2018 Ford Escape Performance and Engine

2.0-Liter EcoBoost Turbocharged 4-Cylinder

Under the hood sits Ford's 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which produces 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque in its Escape application. Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift capability, this powertrain delivers confident acceleration whether you're merging onto the 710 Freeway or navigating surface streets through Cudahy or Bell Gardens.

The 4WD drivetrain means you're not limited to pavement. Whether you're heading out to the San Gabriel Mountains, Big Bear Lake, or just dealing with a slick road after a rare LA rainstorm, the all-wheel traction system provides added confidence and control. The SelectShift feature also allows the driver to manually select gears when a more engaged driving experience is desired.

Ford Escape Titanium Features and Interior

What the Titanium Trim Brings to the Table

The Titanium trim is where the Escape truly earns its premium reputation. Buyers can expect features like Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a premium Sony audio system, heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, leather seating surfaces, a power liftgate, a panoramic sunroof, and Ford's BLIS blind-spot monitoring system with cross-traffic alert.

The interior carries a refined, upscale feel that punches above its class. The driver-focused cockpit layout keeps controls intuitive, and rear passengers enjoy solid legroom for a compact SUV. Whether you're hauling groceries from a Maywood market or loading up for a road trip, the Escape Titanium's cargo flexibility — including 60/40 split-folding rear seats — makes everyday life easier.

Ford Escape Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Ford Escape has developed a reputation as a durable, dependable compact SUV when properly maintained. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine in particular is a known performer that holds up well over higher mileage when given regular oil changes and coolant service. Owners commonly report satisfaction with the ride quality, feature set, and fuel economy — the Escape Titanium typically delivers around 23 MPG in city driving and up to 28 MPG on the highway with the 2.0-liter engine.

At 87,178 miles, buyers should expect normal wear items — brakes, tires, and possibly a transmission fluid service — to be on the near-term maintenance horizon, which is perfectly normal for a vehicle at this stage in its life. With proper upkeep, it's not unusual for EcoBoost-powered Escapes to comfortably surpass 150,000 miles.
