The 2025 Ford Escape comes with a 2.0L EcoBoost petrol engine that produces a punchy 183kW and 387 Nm of torque, which is amazing for a low emission engine.

Both models come with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

As far as fuel economy goes, the 2.0L EcoBoost engine gets an estimated 12.3L/100km in the city and 7.8L/100km on the highway.

Ford Escape verses Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V is typically a bit more expensive than the Ford Escape. However, the Honda CR-V typically offers a bit more in terms of features and amenities.
