It's also offered in multiple performance levels, including a potent turbo-four, a fuel-efficient hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid with impressive electric-only capability. The Ford Escape is ideal for drivers seeking comfort, practicality, and technology with city-friendly maneuverability. Shoppers from Midland, TX, to Roswell, NM, can find it for sale or lease at Carlsbad Ford. Here's a quick look at a few highlights.
Performance Options
The Ford Escape's standard motivation comes from a responsive, efficient 1.5-liter turbo-three with 180 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum models provide livelier daily drives with a 2.0-liter turbo-four (250 hp, 280 lb-ft). All-wheel drive is standard in Select and Elite and available for all other tiers.
A 192-horsepower hybrid is available in ST-Line and higher grades for Hobbs drivers seeking even greater fuel economy. Finally, there's the Escape Plug-in Hybrid (210 horsepower). This standalone trim boasts an EPA-estimated 37 miles of electric-only range, making it a great way to experience EV driving without switching to 100% battery power.
Accommodations
The Ford Escape's cabin is open and inviting, with cozy seats, attractive design details, and plenty of head and leg room in both rows. The sliding rear seats enhance versatility, moving back for extra rear legroom or forward for expanded storage (33.5 to 37.5 cubic feet).
