Which Ford Escape Powertrain Is Right for You?
Choosing the right Escape starts with understanding how each powertrain fits your routine.
The Ford Escape EcoBoost models are a great match for drivers who want traditional gasoline performance with modern turbocharged efficiency. The 1.5L EcoBoost engine delivers confident power for commuting, errands, and highway driving, while the available 2.0L EcoBoost engine adds more horsepower and towing capability for drivers who need extra strength.
The Ford Escape Hybrid takes efficiency a step further by combining a gasoline engine with an electric motor. Thanks to regenerative braking technology, the hybrid battery automatically recharges while driving, meaning there's no need to plug in.
For drivers with shorter daily commutes, the Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) provides the ability to drive using electric power for shorter trips when the battery is charged. When additional range is needed, the gasoline engine seamlessly provides support for longer journeys. Overall, it offers up to 101 combined MPGe.
With distinct powertrain options, the Escape makes it easier to find the right balance between efficiency, performance, and convenience.
