How Much Horsepower Does the 2025 Ford Escape PHEV Have?
The Escape’s little engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder—it’s paired with two electric motors, delivering 210 horsepower and 155 lb.-ft of torque. The Escape PHV’s mileage is superior—in electric-only mode, you get 37 mpg overall, but in hybrid mode, those numbers tic up 40 mpg, which means more time spent getting to your destination.
What Technology Features Are Seen From the 2025 Ford Escape PHEV?
The Escape’s front seats are plush and plenty of head, leg and shoulder room for all occupants. Its dual-zone climate control system keeps everyone, no matter where they sit, at a comfortable temperature.
Comfort has always been a priority for Ford, and nowhere is that more evident than in the driver’s seat—controls are user friendly and easy to access, and you can easily find the driving position that works for you, thanks to the seat’s multiple adjustment options.
You don’t typically get sliding rear seats, which are rare in this class, but here, they are standard—slide them forward for more cargo space or back for more legroom. The Escape’s SYNC 4 infotainment system features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay with a standard 8-inch screen that can be upgraded to a 13.2-inches and an optional Bang & Olufsen 10 audio system. Also featured are a wi-fi hotspot, a voice command system, smartphone syncing and integration and advanced GPS with real-time traffic updates.
You’ll also be worry-free when it comes to safety, thanks to Ford’s Co-Pilot 360’s many driver driver assistance features, including, automatic emergency braking and high beams, blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping assistance. There’s also available adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assistance, speed sign recognition, and a 360-degree camera system.
