The 2025 Escape offers a range of powertrains tailored to different driving needs. The standard 1.5L EcoBoost® engine delivers 180 hp and 199 lbs.-ft. of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth and efficient performance. For drivers seeking more power, the available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine generates an impressive 250 hp and 280 lbs.-ft. of torque, ensuring quick acceleration and confident passing on highways.
