Ford Escape

Small American SUV

The Ford Escape is a compact sport utility vehicle manufactured by Ford Motor Company, introduced in 2000.

It became one of the best-selling small SUVs in North America, popular for its combination of car-like handling and practical cargo space: We traded in the sedan for an Escape.

The name suggests freedom from constraints—escaping city limits, daily routine.
