Which Trim Levels of the 2020 Ford Escape are Hybrid?
The newest trim level in the 2020 Ford Escape lineup, the SE Sport, is a Hybrid-only model. The Escape Titanium now comes standard as a hybrid model, though it is available with the 2.0L EcoBoost® as well.
The Escape Hybrid uses a mild-hybrid drivetrain built around a 2.5-liter iVCT Atkinson-cycle engine and an 88-kilowatt electric motor. The battery pack is cleverly stowed beneath the second-row seats, so your passenger space remains unobstructed. A plug-in hybrid variant of the Escape Titanium is expected for release in Spring of 2020.
