Powertrain & Engine

Three different powertrains are offered for the 2016 Ford Escape. A 2.5L four-cylinder engine is placed under the hood for the base model. A six-speed automatic transmission is the only option for any of the other engine options. There's also an upgrade to a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder engine, which provides additional horsepower. Though acceleration between the two engines is similar, the 1.6L four-cylinder engine does a better job at maintaining speed on the highway. If you are looking for big engine performance, the 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine can be swapped in to earn even more horsepower for the Ford Escape.
