Most likely next year, i'm just not sure if it will arrive before or after its baby brother the EcoSport.

So far, the only confirmed new Ford models to be launched here this year are the following:
All-new Ranger
Explorer 2.0 Ecoboost
All-new Focus

Update:

The almost identical euro-spec 2013 Kuga version of the 2013 Escape.

Unlike the USDM Escape, this will have optional TDCi engines.

Engines available from launch include 140PS and 163PS versions of Ford's popular 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engine, with Ford Powershift automatic gearbox an option. Ford Kuga will also offer the 1.6-litre EcoBoost petrol engine, already available in Ford Focus and C-MAX and impressing with its strong torque delivery and high fuel efficiency.

So far, there hasn't been any set regional (ASEAN) launch date for the 2013 Escape/Kuga.
Ford Phils doesn't want to give info on future models (next batch of new models to be introduced) but based on the articles I have read, the smaller 2013 EcoSport will be the next new ASEAN Ford model to be made in Ford's new plant in Thailand, again no date has been announced.

My guess is both the 2013 EcoSport and 2013 Escape/Kuga, will be introduced next year.

The 2013 Escape just went on sale in North America, it goes on sale in Europe starting early 2013 where it will carry the Kuga name.

PS: ASEAN models are usually introduced in Thailand first before they get here.

2013 Escape Recall

2013 Ford Escape Recalled For Braking Issue

**AG4** · July 19th, 2012 04:54 PM

I think its a good move for them to do a voluntary recall while it's still early.

Ford is conducting a voluntary safety recall of certain 2013 model-year Escape compact crossovers over concerns that carpet padding mispositioned during installation may interfere with braking.

A notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) site lists the number of vehicles potentially affected in the U.S. at 8,266. Affected vehicles were built at the Louisville Assembly Plant from March 8, 2012 through June 7, 2012.
