The restyled fourth-generation Ford Escape is a five-door SUV offered with several powertrain approaches, from a compact turbocharged petrol unit to full hybrid and plug-in hybrid setups, so buyers can match running costs to daily driving.
Ford Escape engine options cover different priorities. The 1.5 AT is a downsized gasoline unit with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, keeping city driving simple. The 2.5 CVT hybrid pairs its variable transmission with all-wheel drive, a useful drivetrain choice when traction matters in poor weather.

Ford Escape battery capacity matters most on the 2.5 CVT plug-in hybrid, which uses a lithium-ion battery charged from an outlet and drives the front wheels. Short commutes can run largely on electricity, while the gasoline engine removes range anxiety on longer trips. The standard hybrid recharges itself while driving.
