2025 Ford Escape Review What’s New This Model Year?

This model year brings fresh focus on the 2025 Ford Escape in Phoenix. The trim levels range from sensible to luxurious with a range of sporty models in between. Then there are the powertrains, which include a hybrid, a plug in hybrid, and a super-sporty Ecoboost turbo.

Here’s what you should know about this compact SUV.

Trim Levels and Features

The 2025 Ford Escape offers trim levels to suit various needs and preferences. Whether you prioritize value, sporty styling, or luxurious amenities, there's an Escape model for you. Each trim level builds upon the previous one, adding more features and technology to enhance your driving experience.

Escape Active trims serve as the entry point to the Escape lineup. These come with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine that delivers a balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Inside, you'll find comfortable seats, a user-friendly infotainment system, and essential features to make your daily drives enjoyable. The Active trim is a great option for budget-conscious buyers who still want a stylish and capable new Ford SUV.

For those seeking a sportier driving experience, the ST-Line features a sport-tuned suspension, unique styling cues, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel for a more engaging feel behind the wheel.

The ST-Line Select has the largest touchscreen on the dashboard and a wireless charger on the console. This all-wheel drive edition has extra safety features, such as rain-sensing wipers.

Stepping up to the Platinum trim, drivers enjoy a 10-way power chair and a 12.3-inch digital screen behind the steering wheel. Your music choices sound terrific on the Bang and Olufsen sound system. Blending a sporty atmosphere with top comforts, the ST-Line Elite is as much fun as it is luxurious. Escape leases and loans are available with competitive financing from Earnhardt Ford.

Performance and Fuel Economy

Whether you prioritize fuel efficiency for your daily commute or desire more power for weekend adventures, the turbocharged EcoBoost Engine generates 199 lb-ft of torque. If you want something really sporty, the 2-L Ecoboost is standard on Platinum and ST-Elite models. It churns out 275 lb-ft of torque.

For the most efficient driving experience, you can choose the hybrid drivetrain that kicks out 192 horsepower. This fuel saver earns 39 mpg in combined driving. In the city, it earns up to 42 mpg!

Hybrid/PHEV Tow Ratings: 1,500 lbs
Standard Ecoboost Tow Ratings: 2,000 lbs
2-L Ecoboost I4 AWD Tow Ratings: 3,500 lbs

Providing up to 37 miles of electric range, the 2025 Ford Escape Plug in Hybrid (PHEV) also has a gas engine to give you the best of both worlds. It generates a combined rate of 210 horsepower. With electric motors to deliver torque, the Escape PHEV is a fast mover.

Technology and Safety

SYNC 4 is the heart of Escape technology. This advanced system features a large touchscreen display that provides easy access to navigation, music, communication, and vehicle settings. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, owners can seamlessly connect two smartphones and access favorite apps, maps, and contacts on the go.

13.2-inch touchscreen (ST-Line & higher trims)
12.3-inch touchscreen (Platinum, ST-Line Elite)
4G LTE WiFi Hotspot (available on all models)
360-degree camera system (available)

The 2025 Escape prioritizes safety with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assist technologies. These advanced features work together to enhance your awareness of your surroundings and help you avoid potential hazards.

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can warn you of potential collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians, and even apply the brakes automatically if necessary. The Blind Spot Information System and a Lane-Keeping System helps you stay out of side crash scenarios. For added convenience and safety on the highway, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go reduces your stress by handling multiple functions while you steer.

Interior and Cargo Space

The 2025 Ford Escape interior was thoughtfully designed to prioritize comfort and practicality. Whether you're commuting to work, running errands around town, or embarking on a weekend adventure, the Escape cabin provides a welcoming and versatile space for you and your passengers.

Second-row seats offer ample legroom, even for taller passengers. They can slide back for maximum legroom or slide forward to maximize cargo space.

Rear legroom: 40.9 inches
Hybrid Rear Legroom: 39.3 inches
Standard Cargo Hold: 37.4 cubic feet
Hybrid Cargo Hold: 34.5 cubic feet

The 60/40 split rear seats fold down, allowing you to transport larger items with ease. Clever storage compartments throughout the cabin provide convenient places to store smaller items and keep the interior organized.
