OVERVIEW
Hybrid 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 Engine
The 2.5L I-4 Atkinson-cycle powertrain features an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT) and an 88 kW electric motor. Also, the all-new Escape Hybrid packages its liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery smartly outside of the vehicle below the floor of the second-row seats rather than occupying a significant portion of the cargo area. The briefcase-shaped battery in the standard hybrid measures less than one-third the size of the old Escape Hybrid battery. Standard on all Escape Hybrid* and Plug-in Hybrid models.
*See a Ford EV-certified dealer for details.
Second-Row Sliding Seats, 60/40 Split-Fold Down
Your life on the go needs both convenience and versatility. That’s why the 2021 Escape has second-row 60/40 split-fold seats and an all-new sliding feature for more cargo space* or best-in-class second-row leg room with 40.7 inches of personal space**.
*Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and weight distribution.
**Class is Small Vans based on Ford segmentation.

Ford Co-Pilot360TM Technology
In an increasingly crowded and stressful world, we can all use more confidence on the road. Ford offers standard features to help keep you confident, from the driveway to the highway*.
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection detects pedestrians, but not in all conditions, and can help avoid or reduce a collision. It does not replace safe driving. See owner’s manual for details and limitations.
