Fuel efficiency is more important than ever these days. That's part of what makes the 2024 Ford Escape such an asset to any driver. It has great gas mileage. On top of that, it's an excellent vehicle for everyday driving as well as taking lengthy trips.

Fuel-Efficient Engine Options

There are multiple engine options available for the Escape depending on the trim. Whether you're driving a forward-wheel drive or all-wheel drive model also impacts which engines you can equip your vehicle with. Each one of them is excellently fuel-efficient. If you're looking for the most efficient Escape, then consider the plug-in hybrid 2.5-liter I-4 engine. Its all-electric range is 37 miles, and it has a combined MPGe of 101.

If you prefer a car you don't have to plug in, then choose the 2.5 liter I-4 hybrid engine. This gives you 42 mpg in the city and 36 mpg when you get out on the highway. The most fuel-efficient non-hybrid engine is the 1.5-liter EcoBoost in forward-wheel drive models. With this, expect 27 mpg on city roads and 34 mpg on the highway.

Built for Adventurous Road Trips

The Escape is perfect for taking on road trips. If only two of you are going, then you can bring a huge amount of luggage. You've got 65.4 cubic feet of space to fill up with your luggage when you fold down the rear row in non-hybrid models. The regular cargo area is also roomy enough to accommodate plenty of bags when driving with a full passenger load. In non-hybrid models, the cargo area behind the rear row holds 37.5 cubic feet of gear.

It's not just spacious enough for all your belongings, though; the Escape is also comfortable enough to spend long periods in. There's room for everyone to have personal space without feeling squished. The driver's seat is highly adjustable, especially on higher trims. Plus, there are lots of thoughtful features that make long journeys easier, including 8 cupholders, a convenient media bin, ample overhead lighting, and an available wireless charging pad.

Easy Entertainment

Music lovers are catered to in the Escape, as you can seamlessly connect your phone to the infotainment system and listen to your favorite music streaming apps. If you're not a big music fan, then you can enjoy some podcasts, news, or sports instead. The Wi-Fi in the Escape lets your passengers go online. They can stream media on their devices or scroll through social media to pass the time when boredom creeps in during long trips.

Come take the Escape for a test drive at Harrison Ford in Wellington, OH. Get in touch with us today at 844-602-7833 with your queries.
