Three Ford Escapes are available for 2015, and all are powered by a four-cylinder engine. The S trim’s engine has a 2.5L capacity and offers 168 horsepower, while the SE gets a turbocharged 1.6L 178-hp version. And finally, a 2.0L 240-hp turbo equips the Escape Titanium. This compact SUV has 971 to 1,928 litres of cargo space – the latter being once the rear bench is folded down, of course.
