The fourth generation of the Escape has been around since 2020 but hasn’t lived up to Ford’s expectations in terms of sales. Many will argue that styling and pricing are to blame.

More compelling options include a 250-horsepower four-cylinder engine and a regular hybrid system delivering 192 horsepower.
