Escape Your Way: Comparing Powertrain Options The right engine makes all the difference in how your Escape feels on the road—and at the pump. Ford offers four distinct powertrain options across the 2025 Escape lineup: Efficient 1.5L Turbo Engine The Active and ST-Line trims feature a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive, this powertrain strikes the perfect balance between fuel efficiency and performance. All-wheel drive is available if you need extra traction for challenging weather or light off-road adventures. Performance-Focused 2.0L Turbo Engine Step up to the ST-Line Select or higher trims, and you'll get the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This engine jumps up to 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. All Wheel Drive comes standard, giving you confident handling and quicker acceleration, whether you're merging onto the highway or cruising winding roads. Hybrid Efficiency: The Best of Both Worlds Available on the ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum trims, the hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for 192 total horsepower. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) optimizes fuel economy, achieving 42 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. Front-wheel drive is standard, but the Platinum hybrid upgrades to all-wheel drive for enhanced capability. Plug-In Hybrid: Maximum Flexibility The Escape PHEV takes efficiency even further with a plug-in hybrid system that produces 210 horsepower and fuel economy as high as 44 mpg. This powertrain runs on pure electric power for short trips, then seamlessly switches to hybrid mode for longer drives—giving you the best of both worlds. Note that the PHEV is front-wheel drive only, without an all-wheel drive option. Explore Our Auto Financing Options When You Shop for a New Ford SUV in Florence!
