Engine Specifications

The 2024 Ford Escape is a powerful vehicle that offers four powertrains and three dynamic engine options. It delivers exceptional performance on the road and lets you choose from selectable drive modes like eco, sport, slippery, and normal for optimized traction and control.

Whether you prefer the gas, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid engine options, you can achieve excellent efficiency while driving. The 1.5L EcoBoost® inline three-cylinder (I3) engine can get up to 34 highway MPG, while the hybrid 2.5L Atkinson-cycle inline four-cylinder (I4) engine can get up to 42 city MPG. The plug-in hybrid 2.5L Atkinson-cycle I4 engine can achieve an EPA-estimated 101 combined MPGe, which means you can spend more time on the road and less time at the pump. See the accompanying chart for engine specifications.

Powertrains

Whether you’re exploring the urban jungle or cruising the open highway, the 2024 Ford Escape offers four impressive powertrains and two drivetrain options to help you tailor your performance to suit your needs. Want to get the most out of your time between fill-ups? The 2024 Escape offers impressively efficient hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, both of which use regenerative braking to store energy captured from braking for later use. The hybrid powertrain can be equipped on all models except the Active™ trim — which comes with the 1.5L EcoBoost I3 engine — and the Plug-in Hybrid trim. The latter comes standard with a plug-in hybrid powertrain as well as a Level 1 mobile power cord, which is compatible with any standard 120-volt outlet.

Front-wheel drive comes standard on Active, ST-Line, and Platinum models, with the option for intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) capabilities for increased traction and control. Intelligent AWD is standard on ST-Line Select and ST-Line Elite trims, and the Plug-in Hybrid model can only be equipped with FWD.

Packages Available

When you need more muscle on the go, the 2024 Ford Escape offers a Class II Trailer Tow Package to help you bring everything you need on your next adventure. Available on ST-Line, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and Plug-in Hybrid models, the Class II Trailer Tow Package lets you tow up to 3,500 pounds when equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost I4 engine — so you can opt to haul a small boat or trailer to your favorite vacation spot.
