Three Out-Of-This-World Engines

The Escape comes standard with a 2.5-liter engine that is rated for 168 horsepower, which should be more than enough to get you around town.

Finally, if you’re the type of motorist who can never get enough engine power, you can invest in the optional 2.0-liter engine that produces an outstanding 245 horsepower.

Performance Features for Adventure

The great thing about driving the 2019 Ford Escape is that you’ll have access to a variety of performance features built for adventure.

With the top powertrain and the available Class II Trailer Tow Package, you’ll be able to haul up to 3,500 pounds.

The 2019 Escape is also available with an intelligent 4WD system that makes tackling the toughest roads a breeze. Every 16 milliseconds, this four-wheel-drive system checks both road conditions and your traction. If the system detects a loss of traction or slippery conditions, it can transfer torque wherever it’s needed to make sure your wheels maintain their grip on the road.
