2021 Ford Escape MPG
When you’re driving a fuel-efficient vehicle, like the Ford Escape, you might even forget to take a look at fuel data because you’re having so much fun. Of course, eventually, a trip to the pump will be required to keep moving.
The good news for Rockwall, Mesquite, and Garland, TX, drivers, however, is that the Escape provides outstanding fuel economy. Rockwall Ford is looking closer at Ford Escape MPG, so you know exactly when it will be time to fill up.
Ford Escape Fuel Economy
The Escape is equipped with a standard 1.5L EcoBoost® I-3 engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology. This tech can shut an engine cylinder down if it’s not needed and only reactivates when you need it. This is done seamlessly to help maintain a smooth ride.
With this engine, you’ll receive an EPA-estimated fuel economy of:
- 26 city and 31 highway MPG with all-wheel drive (AWD)
- 28 city and 34 highway MPG with front-wheel drive (FWD)
This engine also produces 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque.
You may, however, want a bit more power for your drives. If so, you may opt for the 2.0L EcoBoost® I-4 engine, which also features Auto Start-Stop Technology. Thanks to the steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, this engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift®, which puts shifting in your hands.
This engine is only available with AWD, and you’ll receive an EPA-estimated 23 city and 31 highway MPG with it.
Seek Out Ford Escape Hybrid Technology
The two Ford Escape engines we’ve mentioned will certainly do the job for you. However, you may want to maximize fuel economy, and the best way to do that is by choosing the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid engine. In terms of fuel economy, you’ll get:
- AWD: EPA-estimated 43 city and 37 highway MPG
- FWD: EPA-estimated 44 city and 37 highway MPG
This engine delivers up to 200 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. To give you some options in terms of a hybrid engine, you have the choice of a hybrid engine and a plug-in hybrid engine, which you can recharge at home.
Everything You Need for the Road Ahead
Once you’re inside the Ford Escape cabin, you’ll have everything needed for your drives. For instance, the available leather-trimmed front bucket seats create a comfortable environment in the Titanium trim.
The calibrated standard rotary great shift dial is easy to use, streamlining the center console design and freeing up space for a better front-row experience.
When it comes to tech, the Escape has you covered. The available 8-inch LCD touchscreen is easy to use, with the ability to link a navigation app to track your destination or choose a new song. The available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster features a wealth of vehicle information as soon as the wheels are in motion.
