It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and comes with either front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive with AWD disconnect.

ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum models get the more powerful 2.0-liter EcoBoost® inline-4 engine. It delivers 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque and comes standard with all-wheel drive. This engine also increases the Escape’s towing capacity up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped with the available Class II Trailer Tow Package.

Selectable drive modes on all trims include Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Snow/Sand. Each mode adjusts the throttle response, shift points, and traction control systems to help match conditions.
