What’s new for the 2025 Ford Escape?
We expect the 2025 Escape to be the final edition of Ford’s compact crossover, and there aren’t any major changes in store for shoppers. Along with the Edge, the Escape is scheduled for retirement, clearing factory space for Ford’s upcoming EV models. If you’re in the market for a brand new Escape, don’t wait to order yours!
Is the 2025 Ford Escape comfortable?
This compact crossover is known for its smooth blend of power and ride comfort. Inside the Escape, both rows of seating offer another impressive balance, with generous cushioning and supportive seating contours. And thanks to a roomy interior, every trim model makes a great road-trip vehicle. Every Escape includes dual-zone automatic climate control, allowing driver and front passenger to enjoy two different temperatures! For drivers, it’s easy to find the perfect spot at the wheel, thanks to the power-adjustable driver’s seat and leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Drivers with a long commute not only appreciate the Escape’s excellent seating and ride comfort, but also its standard technology. The list of standard features includes SYNC 4, Ford’s latest infotainment system, along with the wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 package is also included on every trim model. This tech bundle helps you stay safe with systems that monitor your blind spot or apply the brakes when necessary.
The 2025 Escape’s six trim models (Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and PHEV) offer greater interior comfort as you move up the list. For instance, the ST-Line Select adds heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The ST-Line Elite delivers an ultra-comfy cruise, adding driver’s seat memory settings and adaptive cruise control. And the top-tier Platinum is the most handsomely equipped option, adding to the ST-Line Elite features with details like ActiveX upholstery and roof-rack side rails.
How does the 2025 Ford Escape drive?
Performance is one of the best reasons to choose the Escape over competitors! Like its fellow compact crossovers, the Escape delivers a smooth, composed ride. But unlike other models, the Escape offers your choice of four sporty powertrains, the strongest of which supplies incredible speed with 250 horsepower!
For drivers who want to balance sporty capabilities with at-the-pump savings, the Escape offers both a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid powertrain. The former earns up to 39 mpg combined and the latter delivers 40 mpg combined! The Escape PHEV trim model even has a 37-mile all-electric range. Depending on your commute, you might find yourself visiting the gas station much less than you expected!
The 2025 Escape is available with four engine options, depending your choice of trim model:
- Active, ST-Line: turbo 1.5L three-cylinder engine (180 hp, 199 lb-ft)
- ST-Line Select and up: turbo 2.0L four-cylinder (250 hp, 280 lb-ft)
- PHEV: 2.5L plug-in hybrid powertrain (210 hp)
- Optional for ST-Line and up: 2.5L hybrid powertrain (192 hp)
