With enough variety in powertrain options to put some truck lineups to shame, the 2025 Ford Escape can be equipped to suit any Springfield driver. So in this overview of the 2025 Ford Escape specs, we’ll break down the various 2025 Ford Escape engine options so you can choose the one that best suits your driving requirements. And, in addition to basic engine specs like horsepower and torque, we’ll also consider some performance specifications too, such as the Ford Escape mpg rating and Ford Escape towing capacity.
There are two gas-powered engine options and two hybrid/PHEV engine options available to you if you decide on the 2025 Ford Escape as your next Branson commuter. Please keep in mind that not all powertrain configurations are available for all trims, so contact us after reading this overview to learn more about powertrain availability:
1.5L EcoBoost® I-3 Engine
2.0L EcoBoost® I-4 Engine
2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 Hybrid Engine
2.5L iVCT Atkinson Cycle I-4 Plug-In Hybrid
Having considered the basic specifications for each of the 2025 Ford Escape engine options, let’s now turn our attention to actual performance capabilities, like towing. As a compact SUV, the Ford Escape is a relatively light vehicle with its estimated base curb weight ranging from 3,273 pounds to 3,880 pounds. So even though you can push the Ford Escape towing capacity up to 3,500 pounds with the Class II Trailer Tow Package, anything above that isn’t considered safe. Check out what each 2025 Ford Escape engine is capable of below:
1.5L EcoBoost® I-3 Engine
2.0L EcoBoost® I-4 Engine
2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 Hybrid engine
2.5L iVCT Atkinson Cycle I-4 Plug-In Hybrid
Finally, let’s wrap up with the available fuel economy figures for the 2025 Ford Escape. Unfortunately, neither the OEM nor the EPA has released concrete mpge figures for the Plug-in Hybrid Escape so we can’t give you anything definitive on that matter. That said, considering its status as a PHEV, you can expect its fuel economy figures to be as efficient, if not more so, than the available figures you’ll see below:
1.5L EcoBoost® I-3 Engine
2.0L EcoBoost® I-4 Engine
2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 Hybrid engine
No matter which you choose, it’s clear that the 2025 Ford Escape is efficient enough to take you to and from Nixa with minimal fuel stops. If you have questions about the various powertrain options or the Ford Escape mpg ratings, contact our parts and service technicians for assistance.

Part of what makes the 2024 Ford Escape such an attractive, well-rounded option in the increasingly crowded American SUV/compact SUV market is its wide range of available powertrains. In this guide on the Ford Escape’s specs and performance, we’ll detail each of the four Ford Escape engine options, their specs, and the kind of fuel efficiency you can expect from them.
Ultimately, the powertrain you end up with will come down to the trim you select and whether you outfit your Escape with EcoBoost® or Hybrid capability. Do you want some of the fuel efficiency granted by a hybrid powertrain, but also want the reliability of a traditional gas-powered engine? Try EcoBoost®! Or if you’re ready to make the plunge into full-on PHEV territory, Hybrid is the way to go, and we’re certain you’ll be happy with the Ford Escape hybrid’s mpg rating!
Read on for a detailed breakdown of each of the Ford Escape engine options, and see which is right for you:
1.5L EcoBoost® Engine w/ Auto Start-Stop technology
2.0L EcoBoost® Engine
2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I4 Hybrid Engine
Plug-in 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I4 Engine
On the whole, the Ford Escape is a fuel-efficient vehicle that’ll get you to and from Branson with minimal stops. This is even more so for the models that use the 2.5L hybrid engine. Take a closer look at the Ford Escape specs and Ford Escape mpg ratings here:
1.5L EcoBoost® Engine w/ Auto Start-Stop technology
2.0L EcoBoost® Engine
2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I4 Hybrid Engine
Plug-in 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I4 Engine
As you can see, while EcoBoost® already gives the Ford Escape mpg rating a boost, fuel efficiency skyrockets with the full-on hybrid version. Nixa overnight trips, here we come!
