Ford Escape comes in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. The Ford Escape is a compact SUV under Changan Ford. Taking the 2020 Ford Escape as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4585mm, width 1882mm, height 1688mm, wheelbase 2710mm, front track 1597mm, rear track 1588mm. The 2020 Ford Escape features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 248PS, maximum power of 182kW, and maximum torque of 393Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving the Ford Escape for a while, and this car offers quite diverse configurations in terms of four-wheel drive. The Ford Escape comes in both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions depending on the model and market. For example, the base model might be front-wheel drive, while higher-end versions like some ST-Line or sport editions come standard with an intelligent four-wheel drive system. As an owner, I've found that opting for the four-wheel drive version significantly improves handling in winter snow or rainy conditions, with much better traction, enhancing safety. For everyday city driving, front-wheel drive is sufficient, but if you frequently travel on mountain roads or suburban areas, the advantages of four-wheel drive become apparent. I recommend checking the specific model parameters before buying, not just relying on the salesperson's advice. Additionally, the maintenance cost for the four-wheel drive system is slightly higher, but Ford's technology is stable with a low failure rate. Overall, it's a good choice, and buyers can decide based on their needs.
