The included warranty coverage, FordPass Rewards Points for maintenance, and the comprehensive inspection process mean youâre getting more for your money upfront and long-term.
Performance for the price is a strong point thanks to the 1.5L EcoBoost engine and 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a balance of power and economy thatâs rare among similarly priced AWD SUVs. Achieving 26 city and 32 highway MPG, the Escape helps save on fuel expenses during urban commutes or weekend trips.

Great SUV
By TucsonC | on 4/28/2026 7:31:49 PM
Bought my car brand new February 2023. It’s a 2022 model sports package. Love the way it handles. rarely uses gas as I do mostly in town errands. Smaller than my previous Non plug-in Ford Escape, but actually like it that way. Backseat does fold down and plenty of rear cargo room.… - 5.0

Great car

We have had our escape hybrid 5 years. I tell my friends you get free oil changes, tires and brake work for the life of the car. That's how much the savings in fuel amounts too! We drive 10,000 miles a year which add to the savings. The seats could be softer and ride smoother otherwise a great car!…
