If you want to make a smart and safety buying, the 2018 Ford Escape will be definitely one of your first choices. In the segment where competition is tough, this small crossover comes with plenty of trumps. The original model came in 2000 and we have seen three generations of it so far. While the first two generations were designed in America, the current model is pretty European. It came in 2013 and it is pretty much the same model as Ford Kuga, which was designed in company’s European department in Germany. After three years of production, it received some updates last year. So, this fact indicates that the 2018 Escape probably won’t feature bigger changes. We expect its arrival somewhere late in the year, probably in December.
