Ford Escape Fuel Efficiency and Safety Ratings

Impressive Fuel Efficiency Across Engine Options
Catering to diverse driving preferences, the Ford Escape offers a range of powertrains. The basic 1.5-liter turbo engine generates 180 horsepower with front-wheel drive. If you want a better grip, you can get an all-wheel drive version. For more power, there’s a 2.5-liter turbo engine. This one produces 250 horsepower and comes with all-wheel drive for better grip on and off the road.
The plug-in hybrid version provides exceptional fuel economy for the environmentally conscious driver. The hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor for 192 total horsepower. The plug-in version can travel 37 all-electric miles, perfect for short trips or daily drives.
This compact SUV truly excels in fuel efficiency. While the basic engine achieves an impressive 26 to 28 miles per gallon overall, the hybrid variant surpasses it with an exceptional 40 miles per gallon. The Ford Escape saves you time and money at the pump.

Optimizing Efficiency With Smart Driving Modes
The Ford Escape enhances efficiency through its intelligent driving modes. These options cut costs and tailor your ride. Eco Mode fine-tunes throttle response and shift patterns for economical driving, whereas Normal Mode balances performance and efficiency for everyday use. Sport Mode amps up the throttle and holds gears for lively drives. The Eco-Coach provides helpful advice on efficient driving techniques, helping you become more skilled at saving fuel.
Some models include an all-wheel-drive disconnect system. This intelligent technology can disengage the drivetrain from the rear wheels when AWD is unnecessary, conserving energy and improving fuel economy. Hybrid models kick it up a notch with regenerative braking. This trick grabs power that’s usually lost when you slow down. The amount saved varies, but it can impact your overall fuel use significantly. All these features collaborate to deliver an enjoyable and economical experience.

Fuel Tank Capacity and Impressive Range
The Ford Escape’s fuel capacity varies strategically across its lineup. While gas models boast a capacious 15.7-gallon tank, the plug-in hybrid has a more compact 11.1-gallon reservoir. The smaller hybrid fuel capacity helps make the vehicle more fuel-efficient and shows that a bigger fuel capacity isn’t always better for fuel economy.
Boasting impressive range, this SUV stretches every drop of fuel to its limit. The 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine can go up to 471 miles without stopping, while the more robust 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine can travel 440 miles. This combination of power and fuel-saving is excellent for drivers.
The plug-in hybrid model combines gas and electric power for up to 520 miles. Whether you drive to work every day or take long trips, this vehicle has the range you need.
The Ford Escape is a top pick among small SUVs because its engines use fuel efficiently. It’s not just about the fuel capacity — it’s about how the vehicle uses the gas, and the Escape does this very well.
