Production of the old model ends December 2012, I guess they'll eventually have to launch the replacement model here sometime next year, though Ford Philippines hasn't made any announcements yet.
Just like the Fiesta and New Focus, watch out for news coming from Thailand, it will most likely make its ASEAN debut there before it gets here.

PS: The only news I've gathered from Ford Philippines (through Facebook) so far is, the 4x4 Ranger Wildtrak will arrive in 2013 and next month the Focus Sport + will gain an exclusive color, Mustard Olive.

Galing ako Ford today and sabi nung agent na kausap ko by January daw irerelease yung bagong Escape. And the price would be higher by more or less a 100k according to her.

Kaya pala ang laki ng discount sa current Escape, it can even reach up to a 115K!

She said it'll come with a 1.6 Ecoboost and they already tested it here, hindi naman daw hirap yung makina para sa kaha niya.

Interesting.

The 1.6 EcoBoost produces a lot of torque at low rpm.
Power: 180 PS * 5700 rpm
Torque: 250Nm * 2500 rpm

For comparison:
2012 CR-V 2.4
Power: 185 PS * 7000 rpm
Torque: 220Nm * 4400 rpm

They are no longer related. The CX-5's platform was developed by Mazda's own engineering team (although the rear suspension still has a slight resemblance to Ford's control blade suspension).

The CX-5 is very fuel efficient as per reports here and sa reviews. Kumusta kaya Fc ng 1.6 ecoboost na escape?

Any update when will the Escape 2013 be available here in the Phils?

Thanks.

Check out YouTube there US reviews. The Escape looks awesome in my opinion. Meron pa yan panoramic sunroof and power kick-open tailgate, US model nga lang Titanium. Meron din pala Euro Diesel version yan na Titanium. It looks better than the new forester in my opinion. Hehehe pero maganda talaga AWD system ng Subaru.

It's still a big question mark on when Ford plans to launch the Escape in the "ASEAN" region.
Based on recent regional automotive news, the next new Ford to make its ASEAN debut will most likely be the EcoSport CUV (which is roughly the size of a Kia Soul or Suzuki SX4.)

EcoSport


So far, there are still no spy photos of the 2013 Escape in Thailand. (Sta.Rosa factory has now been shut down)
What has surfaced online are spy photos of the EcoSport testing in Thailand where it will be manufactured.
