Two Engine Options

The 2019 Ford Escape offers three engine options to help you find the one with the performance and efficiency you need. If you're looking for the motor generating the best fuel economy, check out the available 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine. It's equipped with Auto Start-Stop Technology to shut the engine off when idling at a stop sign or in traffic. With this technology you can expect an EPA-estimated 23 MPG city and 30 MPG highway, allowing you to take long road trips without having to stop often to fuel up. 

If you need your SUV to tow your lightweight travel trailer though, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost® outputs 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque to up towing capacity. When this high-powered motor is combined with the available Class II Trailer Tow Package, you'll be able to haul up to 3,500 pounds with ease.

With so much rear cargo room, you may find yourself with your hands full. An available hands-free, foot-activated liftgate allows you to keep your Intelligent Access key in your purse or pocket and easily open the rear tailgate with a simple wave of your foot. Therefore, you won't have to try to wiggle your arm free and can just load up quickly and hit the road.

Enjoy the ride more with the available Safe and Smart™ Package. This package adds the following safety systems to monitor the road around you and alert you to obstacles to help you avoid potential collisions:

• Blind Spot Information System® with Cross-Traffic Alert

Once you've safely navigated the highway and have reached your destination, available Enhanced Active Park Assist will help park your car for you. This advanced technology scans the area for suitable parking spots and after one is found, steers your SUV into the space. You only need to control the gear shifter, accelerator, and brakes, making for a convenient and pleasant parking experience, no matter how tight the space may be.
