These days, there are a seemingly endless number of small SUVs for auto shoppers to consider. The 2025 Ford Escape stands out from the competition with its bold appearance, robust powertrains, and amenity-rich passenger cabin.
Head-Turning Exterior
Beautifully sculpted and sinewy lines, a bold front fascia, and a rear spoiler give the Escape an athletic look. Standard LED signature lighting and dual chrome exhaust tips bring a touch of sophistication. Along with available 18- and 19-inch wheels, the vehicle offers eye-catching paint finishes ranging from Space Silver Metallic and Agate Black Metallic to Vapor Blue Metallic and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted sealcoat.
Compelling Powertrain Selection
The Escape can be traditionally powered or equipped with a hybrid drivetrain. A 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder engine serves as the standard powerplant, generating a healthy 180 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque. Several trims, such as the ST-Line Select and Platinum, are motivated by an even more potent motor that comes in the form of a 250-hp 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder. The Escape becomes exceptionally quick when this option is selected.
Buyers looking to maximize efficiency will want to check out the available 192-hp 2.5L hybrid four-cylinder, which enables a top-notch fuel economy of up to 39 MPG combined. A whopping 101 MPGe combined is achievable when the Escape is fitted with the 210-hp plug-in hybrid version of this engine. Plus, drivers enjoy added flexibility thanks to the ability to switch over to an all-electric mode with 37 miles of range.
Astute Handling
A well-tuned and fully independent suspension means that the Escape promises easy, predictable handling and excellent absorption of bumps. Standard Curve Control technology helps correct understeer in cases where the vehicle enters curves too quickly. Available all-wheel drive is a boon when you’re encountering slippery roads or venturing off-road, greatly improving grip when traction is scarce.
Practical and Stylish Interior
Despite belonging to the compact segment, the Escape has a spacious passenger cabin that comfortably seats five adults with a respective 42.4 and 40.7 inches of front and rear legroom. There’s tons of cargo space behind the back row at 37.5 cubic feet. The dashboard features a sleek design with intuitive, ergonomic controls and houses an 8- or 12.3-inch instrument cluster.
Enhancing passenger comfort are available power-adjustable and heated front seats and ActiveX upholstery. While ST-Line models offer red contrast stitching, the Platinum lets you opt for seats with an elegant quilted design. Users can access wireless smartphone integration, SiriusXM with 360L, and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot from a responsive 8- or 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen.
