DETROIT -
The redesigned Ford Escape is a smaller SUV that needs to fill a big void.
The Escape that goes on sale this month replaces an older version that helped invent the pint-sized SUV category in the early 2000s. It was a huge hit for Ford, with more than 2 million sales over the last decade, and it went toe-to-toe with popular models like the Honda CR-V, Jeep Liberty and Toyota RAV4.
If the new, sharper Escape does what Ford wants it to do - unseat the CR-V - it will sit atop one of the fastest-growing vehicle segments.
Ford's chief U.S. sales analyst says small SUVs are the only vehicles that have returned to pre-recession sales levels. More than 1.8 million of them were sold in 2011, around 14 percent of all sales. Some analysts predict they'll climb to 18 percent by 2015. A decade ago, small utilities made up just 5 percent of sales.
