2025 Ford Escape 2.0 EcoBoostRemember that 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine from the Mustang? It's also available in the Escape crossover, albeit with a 250 hp output. Accompanied by an eight-speed automatic and standard AWD, the turbo-four is quick, bringing the Escape to 60 in 5.8 seconds.It's affordable, too. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost is standard in the ST-Line Select trim, which starts at $34,325 with delivery charges included. The best part — you are already getting a well-equipped model. The ST-Line Select comes standard with a sportier exterior appearance, including 18-inch wheels, LED headlights and dual-chrome exhaust tips. Inside, you get heated front seats and steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Fortunately, Ford has also kept physical controls for most functions.Of course, the Blue Oval wanted to give the 2.0-liter EcoBoost Escape a sharper driving signature, and it largely succeeded. The Escape is one of the most agile compact SUVs, with the AWD system helping with traction. Of course, don't expect Mustang-level engagement, but the Escape is still a good corner carver. The EcoBoost engine is satisfyingly efficient, too, with 31-mpg highway, 23-mpg city, and 26-mpg combined rating.
