Exterior Styling
For 2024, the Ford Escape is available in six trim levels: the Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and Plug-In Hybrid, each with unique styling cues. The Escape’s sleek and modern design stands out on the city streets. It has bold front-end styling, a sculpted aerodynamic profile, and a sporty rear design. LED signature lighting and the available LED headlights with a full-width light bar will get you noticed day and night.
Choice of Efficient Engines
Under the hood of the Active and ST-Line trims is a perky 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels or available all-wheel-drive system. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The ST-Line Select and above feature a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo that sends 280 pound-feet of torque to the standard AWD system.
All but the Active trim are available with a frugal AWD hybrid powertrain that pairs a 2.5-liter engine with two electric motors and a continuously variable transmission for a total system output of 192 horsepower. You can also opt for a plug-in hybrid variant that produces 210 horsepower. The Plug-In Hybrid is only available with front-wheel drive.
Performance
With its compact dimensions, the Escape effortlessly navigates city streets and fits into tight parking spaces. Its punchy performance and sharp handling make it fun to drive whether you’re on the daily commute or heading out of town on a road trip. Selectable drive modes — including Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Normal — let you tailor the performance and handling to suit your mood and the road conditions.
The base engine returns an EPA-estimated 27 mpg for city driving and 34 mpg on the highway. The 2.0-liter turbo gives you up to 23 and 36 mpg for city and highway driving.
