2020 Ford Escape

In the competitive niche of compact SUVs, the Ford Escape is a huge success. For the year 2020, it has been completely overhauled, giving it an even more distinctive look, and offering an even more efficient and sophisticated version. Because the Ford Escape, despite its small size, is also an interesting option for active people looking for a different and comfortable vehicle.

The new Ford Escape has grown in size. It adds a few millimeters to his wheelbase, and some others to the overall length. To propel this new redesigned sport ute, Ford has relied on a 1.5-liter turbo engine of 180 horsepower. Balanced and economical, this engine is associated with an automatic 8-speed gearbox. A 4-cylinder 2.0 turbo engine of 200 horsepower is also offered on high-end versions. All versions are available with all-wheel drive.

The big novelty of the 2020 Ford Escape, however, are the two hybrid versions. The regular Ford Escape Hybrid is equipped with a 2.5-liter Atkinson four-cylinder engine block, a generator engine and a continuously variable automatic transmission. With its 198 horsepower, the hybrid version can be chosen with a traction or all wheel drive. A rechargeable version is also offered. Only available with a front wheel drive, it has about 209 horsepower and a 14.4 kWh battery that can be recharged in 10 or 11 hours on a household power outlet, or 3.5 hours on a level 2 charger. The autonomy in 100% electric driving is estimated at 48 kilometers.
