Not available with the Escape S, but a $1,350 option on other trim levels, Intelligent 4WD monitors traction and road conditions every 16 milliseconds and can transfer traction from the front to rear wheels as needed.

If and when we learn of a new generation for the Escape, we’ll cycle back to this model year overview with a heads up. It’s a strong bet 2019 or 2020 will kick off the fourth-generation Escape. That being said, the first-generation Escape sold for seven model years (2001-2007) and the second-generation for five years (2008-2012).
There’s no good reason to stifle sales by giving potential buyers a reason to hold off to wait for a new generation with the presumption of major improvements.
