Ford Escape Engine Specs & Fuel Economy

One of the defining characteristics of the 2022 Ford Escape is its variety of powertrain options.

Family adventures are more fun with the toys in tow — and with the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine, you can haul up to 3,500 pounds.

If you’re looking to spend more time on the road and less on stops for fuel, then the plug-in hybrid Escape gets an EPA-estimated 37 miles of electric range before switching to normal hybrid performance. And it recharges in as little as 3.5 hours with a Level 2 charger.

Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive (AWD) with AWD disconnect is available on gas and hybrid powertrain Escape models. Customize the performance of your Escape to the conditions at hand with selectable drive modes, including Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand modes.
