2025 Ford Escape MPG And Fuel Efficiency

If you're wondering about the Ford Escape MPG and have questions like "Does the Ford Escape get good gas mileage?" on your mind, those thoughts will soon be met by excitement. The five-seat Escape delivers high MPGs for an SUV, offering you an EPA-estimated 30 MPG Combined¹ with the standard gas-powered engine. See the full Ford Escape mileage ratings and specs by reading on, and come by Jones Ford Buckeye and explore the new Ford Escape SUV fully.

Ford Escape MPG Ratings at a Glance

The 2025 Ford Escape has four engine options, covering everything from a powerful turbo motor to a long-range plug-in hybrid.
A standard 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine provides the Escape with up to an EPA-estimated 27/34/30 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).¹
The available plug-in hybrid configuration maximizes efficiency, delivering an EPA-estimated 101 MPGe combined.¹
All engines can take regular unleaded gasoline; varying gas tank capacities provide up to 560 miles of combined range.²

What Factors Affect the Ford Escape Fuel Economy?

Two factors will cause the Ford Escape gas mileage figures to vary. These factors are simply the engine and the drivetrain configuration. Regarding engines, the 2025 Ford Escape MPG ratings rely on these units:

1.5-liter EcoBoost inline-three: the standard engine with 180 horsepower; starts the lineup with solid MPGs
2.0-liter EcoBoost inline-four: the available upgrade with 250 horsepower; lowers the MPGs but raises performance
2.5-liter hybrid inline-four: an alternate available upgrade with 192 horsepower; raises MPGs and performance together
2.5-liter plug-in inline-four: the standard engine of the Escape Plug-In Hybrid with 210 horsepower; the fullest blend of efficiency and power

Next up, standard FWD vs. available AWD. However, there are some noteworthy variances to consider as you become an explorer of our new Ford inventory and look for an escape from inefficient, boring SUVs.

Most notably, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine is only available with AWD, and the plug-in hybrid engine can only get FWD. Additionally, the hybrid engine delivers the same MPGs with FWD and with AWD. Otherwise, the Ford Escape miles per gallon ratings are straightforward.

How Fuel-Efficient Is the Ford Escape? An Overview

The fuel economy Ford Escape SUVs can deliver will depend on the configuration, so let's take a look:

1.5L EcoBoost w/ FWD: EPA-estimated 27/34/30 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)¹
1.5L EcoBoost w/ AWD: EPA-estimated 26/32/28 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)¹
2.0L EcoBoost: EPA-estimated 23/31/26 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)¹
2.5L Hybrid: EPA-estimated 42/36/39 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)¹
2.5L Plug-In Hybrid: EPA-estimated 101 MPGe combined¹ or 40 MPG combined¹

Ford Escape Fuel Tank Capacity and Fuel Type: Long Distance for Less

While the Ford Escape fuel efficiency is great, its impact will be limited if you can't carry enough fuel to make the fullest use of the MPGs. The Ford Escape gas tank size does precisely that, and all Ford Escape engines can be given regular unleaded gasoline. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost has premium gasoline as a recommendation but can still drive without issues using regular gas.

That Ford Escape gas type combines fuel-sipping specs with wallet-friendly fuel requirements. And while the three varying engines will cause variances between the gas tank sizes of Ford Escape vehicles, they are also consistently satisfying.

1.5L EcoBoost w/ FWD: 14.8-gallon tank; 444-mile combined driving range²
1.5L EcoBoost w/ AWD: 15.7-gallon tank; 440-mile combined driving range²
2.0L EcoBoost: 15.7-gallon tank; 408-mile combined driving range²
2.5L Hybrid: 14.3-gallon tank; 558-mile combined driving range²
2.5L Plug-In Hybrid: 11.1-gallon tank; 560-mile combined driving range²
