2024 Ford Escape: Performance and Power

The first powertrain available in the 2024 Ford Escape is a 1.5-liter three-cylinder unit that provides 180 horsepower and 199 pounds of torque. A powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged unit generates 250 horsepower and 280 pounds of torque, while the third option is a hybrid 2.5-liter engine that pairs with two electric motors to deliver 192 horsepower and 155 pounds of torque. Finally, a plug-in hybrid 2.5-liter variant is also available, pumping 210 horsepower and 155 pounds of torque.

Gas-powered models of the 2024 Escape come with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid variants of this compact SUV get a continuously variable transmission. When it comes to fuel consumption, the 1.5-liter gas engine with FWD is rated for an EPA-estimated 27 miles per gallon in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. The thriftiest Escape, however, is the PHEV model, which earns impressive EPA estimates of 101 MPGe combined.

Safety, Space, and Comfort

The 2024 Escape boasts a five-star NHTSA safety rating and comes with a host of tech features and driver-assist technologies that give you peace of mind wherever you go. Some of the standard features of this two-row SUV include tire pressure monitoring, AdvanceTrac with roll stability control, torque vectoring control, automatic high-beam headlamps, and a rearview camera.

Every Escape offers supportive and comfortable seating for five adults, with plenty of legroom both in the front seats and in the rear row. Handsomely equipped with premium materials only, this Ford SUV also boasts 60/40-split foldable rear seats, which increase its cargo capacity and provide enough space for about 20 carry-on suitcases.

Connectivity and Infotainment

Another feature that makes the new Escape a great vehicle for your family adventures is its modern infotainment system, which runs Ford’s Sync 4 infotainment software and offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. While base trim levels come with an eight-inch touchscreen, a 13.2-inch touchscreen is also available.
