Fourth-Generation Used Escape: 2020-Current Model

The latest generation of Escape crossovers is known for its roomy, comfortable seating, refined performance, and intuitive technology. There’s even an available hybrid engine that helps you achieve 40 mpg combined.

You’ll love the fourth-generation used Escape’s tech lineup, too. Standard safety aids include blind-spot monitoring, forward collision mitigation, and lane departure mitigation. The SYNC 3 infotainment system is standard for all but the base model, giving you access to an 8-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Compared to previous Escapes, these models are both more powerful and more efficient. Throughout the trim lineup, you’ll find three engine options:

• Standard turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine (181 horsepower, 190 lb-ft of torque) + eight-speed automatic transmission
• Optional for SE, Stand for Titanium: 2.5L hybrid powertrain (200 total hp) + continuously variable transmission
• Optional for SEL, Titanium: Turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 280 lb-ft)

Over the years, this generation has seen a few upgrades. Here are the important changes, according to model year:

• 2023: Possible new styling, inside and out. The latest SYNC 4 infotainment system will be on offer, with bigger touchscreens and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• 2021: Models with adaptive cruise control now include a traffic sign recognition system. The SEL trim model is available with the hybrid powertrain.

Third-Generation Used Escape: 2013-2019

In their heyday, this collection of Escape crossovers were the best-in-class option. Today, these used compact crossovers are still an excellent choice, with roomy cabins, modern tech and safety features, and lots of creature comforts.

Compared to the previous generation, these Escape models are slightly wider, thanks to a 2.8-inch longer wheelbase. Ford also priced up the cabin materials and added a few niceties, such as the newly available hands-free power liftgate and the MyFord Touch infotainment system. (MyFord Touch was replaced by SYNC 3 for the 2016 model year.)

Throughout this generation, shoppers could choose from three engine options, with availability depending trim level:

• Standard 2.5L four-cylinder engine (168 horsepower, 167 lb-ft of torque)
• Turbocharged 1.6L inline four-cylinder engine (178 hp, 184 lb-ft)
• Turbo 2.0L inline four-cylinder engine (240 hp, 270 lb-ft)

Here’s a look at the key changes the Escape underwent throughout the third generation, according to model year:

• 2019: The previously optional SYNC 3 infotainment system becomes standard on SE models.
• 2018: The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is only available for the top-trim Titanium.
• 2017: The 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine is newly available; the 2.0-liter engine gets a power bump. SYNC 3 introduces Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and FordPass with SYNC Connect. The safety roster now includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, forward collision alert, and a driver attention system.
• 2016: SYNC 3 infotainment replaces the MyFord Touch system.
• 2014: A review camera and SYNC voice controls become standard equipment. The Titanium no longer comes standard with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, though it remains an option.
