The 2012 Ford Escape offers an array of class-exclusive technology along with outstanding capability, performance and fuel economy.

The Escape features an available intelligent four-wheel-drive system that works automatically to help prevent wheel slippage, improving driver confidence.

The Ford Escape compact SUV continues to be a strong choice for consumers looking for a willing travel companion for road trips and the daily grind.

For performance-oriented customers, Escape offers a 240-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 engine mated to an efficient six-speed automatic transmission. This proven engine churns out strength and provides torque for responsive power.

Headlining the array of 2012 comfort and convenience technologies is industry-exclusive MyKey, which allows owners to program a "key limit" to certain vehicle functions to help promote safe driving habits. Available features include limiting vehicle top speed, speed alert chimes, earlier low fuel warning indicator and persistent Belt-Minder alert.

The 2012 Ford Escape employs an intelligent four-wheel-drive system that works automatically to help prevent wheel slippage. The Escape system does not require any driver interaction. The system is transparent to the driver and always there when it's needed, for wet or dry pavement, creating confidence and peace of mind. Because the system can transfer torque away from the front wheels, it helps reduce the type of understeer often associated with front-wheel-drive vehicles, providing improved vehicle control.
