The New 2025 Ford Escape

The 2025 Escape lineup offers four powertrains: two EcoBoost gas engines, a hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid, giving drivers a variety of ways to meet their performance and efficiency goals.

• The standard 1.5L EcoBoost engine generates 180 horsepower and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It's designed for balanced performance and fuel savings, with available all-wheel drive and automatic start-stop technology.

• For more punch, the available 2.0L EcoBoost engine offers 250 horsepower and confident acceleration, along with a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs when properly equipped.

• The available hybrid pairs a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle I-4 engine with an electric motor for a total output of 192 horsepower. Regenerative braking helps recharge the battery on the go, with no plug-in required.

• The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) offers a combined 210 horsepower and the flexibility to drive in electric-only, gas-only, or hybrid mode. With the included charging cord, you can plug into a regular 120V outlet at home or upgrade for faster charging.

Every Escape includes selectable drive modes to match road conditions, including Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Normal. The system even switches between front-wheel and all-wheel drive automatically, depending on traction needs.

Just because it’s a compact SUV doesn’t mean the Escape is short on muscle. When properly fitted with the Class II Trailer Tow Package, it can tow between 1,500 and 3,500 lbs, giving you the muscle to pull small campers, boats, or utility trailers.

Its standard suspension offers a smooth ride over everyday roads, while available AWD and traction-enhancing tech like Curve Control and Torque Vectoring Control help you feel steady and in control. Whether you're merging onto the highway or navigating slick backroads in West Texas, the Escape adapts.

The hybrid and plug-in models add further flexibility for fuel-conscious drivers. The PHEV model even lets you drive fully electric when cruising through town, while Save Mode stores battery power for later, such as when you enter a clean air zone or need an EV boost in traffic.

Inside the Escape, you’ll find the kind of smart design that matters every day. There’s room for five, with a sliding second row that adds flexibility. You can either increase rear legroom or maximize cargo space depending on what you're hauling. Rear seats fold 60/40 to open up even more storage when needed.

Upholstery options range from easy-to-clean cloth to upgraded ActiveX materials, depending on the trim. Heated front seats, power adjustment, and even memory features are available, as is a heated steering wheel for colder Abilene mornings.

Need space for groceries, gear, or strollers? The Escape's configurable rear cargo area gives you up to 65.4 cu ft with the rear seats folded, along with plenty of hidden storage cubbies throughout the cabin.

The 2025 Escape has a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette that’s instantly recognizable. Its piano black grille, LED signature lighting, and available LED light bar give it a modern edge, while the optional panoramic Vista Roof opens up the cabin with natural light.

All models come with alloy wheels (ranging from 17 to 19 inches) and distinct design elements like body-color door handles, black moldings, and dual exhaust tips. The ST-Line trims lean into sporty styling with black mesh grilles, red stitching accents, and performance-inspired spoilers.

And with a fresh palette of paint colors including Agate Black Metallic, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Space Silver Metallic, Vapor Blue Metallic, Oxford White, Star White Metallic Tri-coat, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, your Escape can stand out on the lot and in the carpool line no matter your style.

Every 2025 Escape comes equipped with SYNC® 4 and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. A standard 8-inch touchscreen grows to 13.2 inches in upper trims, offering crisp visuals and intuitive navigation. Available upgrades include a head-up display, wireless charging pad, and a premium B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with 10 speakers.

A refined, electrified experience with a 13.2-inch touchscreen, standard heated seats, and advanced driver-assist features, plus the flexibility to drive in all-electric mode when desired.

A solid daily driver with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine, cloth bucket seats, and classic convenience features like dual-zone climate control and SYNC® 4.

Adds standard AWD, heated seats and steering wheel, a power liftgate, and the 2.0L EcoBoost engine for increased power and towing capability.
