But it's the Escape's brakes that have it trailing the competition. And folding that backseat is a multistep hassle compared to the simple flip-down design of other crossovers. Impressive as all that might be, potential buyers should know that the 2012 Ford Escape nonetheless lacks a few key items offered by most of its rivals, such as a telescoping steering wheel and a sliding/reclining backseat. The Ford Escape also continues to be the only model in its class that's offered as a hybrid, which delivers about 30 mpg in combined driving. In addition the Escape now offers Auto Park, a Ford system that enables the Escape to identify a likely parallel parking spot and then steer into the slot while you just tend to the gas and brake. Among the latter innovations is Sync, the affordable voice-activated interface for audio features. Indeed it's consistently been among the top-selling vehicles thanks to its handsome styling, spirited performance and numerous high-tech features.
Despite its aged design, it remains a very popular vehicle among compact crossover consumers. That's not to say the Escape has been benched for 2012. The 2012 Ford Escape is not exactly one of them, however, as this long-serving platform carries on unchanged until the appearance of a complete redesign slated for next year. Nowadays, Ford is hitting more home runs, and without any chemical augmentation, either.
