PERFORMANCE
Power to do more
Responsive, nimble and more than capable of tackling tough road conditions - almost nothing is off limits to the Escape. A choice of cutting-edge EcoBoost engines are designed so you'll spend more time exploring and less time at the fuel pump.
The Power of Choice
Escape's 1.5L & 2.0L EcoBoost™ engines combine turbocharging and direct injection technology to maximise power from every compression while helping you save on fuel. Enjoy all the low-end torque you need to effortlessly haul virtually any family-sized load.

Auto Start-Stopescape-performance-2
Why waste fuel at idle? Escape knows when you've stopped at lights or stuck in traffic and shuts down the engine automatically. When you're ready to drive again, just press the accelerator and the engine restarts.
Intelligent All-Wheel Driveescape-performance-3
For greater control in challenging conditions, the intelligent All-Wheel Drive system is designed to monitor Escape's performance and adjusts the delivery of torque to each wheel every 16 milliseconds.
Paddle Shifters
Similar to gear shifters used by racing drivers, Escape's Paddle Shifters allow you to make smooth and effortless gear changes without taking your hands off the wheel or using a clutch.
Active Grille Shutter
When it comes to fuel efficiency, a great engine is just the beginning. Escape features an Active Grille Shutter which closes to reduce aerodynamic ‘drag’ and opens to help cool the engine when required – so you save even more on fuel.
Torque Vectoring Control
Escape is engineered to handle all life's twists and turns. On winding roads or when manoeuvring tight bends, Torque Vectoring Control transfers torque to the wheels with the most grip, to help enhance control and virtually
eliminate under-steer.
