Washougal, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2012 -- Getting from point A to point B without frequent stops at point G (the gas station) is important to almost every driver. Westlie Ford in Camas, WA is proud to announce to drivers near Portland that doing so just became easier thanks to the all-new 2013 Ford Escape.

Boasting 33 MPG highway and 23 in the city, the 2013 Ford Escape has the best highway mark for any crossover or SUV when using an automatic transmission. It is powered by a 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 178 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.

Every 2013 Ford Escape comes equipped with a standard six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is the default option with all-wheel drive being available on all models except the Ford Escape S.

The fuel-conscientious 1.6-liter engine is standard equipment for the medium grade Ford Escape SE and SEL and optional for the ultimate Titanium trim. Drivers can also choose to opt for a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that comes with the Escape S or the Titanium’s 240 hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.

No matter which engine Portland drivers select, the 2013 Ford Escape will deliver over 30 MPG on the highway with front-wheel drive.
