Ford could not have chosen a better name for the latest addition to the Ford No Boundaries lineup: Escape, a lightweight sport utility vehicle (SUV) which promises an escape from driving hassles whether one is off the road or on city streets.

Escape, dubbed as the "complete lifestyle vehicle," is equipped with a 2.0-liter 16-valve Zetec engine. Its maximum output reaches 130hp at 5,500rpm while its maximum torque is at 183Nm at 4,500rpm.

Sporty Escape is lightweight and guarantees car-like driving and passenger ride.
