2024 Ford Escape Engine Options

Ultimately, the powertrain you end up with will come down to the trim you select and whether you outfit your Escape with EcoBoost® or Hybrid capability. Do you want some of the fuel efficiency granted by a hybrid powertrain, but also want the reliability of a traditional gas-powered engine? Try EcoBoost®! Or if you’re ready to leap toward full-on PHEV territory, Hybrid is the way to go, and we’re certain you’ll be happy with the Ford Escape hybrid mpg ratings!
