The new Ford Escape offers the versatility and carrying capacity of SUV customers expect with a design inspired by the sports they want.
"Flight of the athletes beauty is not an accident," said Martin Smith, Executive Design Director for Europe, Asia Pacific and
The new SUV will be sold as the Ford Escape in
The function follows form, and a stylish design that allows the volume of drain output load Ford - of 68.1 cubic meters behind the first row and 34.3 cubic feet behind the second row. The new Kuga will be slightly larger than the current model, adding space for luggage.
Seats, the woman passed Ford Escape, lose weight, while adding the convenience of customers. The structure of the bank has lost about 3 pounds, while the seats themselves added more features - two-way power reclining and two-way power lumbar support. It is, in addition to the family of six positions of adjustment.
A racing seat, more pillows and a different style of sewing is also available.
The headrest of the front four-way adjustment provides for the first time. Both seats and rear head restraints, has been improved to allow easy folding and are made of foam from soybean.

ford escape EcoBoost advanced
For the first time, the flight new Ford will be characterized by two different EcoBoost ®. This award-winning Ford Motor, which produces a driving performance and fuel economy is expected better than any other competitor, there is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, the first time in the U.S.
Each new engine technology EcoBoost uses direct injection and turbo basics and adds two camshafts independent variable (Ti-VCT). With these technologies, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost is designed to produce more torque than the Toyota RAV4 V6 in liters larger, and 1.6, is designed to produce fuel economy segment leader among compact SUVs, and up to 5 mpg better exhaust.
EcoBoost is a popular choice among customers, such as EcoBoost V6 was introduced in 2009 Ford Taurus SHO and Lincoln MKS.
EcoBoost is key to Ford's strategy to offer advanced propulsion systems, high performance, low fuel consumption to offset that offer exceptional performance without compromise for millions of motorists around the world. In 2013, over 90 percent of Ford North America will be available with EcoBoost technology. Ford has more than 125 patents on its EcoBoost engine technology.
"Providing customers with two options EcoBoost perfectly complements the range of intelligent technologies, available in high-new Ford Escape,"
"said Roger Maynard, Powertrain supervisor. "Both EcoBoost 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter offers a fuel economy increase performance and maximize the spirit."
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine is designed to offer £ 250 Nm of torque and 237 horsepower. The EcoBoost 1.6-liter four-cylinder, is designed to provide 177 pounds-feet of torque and 173 horsepower.
Each new EcoBoost engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission specially calibrated SelectShift ™ is standard and allows the driver to manually control the gear selection of a switch on the left side of the drive.
The gearbox has a new torque converter for improved driving feel, silky smooth ride and low fuel consumption. Engineers also installed transmission ratios for driving magazines sense of balance in all situations. The new relations complement the torque converter changed.
"The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, and all EcoBoost engines, maximum torque delivered via broadband," says Maynard. "This means that motorists will receive a prompt reply when he left office -. Without sacrificing fuel economy"
1.6-liter EcoBoost in North America
Also available first in North America is 1.6 liters Ford EcoBoost. As your partner, 2.0-liter, 1.6-liter EcoBoost is designed to provide better torque than the current competitors Honda and Toyota
"The 1.6-liter EcoBoost will be the leaders in fuel economy for new Ford Escape and provide excellent fuel economy with a high responsiveness of the engine," said Maynard.
Efforts to reduce unwanted noise, 2.0-liter EcoBoost will move to the EcoBoost 1.6-liter, which adds a bypass valve with electronic control.
This valve allows to reduce the tip end of the turbocharger and external noise, which produces a softer sound of the motor when the tips of the clients outside the accelerator. The valve softens the sound, the balance of the intake air pressure.
Lighter, more efficient 2.5-liter
The base engine for the Ford Escape is a new updated version of the 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which shares many components with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine to save weight, improve quality and increase fuel economy.
Highlighting the improvements is the new world of low-voltage front-end accessory belt. With the tape at a lower voltage, the friction in the entire system is reduced.Less friction reducing fuel consumption.
This improvement, combined with changes in motor control and the progress of others, contributes to an improvement of 2 mpg in fuel economy and better torque at low speeds to feel better the performance.
Fuel economy is also improving the shutter Grille active system, which helps to reduce air resistance and all models with the EcoBoost 1.6-liter and 2.5-liter four-cylinder.
The system activates the grille shutter is open grid of slats additional air of the engine cooling is necessary, such as low-speed driving stop-and-go. When traveling on the road at a constant speed, the blades are automatically closed grid to improve the aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.
Activities Grille and shutters are used in the Ford Focus, Ford Taurus and Ford Edge in North America and gradually add more vehicles.
Global Powertrain
In markets outside North America , where most new Ford Kuga SUV carrying a badge, an additional set of engines, including a new diesel engine will be offered.More details will be provided at the launch of the new Kuga to Geneva Motor Show in March 2012.
Plastic bottles and recycled cotton waste looking for fresh start
A wide range of materials compatible with the environment or recycled materials - including plastic bottles and cotton, to name a few within the Ford exhaust again.
"The new Ford Escape has a strong story to tell to environmental responsibility," said Sue Cischke, vice president, Environment, Sustainability and safety engineering. "With two new EcoBoost engines all over each lower CO2 emissions than similar conventional engines, and the extensive use of recycled or renewable materials, the new Ford escape is more environmentally friendly."
The Ford Escape has new material even more sustainable than its predecessor.The materials which are recycled effects, sources and reduce the environment include:
Rugs of any material post-consumer and post-industrial. An example of a plastic material is post-consumer, which is recycled, such as beverage bottles. The source of polyester is about one third of post-consumer and post-industrial two-thirds
Approximately 25 to 20 oz plastic bottles are a total carpet
The soy foam in seats and head restraints
Undershields Powertrain made from 100 percent recycled plastic
More than 10 pounds of scrap recycled cotton jeans, shirts, T-shirts and other items otherwise sent to a landfill is used for sound-absorbing materials
Climate control joints based on recycled tires
Using industry before Micro (MuCell) technology in the process of injection molding of the dashboard, reducing the weight of a pound and contribute to the saving of fuel.
This technology is injected microscopic cells to reduce weight without sacrificing the integrity dimensional
Adjustments are made tailpipe in polished stainless steel instead of more common and less environmentally friendly chrome finish
The extensive use of green materials, recycled and recyclable fuel economy integrates the expected best-in-class new Ford Escape, further strengthening the credentials of the car's environmental responsibilities. The new Ford Escape meets the goal of USCAR Vehicle Recycling Partnership that 85 percent of the vehicle is recyclable.
A soy-based foam added to the headrest
Expanding the use of soy-based foam in the exhaust gas remains completely new. Addition to the content of the bio-foam seat cushion and seat back, the rear part of the exhaust is still foam which is 5 percent soy.
The carpet material is made of any post-consumption (which was recycled plastic, for example beverage bottles) or post-industrial (waste companies that make clothing, for example) sources. In Ford Escape again, the source of the polyester is about one third of post consumer and two-thirds of post-industrial sector.
Ford engineers estimate that about 25 to 20 oz plastic bottles used in the production of carpets of every new location in North America . At current levels of sales, or more than 4 million plastic bottles recycled each year.
"We are confident that the new Ford escape providing excellent fuel economy and make intelligent use of materials that otherwise in a landfill," said Cischke. "Smart clients appreciate what we have done away with much greener and smarter."
Security
The new Ford Escape combines the security features and technologies customers really want, including a high-strength steel body and an even more intelligent than any new offerings from other manufacturers.
"Safety is of paramount importance to customers of small SUVs, and offers new Ford Escape," said Jason Sprawka, Escape marketing manager. "The new flight 5000 crashed in testing times and virtual reality to improve security."
The new Ford Escape adds about four times the high-strength steel and ultra high as a vehicle to start. Approximately one third of the steel in the exhaust-monocoque is made of new high-strength steel and high strength, protecting its occupants in the event of an accident.
The new flight also has the most ™ personal security with new security technologies and belts of seven airbags.
The personal security system is a network of components that work together to tailor airbag deployment in frontal collisions. The restraint control module (RCM) translates the information gathered from the crash sensors buckle front seat belts, front side and off, the driver's seat position and passenger weight sensor track and the speed with which the Judges vehicle is slowing down, and if the driver and / or passengers buckle up.
With this information, the CRM is activated the seat belt pre-tensioners and determines how dual-stage airbags front screens.
New Ford Escape for the next anchor points are pre-tensioners front and side crash incidents languages. These technologies help to pull the belt tight to the hips in a fraction of a second most serious accidents.
The new side airbags deploy in the lower pelvic region, and chest and incorporate new ventilation technology that brings out only the small SUV segment.
The side vent airbag technology takes into account the size of the occupant, varying the pressure as small occupants withstand a lower pressure.
"In a side impact, which is preferred is a pressure on the bag side air than for an older person and a lower pressure for a small person," said Sean Ryan, supervisor of the restrictions. "This was not possible with previous systems. In the flight new Ford, the adjustment of the flow allows us to optimize the pressure on the side airbags."
The mouth of the tunnel is aligned with the shoulder area of the occupants. The largest of the passenger, the shoulder is coupled to the ventilation circuit and venting prevents through which the gas remains within the airbag. In small passenger, the effect is just the opposite: Since the shoulder of the passenger is below the orifice, the exit gas from the airbag.
Airbag driver uses a system of attachment shaped curve reconfigured that pulls down to create a pocket to help lessen the impact of the airbag on the chest of the driver and the ribs in frontal collisions. Implement, at the same time is a driver knee airbag - offered in the Ford Escape, the first time.
The new Ford Escape also includes the famous Safety Canopy ® System, which combines side curtain airbags and a rollover sensor to help protect outboard passengers in side impacts.
Inflators for airbags is close to the carrier between the lateral uprights, while the side impact sensors are positioned on each side of the vehicle. The rollover sensor detects a potential overlap of the Canopy and active safety. Air bags inflated to a maximum of six seconds to reduce accidents caused by multiple impacts or rollovers.
Technology
The new Ford Escape may be the most useful vehicle ever produced by Ford.Using hands-free technology ever offered in a Ford, the flight back helps customers load and unload equipment from the back door, without having to find a key, keep in touch, parallel parking, and avoid an accident in a parking lot .
Furthermore, on the road, the new Intelligent 4WD Ford engineering helps provide exceptional quality and excellent off-road traction, when the driver wants to leave the sidewalk.
Moreover, the proprietary technology that no competitor can match automatically reduces the speed of the vehicle in a curve too fast (Curve Control) or help out at one time (torque vector control) bind for the first time in a van in the Ford Escapeagain.
"Customers want technology that makes life easier," said Jason Sprawka, Escape marketing manager. "The new Escape has a lot of intuitive technology available, and helps that are completely without problems."
Get a kick out of the new intelligence
Leader of the segment, the first smart client focused on the characteristics of the new Ford Escape is the provision of hands-free power tailgate. A slight calcium at the center of the rear bumper system is activated, then the opening and closing of the rear door.
This allows a surface load fast, easy and convenient to keep the packages or the excavation of the keys to open the tailgate. The same process also closes the door.
The back door speakerphone is built by Ford's Intelligent Access with push button start that allows customers to unlock and start their cars without having to remove the key. When the blacksmith in his power - in their pockets, jacket, purse or briefcase - a simple pull on the door handle unlocks the vehicle. Once inside, the driver has only the brake pedal and press the power button to start the vehicle.
For hands-free power tailgate, two sensors in smart access system are on the rear bumper. Detects the stem of the driver, and the other detects the movement of the tailgate can kick your hands free.
The combination of the detection system keychain and cinnamon and leg movement is required to unlock and open the back door, the protection against accidental opening.
"The animals are running in the car, hitting bumps in the road or have a swirl of leaves under the vehicle on the road does not activate the back door," said Michael Becker, a systems engineer. "We designed the system so that the back door open when you want."
Moreover, the height of the rear door can be adjusted manually or programmed to meet specific customer needs. The rear door is open from 4 meters to 7 meters above the ground.
The new version of SYNC with MyFord touch
The latest version of SYNC ® with MyFord Touch ® connectivity driver technology to escape once again makes it easier to handle the tasks of information, control and adjust the settings.
"We listen to our customers and improve what they like MyFord touch," said Kenneth Williams, an engineer with systems integration. "In this update, the screens have a screen clean and bright. Words on the screens are larger and easier to read, the pressure areas on the screen look more like buttons, and made clearer roles for faster browsing .
"What separates MyFord Touch is that there are different ways that customers manage and control what they want via voice commands, menus are accessed through the steering wheel, touch screen, buttons, or buttons, whatever your choice."
Now, the corners of the main screens, telephone, navigation, entertainment and climate - that is labeled as such, and their color codes. The icons have a new look to better specify the features or functionality.
MyFord includes a standard 4-inch dashboard in all models of the Ford Escape.One 8-inch screen in the center console is standard on SEL and Titanium. All new location also offers the latest version of SYNC, which includes:
Voice-activated hands-free Bluetooth ® mobile connected call
Voice-activated hands-free control of a digital music player, connected via USB
911 Assist ™, the automated service calls are free for life emergency vehicle
Vehicle Health Report, the information service on-demand diagnostics and maintenance
Standard is a signature MyFord Sync Services, which extends the capabilities of voice control to include some cloud-based network services. These include turn-by-turn directions, traffic reports and find information for companies with a live operator intervention, if necessary.
MyFord Touch is available with navigation systems and Sony audio with 10 speakers and an electronic finish panel, designed by Sony.
New car technology package
First available for the Ford Escape is a pack of parking technology that can help take the anxiety of parallel parking and help prevent accidents. Included in the package are:
Active Park Assist
Blind Spot Information System (BLIS ®) with Cross Traffic Alert
Rain-sensing wipers
Park Assist Front
Rear parking sensors
Rear view camera
Ford Active Park Assist System helps you parallel park and without stress. With the touch of a button and enabled by EPAS (Electric Power Steering), the heritage of the park to help detect a parallel parking space with 10 sensors and automatically steer the vehicle in space without the driver having to touch the steering wheel. The driver controls the throttle gearbox, and brakes.
The technology of sensor-based activities in the Park Assist park classifications in the tightest, closest to the curb, and is faster and more accurate than its competitors based camera systems. The new Escape can parallel park in a space less than 18 meters in length - the length of the vehicle (less than 15 meters), more than 3 meters.
BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert helps the driver to change lanes or exit a parking lot with more confidence. BLIS alerts when it detects a vehicle in a blind spot and Cross Traffic Alert warns you of traffic incidents on the sides, like a copy of a parking space.
On the road driving experience significantly improved
Ford has developed an advanced intelligent system behind the new Ford Escape 4WD proactively to reconsider the conditions of about 20 times faster than it takes to open and close your eyes, adjust the distribution of power to the controller for precise handling and mixing traction at all times.
The use of advanced software and sensors, the system collects data from 25 external signals, such as wheel speed, the accelerator pedal position and the angle of the steering wheel to provide outstanding performance in the conduct of both humid conditions and dry, and excellent off-road traction.
Increased confidence when it enters and cornering is possible for the vector control and control technologies torque curve that are available together for the first time in a SUV in the release of the new Ford.
The system always divides proactively the torque produced by the kinematic chain between the front and rear. The division of the couple offers several advantages for the driver. First, the energy is transferred, which means that when a conductor sharp edges, the vehicle will be better follow the expected direction path. For example, if the vehicle is understeer - the tendency to go in the corners - the system automatically divides more torque to the rear wheels to help counter this effect and give a more neutral.
In the second place, and again in this new SUV are the feedback sensors, and software that calculates, on the basis of the steering angle of the driver, where the driver wants to go before the vehicle goes where, and make the corresponding division.
A kind of mini-computer uses all the contributions of a number of sensors and data, such as the lateral acceleration, the driver demand and the steering angle - information and processes for the vehicle to rotate in the direction of the driver wants to go . Ford's system is based on preventive actions and subtracts the amount of torque as needed through an electromagnetic clutch.
If, for example, the front of the vehicle is in ice and the back surface is in the system of all the drive wheels can send the entire kinematic pair can be produced on the back, put the power in which the driver needs.
All these adjustments, corrections and calculations are performed every 16 milliseconds, which is about 20 times faster than the blink of an eye.
Both the brain (control software) and muscles (again), developed in-house Ford.
Improved braking system, new technologies to add another level of confidence
Working in harmony with the new Intelligent 4WD Ford is an improved version of the torque vector control, first introduced with all-wheel drive vehicle.
Introduced in the new global Ford Focus, has been completely redesigned and recalibrated for the new location, the control torque vector adds an additional level of confidence for the driver. In a situation where it detects wheel slippage - the loss of adhesion of the inner wheel, for example - torque vectoring control transfers torque between the shaft to the outer wheel.
Torque vector control is activated when the driver is the accelerator, and uses sensors and software to calculate the yaw motion of the vehicle or its tendency to move left or right.
More often found on high performance cars, vector brake torque control of the vehicle used to simulate the effect of a differential, in equilibrium constant between the distribution of torque between the front wheels when cornering, with consequent adhesion and direction and the ability to reduce understeer.
The system works by using the control module of vehicle stability and to monitor the status of 100 times per second. Since the speed of vehicles through an angle, the system detects when the inside front wheel is starting to slip and applies a detectable amount of braking the wheel. This prevents the rotation of the wheel and is designed to transfer torque to the outer wheel, which has a better grip, keeping the traction control and management.
Unlike a system of traction control which reduces the engine power, the intervention of control is extremely thin pair of vectors, and may not even be perceived by the driver.
Other technologies useful additions to the new Ford escape include: Active Park Assist, Hill Start Assist and Brake Assist, as well as technology-based discharge known as Roll Stability Control ™ control and domain trailer.
The brakes offer better control when cornering
The new braking system helps the driver maintain control during cornering.Similar to the curve control function introduced in the new Explorer, the new braking system in the exhaust system can be automatically applied to all four wheels with brakes in order to assist the driver in curve too fast on a curve, and is always active.
The system will help in cutting speed, by reducing engine torque and braking on all four wheels, helping to avoid accidents. Freeway ramps and ramps in common situations where vehicles can go too fast for the curve. The system is completely automatic and can stop the vehicle faster than the most drivers can react - speed can be reduced by about 10 mph in about one second, allowing the vehicle to maintain its path.
