Nice suv that worth waiting for.
Interesting to see if Ford Phils will bring this new Escape with diesel power plant to compete with Hyundai / KIA offering.
Also interesting is how will the 1.6L eco-boost petrol engine perform in manila traffic driving.
Parang combi ng sportage at tucson yung design principle.
RWD kaya yan or FWD in 4x2 trim?

Guys, any latest news? bibili kami ng escape sana, eh kung mare release na to this year, willing to wait. Kelan kaya?
nakausap ko ang Ford Cainta, wala na daw silang Escape XLT, at hindi na daw magkakaroon.
Ibig bang sabihin kaya nun, eh malapit nang ilabas ang 2013 escape?
Not yet, the smaller EcoSport will arrive first.
-Top Gear PhilippinesTo clarify the Escape's fate in our market, we asked Krieger over dinner what the real score is. He said the new Escape will arrive but only after the EcoSport has gained some footing in the market. The reason for this is that Ford doesn't want the two small SUVs to cannibalize each other's sales.
nice and modern looking. mas nilapit itsura sa focus and makes its car-roots more obvious.
i'll miss the squarish, macho stance of past escapes na patterned sa truck/suv siblings niya.
talagang nagiging generic looking na ang mga CUV hehe
I like the design. This is surely a thousand steps forward compared to the current design.
kuga, what a name. the suv Is their choice vehicle.
i recall the preview for the then upcoming focus mk3 as a vertically compacted Kuga.
from the Kuga design, to focus mk3 hatch, to this. the look alikes have grasshopper-like fascias so there won't be much confusion, and they will have some more time before rolling with this.
Worldwide Standard Release kaya ito? Before kasi iba ang Escape sa US and and dito sa atin (asia)..
Siguro 3rd - 4th quarter of this year. Kasi alam ko yung Ranger sa February ang launching!
We cancelled our plan to get a Montero next month in favor of this. Hopefully nga dumating na ang 2013 Escape this year.
probably it won't. yung 2012 focus muna for later this year. and i have read in an article that ford phil. plant will end the current escape assembly last quarter this year. assuming uubusin pa yung stocks ng current gen, so the 2013 escape will probably enter phil. market by mid-year next year.
thinking lang if the 2013 escape will be sourced again from thailand, given the mazda 3 ended production and new focus will also end production since thai built yung next focus, ano pa gagawin ng ford plant phil?
it is confirmed by Ford Phils., the new gen Ford Escape is NOT coming this year but next year. no specific date yet.
I've dug up one article explaining in part what Ford's top mgt people plan for 2012 vis a vis Ford's Sta Rosa plant and it's limited future role after being overshadowed by its high volume capacity plant in Rayong, Thailand.
