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.
