Overview
The fourth-generation Escape debuted on April 2, 2019, and went on sale in the third quarter of 2019 as a 2020 model. It is manufactured at the Louisville Assembly Plant in Louisville, Kentucky. It is related to the third-generation Ford Kuga, outside North America. Compared to its predecessor, the model is claimed to be lighter by over 200 lb while occupying a footprint that is larger due to a wider track and longer length. With its larger size, the Escape provides more interior space for occupants by increasing headroom, shoulder space, and hip room for both rows of seats. Combustion-powered models are equipped with sliding second-row seats that allows a maximum of 37.
Powertrain
There are four new engine-transmission combinations including a plug-in gas-electric hybrid that can go 37 mi on electricity alone with an efficiency rating of 100 MPGe, as well as a conventional hybrid and two turbocharged engines mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
