What is the MPG of the 2020 Ford Escape?

The all-new 2020 Ford Escape has one of the highest small SUV fuel economy ratings. Its fresh re-engineering is focused on maximum driving range as well as increasing interior space on the hybrid models.

Ford achieved its best fuel ratings yet thanks in part to its cylinder deactivation technology, which shuts down unnecessary cylinders to conserve more fuel, particularly when coasting.

With a choice of three engines (two three-cylinder and a four-cylinder) as well as two hybrids (conventional and plug-in), there is an impressive range of performance options in the 2020 Ford Escape lineup. Of course, upgrading to the SEL and Titanium trims also bring sport- or luxury-oriented interior and exterior features, too.

2020 Ford Escape Driving Range

Each 2020 Ford Escape model can drive at least 400 miles on a full tank. The breakdown gives more miles to the efficient hybrid engines.

The plug-in hybrid can run for 37 miles on a fully-charged lithium-ion battery before switching to fuel.

The hybrid engines come with settings that allow drivers to choose when and how to utilize their electric capacity. Auto EV selects automatically, while EV Now and EV Later allow drivers to use the electric power when they choose. This can be very helpful for long drives with gas station “deserts.”

New for 2020 is the EV Charge mode, which charges the battery while driving.

  • 2.0L SEL & Titanium: Approx. 410 miles
