2020 Escape: A Distinctive Redesign

The 2020 Escape has undergone a major redesign for the current model year. Sportier lines offer a more athletic and premium feel, but the cabin sees even more changes. Traveling and exploring are bound to be more convenient (and aesthetically pleasing!) than ever.

The wood-style dashboard and door panel accents add elegance, while a more modern rotary gear shift dial opens space on the center console and adds to the sense of roominess. The second row now has an all-new sliding feature that lets your rear passengers make the most of their legroom.

Look above you. Is that a bird? A plane? Maybe—but you’re viewing it through a panoramic Vista Roof®. This available feature opens your ride to the skies above and all that they contain!

Performance: A Four-Engine Lineup

Selectable drive modes and available all-wheel drive give you so many ways to customize your drive. But your choice of engine may have more effect than anything else. The Ford Escape has four powertrains to choose from, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid options.

You can make your drive as powerful or efficient as you like. The 2.0L EcoBoost® can tow 3,500 pounds if properly equipped—and it has an impressive 250 horsepower on tap. You can enjoy a powerful burst of acceleration, whether you’re cruising around town or merging on the highway.

Whether snow, sand, or a wet and slippery road is coming, your drive modes can help you improve your handling. Select them to alter your driving dynamics and traction for what lies ahead!

Voice-Activated Technology for You

The 2020 Escape knows you want to keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. That’s why the SUV offers the voice-activated SYNC® 3 system as an available option. You can search music playlists and find navigational directions with ease, whether you use your voice or the 8-inch touchscreen.

Smartphone integration is possible via Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™, which are included as part of the infotainment system. Mirror your phone’s home screen on the touchscreen and access your apps as you drive! So much is right at your fingertips.

The Escape makes your music sound better with a B&O™ Sound System by Bang & Olufsen. The 10 well-placed speakers deliver incredible acoustics for your adventure!
