New-look Ford Escape debuts at LA Auto Show

Ford has unveiled an updated version of its popular Escape SUV on the first press day of the Los Angeles International Auto Show.


The Escape, America's best-selling SUV, will be released in the U.S. and around the world next year, renamed the Ford Kuga in Europe and China.


It has been made considerably more efficient, with fuel economy up to five mpg better than its predecessor and a choice of new 1.6 and 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines helping to deliver what Ford projects will be the best fuel economy of any compact SUV.
