About this generation

The third-generation Escape transitioned to global C1 architecture, unifying with the European Kuga.

Unveiled for 2013, the third-generation Escape merged North American and global product lines onto the global C1 platform. The boxy shape was replaced by a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette featuring Kinetic Design elements. Interior technology stepped forward with MyFord Touch/SYNC systems and a hands-free kick-activated tailgate.

The engine lineup phased out V6 options in favor of advanced 1.6-liter, 1.5-liter, and 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinders alongside a base 2.5-liter engine. Front-wheel drive was standard, with Intelligent AWD continuously variable torque management available. The lasting engineering impact of this generation remains a key benchmark in Ford's global model evolution history. Known for its dependable mechanical layout, the vehicle built a loyal customer base across diverse driving conditions. Offered with versatile feature packages, this iteration successfully balanced day-to-day usability with solid resale value.
