Ford's Escape Hybrid makes a return for 2020. It features the same styling as the rest of the redesigned Escape line, but it loses some rear legroom and cargo capacity to make room for more complex driving hardware.
Powering every Escape Hybrid is a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, an electric motor, and a 1.1-kilowatt-hour battery. Together, they transmit power to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). According to Ford, this engine is projected to produce 198 horsepower. It comes standard with front-wheel drive (FWD). An all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, which mechanically disconnects from the engine when it isn’t needed in order to conserve fuel, is also available. As of this writing, EPA fuel-economy ratings aren't available.
Ford offers the Escape Hybrid in SE, SEL, and Titanium trims. The standard features include 4G LTE WiFi for up to 10 devices and an 8-inch touchscreen. Available features include a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster with 3D graphics; a 575-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system; and integration with Amazon Alexa, Waze, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
Like many modern vehicles, the Escape Hybrid aims high when it comes to safety. Standard and available features include a reversing camera, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, evasive-steering assist, adaptive cruise control with traffic crawl, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beams, and parking assist.
The 2020 Escape Hybrid looks more capable than ever before. It competes with other hybrid SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers really like the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid for its great fuel economy, comfort, and impressive array of safety features. Many appreciate its blend of performance and practicality, especially with features like all-wheel drive and spacious cargo. However, some have expressed minor annoyances, such as seat adjustments and missing features like adaptive cruise control."
It has all the bells & whistles with a smooth & comfortable ride & very reasonably priced!
June 5, 2024Checks all the boxes for fuel efficiency and functionality. Comfortable enough, drives nicely, has a nice refined drivetrain. So what’s not to like? Even in Titanium trim the interior looks low-rent, then again, it’s a Ford and it seems like it wants to remind you, constantly. Also, the overall exterior styling….some have said it looks like a mini-Porsche. Porsche?..hah. It looks like an upsized kid’s toy, not a serious adult’s vehicle. At $35k a new Titanium PHEV Escape is right-priced for both what it is and it isn’t; at $46k+ it’s trying to punch above its weight and it’s failing.
July 21, 2023Fuel conscious, comfortable, easy to drive, lots of safety features, affordable, and takes regular octane gas. What more could one need?

April 22, 2022Best small SUV value. Lots of options, great mileage at reasonable price
March 9, 2021Top of the line, everything works as designed and expected, not a scratch..I love the safety features, but also that it’s hybrid and some of the finishing touches such as the head-up display and panoramic sky view..
May 28, 2024Outstanding features as well as a very good by and a car that can last longer than an all gas vehicles! This car is missing nothing.
June 7, 2022The 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid holds great value for those seeking an economical SUV that also has power on demand. A great balance of economy and power. We have owned Fords for over 30 years and have experienced first hand how this manufacturer stands behind its products.
October 16, 2020I got the SE Sport. Leather, panoramic moonroof, AWD, roof rails and roomy second row.. It’s got virtually everything the Titanium has at a significantly lower price. It’s a hybrid, so it harder to find, but LOVE it. Fun to drive and perfect for my needs.
February 23, 2021Love my new car. Glad I found it in car gurus. Runs great and has lot of new and useful features. Best of all the price was great. Does not seem to have a scan button on the radio
February 13, 2024I absolutely love my car!Great fuel economy-got 56 mpg in town!Cannot ask for a more comfortable,quiet ride,plenty of leg room and cargo space.Has more bells and whistles than I could have asked for.Reasonably priced too@@
