Ford Escape MPG

Compact SUVs like the Ford Escape have grown steadily in popularity. One of the reasons for that is their combination of fuel efficiency, versatility, and performance. The Escape certainly delivers on each front, but you may still be wondering if it has the fuel economy you need for your commutes through Cincinnati, OH; Covington, KY; and Newport, KY.

To help you find the answer, our team at Fuller Ford created this guide to the Ford Escape MPG. Its base configuration boasts an EPA-estimated 27 city/33 highway/30 combined MPG, but with a variety of engines and configurations that number could change. Keep reading to see how the other numbers measure up!

Ford Escape Gas Mileage

The Ford Escape comes standard with a 1.5L EcoBoost® engine. It generates 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. It's partnered up with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Together, they achieve an EPA-estimated 27 city/33 highway/30 combined MPG.

This engine can also be paired to the available Intelligent AWD. It will give you more traction on slick roads and shifts the MPG rating to an EPA-estimated 26 city/31 highway/28 combined MPG. It also includes All-Wheel Drive Disconnect, so you can opt for efficient front-wheel drive (FWD) cruising when all-wheel drive (AWD) power is not needed.

If you need more power, you'll want to opt for the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine. It cranks out 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. It can only be paired with Intelligent AWD and boasts an EPA-estimated 23 city/31 highway/26 combined MPG.

Ford Escape Hybrid MPG

If you're looking to enhance the Ford Escape MPG rating, you can opt for one of its hybrid powertrains. The first is the available 2.5L iVCT Atkinson Cycle I-4 engine. It generates 200 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque.

When paired with FWD, the Escape Hybrid achieves an EPA-estimated 44 city/37 highway/41 combined MPG. The Intelligent AWD, however, changes its MPG rating to an EPA-estimated 43 city/37 highway/40 combined MPG.

You can also opt for all-electric MPG and plug-in convenience with the available 2.5L iVCT Atkinson Cycle I-4 Plug-In Hybrid engine. Plus, when using a 240-volt, Level 2 charger, you'll have a full charge in as little as 3.5 hours.

Adventure with the Ford Escape MPG

Now that you know how far the Ford Escape MPG can take you, it's time to learn more about what you can do with all that fuel efficiency.

First, the Ford Escape offers five Selectable Drive Modes that optimize performance to better suit your driving conditions. There's even an Eco Mode that will help give your MPG rating a boost.

You'll also have plenty of power to bring along toys or a light camper with the Ford Escape. It boasts a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Plus, when you have cargo that doesn't require a trailer, there's 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front seats and an available hands-free foot-activated liftgate to make loading up a breeze.
