2013 Ford Escape
Fuel economy: 22 city/31 highway
After 12 years on the market, the Ford Escape, the small-sized family-
friendly utility vehicle, is finally getting a full redesign. The new Escape
looks nothing like the current boxy-styled model. We had a chance to
spend some time behind the wheel of the new Escape and found it
to have a firmer ride and sportier feel than the outgoing model. It felt
stable and sure-footed on winding mountain roads thanks to the
security of enhanced features such as Torque Vectoring Control, which
helps the vehicle accelerate smoothly through corners, and Curve
Control, which slows the vehicle when it’s going too fast into a corner.
We think the new Escape is an excellent, fun-to-drive crossover that will
not only maintain Ford’s current spot at the top of the small crossover
pack, but also steal customers away from other makes, including
premium and near-luxury brands.
2013 Lincoln MKZ
Fuel economy: 25 city/27 highway
Lincoln is a brand that has, for the most part, been ignored by its
parent company Ford. In turn, the auto-buying public has also
shunned Lincoln products, seeing them as little more than gussied-up
Fords. But now, for 2013, Ford has once again decided to reinvent the
Lincoln brand. The new MKZ is amazing to behold. For a brand rarely
associated with beauty, it’s surprisingly stylish, sacrificing some of its
rear seat room and cargo capacity in favor of a sleek sloping roofline
and gorgeous silhouette. The overall look has a strong sense of
Jaguar DNA, a brand previously owned by Ford. One of the most
unique-to-Lincoln and awesome features is the all-new, full-length
oversized retractable panoramic moon roof. Overall we think the
all-new 2013 Lincoln MKZ is a stunning achievement for the brand’s
quest of reinvention.
