2013 Ford Escape First Drive Review: Is It Safe
The 2013 Ford Escape has yet to be crash tested by either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), but it should earn better marks than the current model did (which includes a three-star overall rating from NHTSA and a Marginal side-impact rating from IIHS). All 2013 Ford Escape models come standard with seven airbags, adjustable active front head restraints, daytime running lights (DRL), electronic brake-force distribution with brake assist, four-wheel anti-lock disc brake system, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC) and tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
