Performance
The Ford Escape is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine that makes 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The front-wheel-drive variants can reach 60 mph from rest in as little as 8.4 seconds when equipped with the base engine. This engine is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission system.
There is also an available 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine for the new Escape that makes 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The engine accelerates the all-wheel-drive models from rest to 60 mph in as little as 6.9 seconds.
The standard electric power-assisted steering makes driving your Ford SUV easier by providing you with assisted steering when needed. If your Escape faces a curve and it's traveling at high speed, the curve control system corrects understeer and reduces the engine's torque to give you maximum control.
The Ford Escape's standard electronic traction control system helps you drive in various road conditions without losing traction. If you need to upgrade the off-road performance of the Base and Active models, you can install the optional permanent hubs and the automatic full-time all-wheel-drive system that gives you maximum traction and improved handling.
The front and rear anti-roll bars help the new Escape maintain a good balance between the front and rear wheels, which is essential for speed driving around the city. The standard gas-pressurized shock absorbers improve your ride quality by absorbing the impact from the bumps and other irregularities. With the available Class II Trailer Tow Package, you can tow up to 3,500 pounds through Manteca, CA.
