When you're looking for your next vehicle, fuel economy is important. Getting good gas mileage not only saves you money but keeps you on the road longer. One vehicle that will give you plenty of space and fuel economy to match is the Ford Escape.
Our team at New Holland Ford has put together this page to help drivers from New Holland, Lancaster, and Reading, PA, learn all about the Ford Escape's impressive fuel economy.
The Ford Escape offers four engine options, two gas options, and two hybrid options. Each of them offers impressive fuel economy and power, so you won't be disappointed no matter which one you choose.
The standard engine in the Escape is a 1.5L EcoBoost® engine that provides 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. With standard front-wheel drive, the 1.5L EcoBoost® engine gets an EPA-estimated 28 city and 34 highway MPG.
The second gas engine offers a bit more power. The 2.0L EcoBoost® engine offers an impressive 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, you'll get standard all-wheel drive. This combination gives you an EPA-estimated 23 city and 31 highway MPG.
The next two engines are hybrid or plug-in hybrid 2.5L engines. You have the option of either front or all-wheel drive with the non-plug-in hybrid engine and an EPA-estimated 44 city and 37 highway MPG. You'll also get 165 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque for each engine.
Both gas engines come standard with Auto Start-Stop Technology. This technology is designed to improve fuel efficiency by lowering fuel consumption. When your Escape comes to a stop, the engine shuts off to save fuel. When you step on the accelerator or your foot leaves the brake pedal, the engine will turn back on.
To customize how you drive, the Escape also comes with selectable drive modes. This system improves your driving experience and increases traction on different road services. The drive modes are Sport, Normal, Slippery, Deep Snow/Sand, and Eco. Eco mode delivers increased fuel efficiency.
When you're on the highway that can help save you some fuel, a helpful feature is the available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go feature. This feature is part of the Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology umbrella, so it not only keeps you safe but saves you fuel.
The Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go system allows you to set a speed like normal cruise control. Then, the system monitors traffic speed, and as it slows down, your Escape will slow or even stop. Then, as traffic begins moving again, your Escape will accelerate back up to its preset speed.
As you can see, the Ford Escape's fuel economy makes it an impressive SUV. There are plenty of other features to discover. If you're in the New Holland, Lancaster, and Reading, PA, areas and want to see how the Escape handles itself and other exciting features, drivers can visit New Holland Ford.
