These engines will propel you forward, whether you’re on a family trip to Delaware’s gorgeous beaches or taking the city by storm for a night on the town.
Have It All With a Hybrid

Maybe you’re interested in considering your hybrid options. Luckily for you, the 2021 Ford Escape is more than happy to accommodate.
The Hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I4 engine is available with the 2021 Escape SE Hybrid, SEL Hybrid, and Titanium Hybrid. This engine offers a maximum 165 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque, so you can save the planet and ride in style at the same time.
Drivers also have the option for a Plug-In 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I4 engine with the 2021 Escape SE Plug-in Hybrid, SEL Plug-in Hybrid, and Titanium Plug-In Hybrid. You may be wondering: What’s the difference between a plug-in and a traditional hybrid?
| Engine | Maximum Horsepower | Maximum Torque | Maximum EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy | Plug-In Charge? |
| Hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I4 engine | 165 HP | 155 lb-ft | 44 city/
37 highway MPG |
No |
| Plug-In 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I4 engine | 165 HP | 155 lb-ft | 100 combined MPGe | Yes |
To put it simply, a plug-in hybrid needs to be plugged in to charge the battery while a full hybrid does not. With the 110-volt Level 1 charger, your Ford plug-in hybrid can charge in an estimated 10 to 11 hours, and the 240-volt Level 2 charger will lower that charging time to an estimated 3.5 hours.
Both hybrid options offer the same maximum horsepower and torque and a strong fuel economy. Either way, both hybrid options are great choices for drivers who want to make the most of their fuel tanks.
Go Greener With Eco Mode
The Ford Escape also offers the option for Eco Mode. When driving, Eco Mode will assess your driving patterns and their effect on your fuel consumption, including:
- Speed
- Gear shifting
- Braking
- Anticipation levels
This mode allows drivers to become more aware of their on-road habits and the impact those habits have on the environment so they can consume less fuel and become more efficient drivers.
