Ford is currently engineering its global C-platform to spawn a trio of crossovers that will include a new Lincoln model, as well as the replacements for the popular Escape SUV and European-market Kuga. As we all know, the C-platform is the modular small car architecture underpinning the 2012 Ford Focus and U.S.-bound C-Max MPV, and soon we will get to see it underpinning these new crossover models.
Today we have spy shots of the 2012 Ford Escape, the next-generation of the Blue Oval�s compact soft-roader, which is expected to hit showrooms early next year.
We got a preview of the styling direction Ford is taking for its new crossover with the unveiling of the attractive Vertrek Concept at January�s 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Building on the heritage of both the Escape and Kuga, the Vertrek pairs a sleeker, more modern shape with a slightly larger size.
The concept also gave us a preview of the powerplant destined for the 2012 Escape, namely, an EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder mill. That will be one of two engines offered, and may replace the optional 3.0-liter V-6 found in the current model. The other engine is likely to be an evolution of the current Escape's 2.5-liter four.
