Power and Performance
Ford made some upgrades and changes to the 2020 Ford Escape to increase the output and make it more enjoyable to drive than the outgoing model. One of these changes was adding a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost turbocharged three-cylinder engine that rates at 190 pound-feet of torque and 181 horsepower. This new unit includes a cylinder deactivation system that shuts down a cylinder when the demand for power drops. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which is also an upgrade over the six-speed automatic on the outgoing model.
If that’s not enough power for you, the Escape is available with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This unit makes 280 pound-feet of torque and 250 horsepower. Eco-friendly buyers may also want to consider the hybrid version of the SUV, which includes a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors. This powertrain uses an electronic continuously variable transmission.

This suite includes many innovative features, including lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, pre-collision detection with automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, and automatic high-beam control.

Appealing Interior
Ford also modified the body style of the 2020 Escape, increasing both the length and width, which added more cabin space. Both the front and rear rows of seating have more shoulder and hip space than the 2019 model. The cabin also features a sliding and reclining rear row. Additional standard features include cloth upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with integrated audio controls. Tech features include a six-speaker audio system, Ford’s SYNC infotainment system, an 8-inch touch screen, and several USB ports.
As you move through the higher trim levels, you can get more appealing features. Some of these include a wireless charging pad, power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, a premium 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system with a subwoofer, satellite radio, a heated steering wheel, ambient interior lighting, and a universal garage door opener.
