The innovative hands-free liftgate

**Embargoed until 12:01 a.m. EDT, Wed., Nov. 16, 2011.** 2013 Ford Escape: The new Escape, which makes its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on Nov. 16, will be the first SUV to use gesture-based technology – similar to that found in video games – to open the rear liftgate. A gentle kicking motion under the center of the rear bumper activates the system and raises the liftgate. The same kicking motion closes the liftgate as well.
