Powertrain Specs & Performance Features

To get started, let’s go right under the hood of the 2019 Escape.

The standard 2.5L i-VCT engine produces 168 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque capabilities. For those who want a bit more oomph, there are two other available engines for you to choose from. The available 1.5L EcoBoost® engine produces 179 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque capabilities. Finally, with the available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine, you’re going to get 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque.

You’ll be able to tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped with the available 2.0L EcoBoost engine and Class II Trailer Tow Package.

For those who are looking for advanced traction control, the available Intelligent 4WD System can provide you with just that. It will monitor the terrain you’re traveling over and then transfer torque from front to rear depending on the conditions.

Interior Cabin & Cargo Space

You’ll be able to comfortably sit up to five passengers within the 98.7 cubic feet of passenger volume, which allows everyone space to stretch out and relax. When both rows of seats are up, you’re going to get 34 cubic feet of cargo volume. If you need a bit more cargo space, no worries, just fold down the 60/40 split rear seat backs to access up to 68 cubic feet of storage room.

The available hands-free foot-activated liftgate makes loading and unloading a breeze because you’ll be able to open your trunk with a simple kick of your foot under the back bumper.

Ford Safe and Smart™ Package

The available driver-assistant safety features in the Ford Safe and Smart™ Package were designed to be a second set of eyes on the road ahead. These features will warn you of impending collisions and vehicles in your blind spot, improve your vision, and help with backing up and parallel parking.

• Driver-activated front rain-sensing windshield wipers
• Auto high-beam headlamps
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
