The ford escape is a popular crossover vehicle launched early last decade and has been around for quite some time. One crucial question Americans want an answer to is the types of engines found in these cars.
All ford escapes come with a four-cylinder engine of different versions. They are:
• 1.5L turbocharged EcoBoost engine with auto start technology: This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which distributes power to all four wheels.
• 2.0L turbocharged EcoBoost engine with auto start technology: The escape with this trim level comes with Class II Trailer Tow Package, enabling it to tow up to 3500 lbs.
• Hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle inline-four engine: The mentioned power train has an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission and an electric motor.
• Plugin 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle inline-four engine: This has an AC charging port that uses 110V or 240V outlet socket. Using the 110V outlet will take roughly 11 hours to charge while the 240V takes 3.5hrs.
