Since power ratings, performance capabilities and gas mileage are all important to our customers here at Akins Ford, we decided to pay close attention to those while doing this comparison. As you can see in the table above, the standard engine of the 2018 Escape S is sufficiently powerful and fuel efficient, but if you want even more power and higher gas mileage, you’re going to want to go with the 2018 Escape SE or SEL. And, just so you know, the 2018 Escape Titanium is even more powerful, though its gas mileage does take a bit of a dip.
The main difference between the 2018 Escape trim levels is the features that come with it. As expected, the higher up the trim level ladder you go, the better the standard and available features are. That goes for the infotainment system, as noted in the table, but it goes well beyond that, as well. The higher up the ladder you go, the more advanced new safety, technology, comfort and convenience features you get.
