![]() I'm not the type who wants to control an automatic (except in some very specific circumstances), I think automatic means automatic. The transmission is an 8-speed automatic that operated just fine. Five things I learned driving the 2020 Ford Escape with the 1.5L engine. The Hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I4 engine produces up to 198 HP, while the Plug-In Hybrid powertrain produces up to 209 HP. Yup, my choice would be the 2.0 EcoBoost (the 3-cylinder intrigues me but I haven't driven one). The Ford Escapes standard engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline-three with 180 horsepower, while the Mazda CX-5s base engine is a 187-hp 2.5-liter four-banger. The test Escape had the 250 horsepower, 2.0-liter, four. The 2020 Ford Escape has three available engines: a 1.5-liter EcoBoost 3-cylinder (180 hp), a 2.0-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder (250 hp), and a 2.5-liter, Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder (198 hp or 209 hp).

Ford is facelifting the Escape compact crossover by giving it a nip and tuck on the outside and a 13.2-inch. Sometimes it's hard to determine what is medium or small.
