Ford Escape
The Escape gets a significant mid-cycle update for 2023, which includes a revised model range. The 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre EcoBoost engines return along with two hybrid systems built around a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre engine. The Escape Plug-in Hybrid can travel up to 60 km on pure battery power, though output is down from 221 horsepower to 210 horsepower now. Optionally, a 13.2-inch touchscreen powered by SYNC 4 is available.
