Higher Escape trims such as the SEL and Titanium put you in line for some awesome performance capabilities.

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.
