Ford Escape 4th Generation

2020–2026 · suv

Fourth-gen Escape on the Ford C2 platform — shared with the Bronco Sport, Maverick, Lincoln Corsair. Engines: 1.5L EcoBoost I3 (181hp), 2.0L EcoBoost I4 (250hp), 2.5L Atkinson hybrid (200hp combined), 2.5L PHEV (210hp combined, ~37 mi electric). 8F35 8-speed (gas) or eCVT (hybrid). FWD or AWD. Ford announced 4th-gen Escape will end after MY2026 — no successor in NA.

Watch out: 1.5L EcoBoost fuel-injector cracking is the major recall — NHTSA 25V-467 (Ford ref 25S76) expands earlier 22V-859 and covers 2020-2022 Escape (alongside 2021-2024 Bronco Sport) for cracked injectors that can leak fuel onto a hot engine and start an underhood fire. Verify VIN was addressed before buying used.
