About the Escape 2.0 126

The 2000 Ford Escape 2.0 126 is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated SUV of 1,421 kg with 125 bhp, which works out at 88 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 3.22 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 13,087th quickest to 60 mph, and the 651st quickest of the 789 Fords here. Its 73.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Ford Escape 2.0 126 0-60 time?
The Ford Escape 2.0 126 reaches 60 mph in 12.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 13,087th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Ford Escape 2.0 126 quarter mile time?
19.06 s at 73.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 12.37 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.22 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Ford Escape 2.0 126 have?
125 bhp and 1,421 kg, which is 88 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 166 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Ford Escape 2.0 126?
Closest here on pace: DR Motor dr5 1.6 118 (12.31 s), Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 115 (12.31 s), Chrysler PT Cruiser 1.6 116 (12.31 s). Each one can be raced against the Ford Escape 2.0 126 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Ford Escape 2.0 126 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
