The Ford Escape (designated U204) is a compact SUV sold by the automaker Ford Motor Company introduced in 2000 for the 2001 model year and priced below the Ford Explorer. The Escape was sold in Europe as the Ford Maverick.<ref>Ford Maverick (2001 - 2003)</ref> It was jointly developed with Mazda, in which Ford owns a controlling interest, and was released simultaneously with the Mazda Tribute. In the United States, Ford's Mercury division released a luxury version called the Mariner starting with the 2005 model year.

A hybrid version of the Escape was released in 2004, making it the first hybrid SUV.

The Escape is built on the Ford CD2 platform, which is in turn based on the Mazda GF platform, which was used by the Mazda 626.

Recent Changes

The Ford Escape was thoroughly updated for the 2008 model year, receiving a revised exterior and an upgraded interior.<ref>2008 Ford Escape Review</ref> For 2009, the 2.3 L 4-cylinder was replaced by a more powerful 2.5 L unit, while the V6's output was increased to 240 hp courtesy of a higher compression ratio.<ref>2009 Ford Escape Review</ref>

Styles and Major Options

The Escape is available only in 4-door body style. Front wheel drive is standard with four wheel drive being optional. The models are XLS, XLT, and Limited. The XLS can come with an optional manual transmission. The Limited can come with an optional navigation system. All models can come with Ford SYNC.

Escape Hybrid should be considered differently, in its own light. A freshening for 2005 added new headlamps (with crystal lenses), fog lamps, front and rear fascias, aluminum wheel designs and a new honeycomb grille. In 2008, the Escape Hybrid received the same exterior and interior enhancements as all Escape models.
