Still, if you can take the fuel bills, this is one of the more powerful engines you’ll find in a small SUV south of the luxury segment. That means most owners are likely to fill it with regular gasoline, which won’t deliver these power figures. At a Natural Resources Canada rating of 11.5 L/100 km city, 8.7 highway, and 10.2 combined – and EcoBoost engines are known to sometimes run richer, which shows after my week of mostly city driving, when it drank 14.7 L/100 km – that’s going to be a more expensive fuel bill than most mainstream compact SUV buyers are prepared to sign up for. However, and this is a key point, these figures are with premium fuel. Here in the 2019 version, this largest of the EcoBoost twin-scroll turbocharged engines produces 245 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm, matched with the same six-speed automatic transmission that’s present across the current line-up. It’s funny to have to kick off on this point: the 2020 Escape will have three-cylinder, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains available, but the optional engine equipped in this 2019 Titanium test unit is one of the few things that’s carrying over almost unchanged, going forward with no more than a slight power bump. This 2.0-litre EcoBoost Engine Isn’t Changing Much Before you decide to snap one up before it’s gone, there are a few things you should know about this sales stalwart. If you take a look at it all and you’re not so sure you like what you see – Wheels editor Kunal D’souza says that the new styling “isn’t going to offend anyone,” but since all I can see on that new front end is the stretched face of a model who visited a plastic surgeon one too many times, I’m not so sure I agree – the 2019 Ford Escape is still here for your consideration for a little while longer. Although not a whole lot is known about how the all-new 2020 version performs just yet, the looks, powertrains, and some updated technology and safety features have all been announced and are available at the link above for your perusal. This is a big one: outside of trucks, the Escape has been Ford’s best-selling vehicle for several years.

And the more successful the car has been for a brand, the more pressure there is on everyone involved not to mess it all up. Sometimes they get it right sometimes, they don’t. At some point it will inevitably hit the end of its cycle, and teams of designers and engineers will put everything they’ve got into making the next version of the product even better while trying to stay several steps ahead of their competitors. It doesn’t matter how successful, or not, a given car is for its manufacturer. Few words within the automotive industry carry as much weight as the word cycle.
