Of course, those numbers are nothing like the 32 mpg combined rating of the late, lamented Escape Hybrid (the front-wheel drive model), which went out of production after the 2012 model year.
Or if you want the bigger 240-hp, 2.0-liter engine but can forgo the AWD, you'll also find a 25-mpg rating. The most fuel-efficient Escape is the front-wheel drive model with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine, rated at 26 mpg combined.Īdd all-wheel drive to the 1.6-liter model, and the combined number drops 1 mpg to 25 mpg. Rather to our surprise, our 2013 Escape was EPA-rated at just 24 mpg combined (21 mpg city, 28 mpg highway). We hope to test lesser Escapes in the future. So right now, our gas mileage test only applies to this engine and drive configuration. This is the top-of-the-line Escape, with a sticker price of almost $35,000-against the starting price of $23,365 for the almost nonexistent 2.5-liter Escape base model.Īfter surveying a number of auto writers, it appears that in many cities (including ours), Ford only gives out the nicest, priciest Escape models for media drives. We spent six days with a pale green ("Ginger Ale Metallic") 2013 Ford Escape Titanium 4WD with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine.
