of a future refresh for the Ford Escape suggest big changes coming for the interior and exterior styling of the crossover. Inside, the center stack looks to be heavily revised.

Ford is recalling a total of 203,494 vehicles in North America in two campaigns. One of them covers an issue with the instruments in the Escape and Transit. The other is a small labeling issue for the Transit.

NHTSA is taking a second look at the May 2014 power steering recall that affected 740,000 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner crossovers after a complaint was filed by an owner who says Ford's fix wasn't sufficient the first time around.

Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems.

One of Ford Motor Company's most popular vehicles may also be one of its most troubled. The company announced two more recalls Tuesday of its 2013 Ford Escape.

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
