The fourth generation of the Escape has been around since 2020 but hasn’t lived up to Ford’s expectations in terms of sales. Many will argue that styling and pricing are to blame. Sure, the Escape has plenty to offer, but the standard three-cylinder engine (180 horsepower) fails to impress, while the plug-in hybrid variant is expensive and lacks all-wheel drive. More compelling options include a 250-horsepower four-cylinder engine and a regular hybrid system delivering 192 horsepower.
