The Ford Escape is a compact five-passenger sport utility vehicle introduced for the 2001 model year and a direct competitor to the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V. This model is sold in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations, and is one of the most popular vehicles in the Ford stable. The 2013 edition is all-new, a vehicle that builds on the history of this popular SUV.

When introduced, the 2001 Ford Escape offered a 2.0-liter four cylinder engine as standard equipment. That engine was paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and made 21 mpg city, 26 mpg highway. Optionally, a 3.0-liter V-6 engine was offered, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and delivering 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway. Those numbers would be considered poor today compared to what compact SUVs can get.

The first generation Ford Escape was produced for 12 model years ending in 2012. This is uncommonly long for any vehicle, but Ford refreshed the Escape in 2008 to give it a new exterior and a new interior. The mechanicals remained the same, but the base engine was now a 2.3-liter four paired with a 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission. This car delivered 22 mpg city, 28 mpg highway or about average for the segment. Optionally, the same 3.0-liter V-6 engine was still available, now delivering 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.

By the end of the first generation, a 2.5-liter four cylinder engine was offered, delivering 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway. Ford paired this model with a 5-speed manual or an optional 6-speed automatic transmission. The V-6 engine was also available and paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This model delivers 20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway.

Ford's initial foray into powertrain hybridization began in 2006 when an Escape Hybrid model was introduced. This vehicle was produced through 2012 before it was discontinued and replaced by the Ford C-MAX.

The Escape Hybrid was powered by a 2.5-liter four cylinder engine operating on the Atkinson cycle. Paired with a continuously variable transmission, a battery-powered electric motor also provides energy to turn the wheels. A nickel-metal hydride battery pack stored energy. This model delivered 34 mpg city, 31 mpg highway for best-in-class fuel economy.
