Everyone reaches a point in their lives where they just need to get away from it all, away from the hustle and stresses of everyday life. Luckily, there are plenty of areas in the Edmonton area to do so, and there are even more models on our Sherwood Ford lot that can take you wherever you want to go. One of these is the Ford Escape, a long-standing, trusted favourite of every faction of the Canadian market. It’s a top performer in both power and precision, especially evident when you consider what it has to offer from its drivetrain. Come with Sherwood Ford today and check out the 2018 Ford Escape available engine options and performance capabilities!
Three engines come available for the 2018 Escape, all of which are available on distinct trims and offer their own advantages for drivers. We’ve listed them below, so check out the chart and see which one best fits your needs!
| Engine | Standard Trims | Horsepower (hp) | Torque (lb-ft) | City Fuel Economy (L/100 km) | Highway Fuel Economy (L/100 km) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5L EcoBoost® Inline 4 | SEL | 179 | 177 | 10.2 | 7.8 |

Higher Escape trims such as the SEL and Titanium put you in line for some awesome performance capabilities. Among these are Curve Control – which can help reduce your speed autonomously – and Auto Start-Stop Technology, which shuts off your engine when you come to a halt to help you conserve power!
Even still, all 2018 Escape models offer a SelectShift® 6-speed automatic transmission, which seamlessly shifts your gears and allows you to tackle both city and highway driving with ease. Also, with available Intelligent 4-Wheel Drive capability, you’ll get the appropriate amount of power supplied to each of your wheels whether you’re battling the elements, heading onto the trails, or just taking the Escape for a spin around the block.
