The current Ford Escort covers up to 932 km on a full tank, based on combined-cycle consumption. Figures below are the best-range variant in each generation.
| Years | Powertrain | Range |
|---|---|---|
| 1980–1986 | Combustion | 941 |
| 1986–1990 | Combustion | 923 |
| 1990–1992 | Combustion | 1,038 |
| 1992–1996 | Combustion | 982 |
| 1995–2000 | Combustion | 932 |
Range is calculated from each variant’s fuel tank capacity and combined-cycle consumption (tank ÷ consumption × 100), for the best-range variant in each generation — real-world range varies with driving style and conditions. Figures outside a plausible range for the tank size are excluded.
