Powertrain Options and Availability

In the Escape's first season, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine was standard, offered only with five-speed manual shift. Ford's 3.0-liter V6 was an option, available only with a four-speed automatic transmission. In subsequent years, XLS Value and Sport models got the four-cylinder and upper-level Escapes were V6-powered. Escapes came with either two-wheel or permanent four-wheel drive.
