Who should drive the 2025 Ford Escape?
The 2025 Ford Escape was specially designed to deliver a roomy, comfortable cruise, along with an excellent balance of power and efficiency! Since you can choose from six trim models, and you get to decide how much you want to spend on interior luxury and performance upgrades, the Escape has wide-ranging appeal. For example, if you’ve got a long commute to work everyday, you’ll love the Escape PHEV, which earns 40 mpg combined in hybrid mode, or 105 MPGe when you utilize both its 37-mile electric range and hybrid performance. For fun-loving families, the ST-Line Elite supplies both a sporty performance (including standard all-wheel drive) and a luxurious interior. If you’re shopping for a great price on a sporty, turbocharged crossover, you’ll love the handsomely equipped Escape Active!
Which 2025 Ford Escape trim model is right for me?
When it comes to trim models, the Escape is big on options. Choose from the handsomely equipped Active, sporty ST-Line, increasingly upscale ST-Line Select, and the luxurious ST-Line and Platinum. You can even combine an upscale cabin with the Escape’s best EPA ratings with the Escape PHEV trim model!
