Ford has completely redesigned the Escape compact crossover for 2020. Now, it offers the versatility and space you want in an SUV as well as the smooth handling you’d expect from a sports sedan. But that’s not all. The hybrid version of the 2020 Escape comes in two quality trim levels — the SE Sport Hybrid and Titanium Hybrid. Here are some of the features of the 2020 Escape hybrid that should make it your first choice.
Stylish Exterior
The 2020 Ford Escape is longer, wider, and lower, giving it a sportier stance. With its sloping roofline, flowing profile, and efficient underbody styling, the automobile is more aerodynamic than ever before. Besides, its trapezoidal grille is inspired by the Mustang, while the Ford GT-style lower front end complement the Escape’s sporty appearance.
The SE Sport Hybrid features a black mesh grille, front and rear skid plates, ebony black-painted alloy wheels, and dual chrome exhaust tips. Additionally, configurable daytime running lights and LED signature lighting make the car stand out on any street or highway.
Stepping up to the Titanium Hybrid gets you LED fog lights, stylish chrome-trimmed windows, grille, 19-inch wheels, body-color mirrors, and black roof rails. What’s more, the hands-free foot-activated liftgate gives you easy access to the generous cargo area.
Hybrid Power
Hybrid Escape models feature a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle engine paired with an 88-kW electric motor, with a seamlessly shifting CVT transferring power to the front wheels. To optimize your electric driving, the Escape hybrids have four electric-vehicle modes — Auto EV, EV Now, EV Later, and EV Charge.
Impressively, the liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery is less than one third the size of its predecessor and is cleverly located on the underside of the car so that you don’t lose valuable cargo space.
Now, you can confidently handle challenging road conditions thanks to the available all-wheel drive (AWD). When AWD isn’t needed, the system can disable the rear axle for improved economy.
Interior Comfort and Versatility
Inside the Escape hybrids, you have plenty of room for five people and lots of luggage. The all-new sliding second-row gives you the option of best-in-class legroom or additional cargo space of up to 34.4 cubic feet. With the rear seats folded flat, you have up to 60.8 cubic feet for your gear.
Standard interior niceties include a power driver’s seat, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a rotary gear shift dial, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Ford Co-Pilot360 offers pre-collision assist with automatic braking, blind spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, and a lane-keeping system.
The SE Sport Hybrid has the intuitive SYNC 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touch screen, smartphone integration, voice recognition, and six-speaker audio with satellite radio. However, the Titanium Hybrid takes things up a notch by adding remote start, leather upholstery, a power passenger seat, a heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, voice-activated navigation, active parking assistance, and 10-speaker B&O audio.
