Performance

Standard power for the Ford Escape Active and ST-Line trims comes from a peppy 1.5-liter EcoBoost® turbo-three engine, sending 181 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is also available for Silverton shoppers seeking more surefooted handling and control in various conditions.

Are you looking for something more potent to propel your Aumsville adventures? ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum trims upgrade to a 2.0-liter EcoBoost® turbo-four, increasing output to 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque). AWD is standard in Select and Elite and optional for Platinum models. If efficiency is high on your priorities list, the Escape Platinum and all ST-Line trims offer an optional 2.5-liter hybrid (192 horsepower), achieving an EPA-rated 39 mpg in combined city/highway driving.1

Ford Escape PHEV

Are you interested in electric vehicles but unsure about relying solely on battery power? The Ford Escape PHEV is an excellent alternative. It combines the 2.5-liter hybrid engine with a more powerful motor to produce 210 horsepower. It also utilizes a larger 14.4-kWh battery, helping it achieve an EPA-estimated 105 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent). Plus, with an impressive 37 miles of electric-only range, it's a great way to experience EV driving without worrying about range anxiety.1

The Escape PHEV is easy to live with and can reach a full charge in around 3.5 hours with Level 2 (240V) equipment. However, you don't necessarily need to install a special setup to enjoy the electrified benefits. Simply plug into a standard 120V household-style wall outlet, and you can replenish the battery overnight (~10.5 hours).

Accommodations and Practicality

The Ford Escape's interior is open and inviting, sporting a sleek, modern design, comfortable seats, and ample room for both front and rear occupants. The sliding second row augments the Escape's versatility, allowing you to prioritize rear legroom or increase cargo capacity from 33.5 to 37.5 cubic feet. When you need to maximize capacity for your Stayton outings, you can fold the rear seats to reveal 65.4 cubic feet. Depending on the configuration, the Ford Escape offers numerous available comforts and conveniences, including:

  • Heated, power-adjustable front seats
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
