Versatility Meets Technology in the 2025 Ford Escape
Power and Performance
Serving as the Escape’s standard powerplant, a 1.5L EcoBoost inline-3 delivers prompt and responsive acceleration with its output of 180 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque. A front-wheel-drive layout is standard, but buyers desiring more traction in harsh conditions may opt for all-wheel drive. Either way, the powertrain is completed by a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission.
Many trims are available with a 192-hp 2.5L hybrid inline-4 that’s mated to an electronic continuously variable transmission and delivers an exceptional fuel economy of up to 39 MPG highway. The Escape can even be had as a plug-in hybrid vehicle for greater flexibility as its 210-hp 2.5L hybrid inline-4 is complemented by a rechargeable battery that grants up to 37 miles of all-electric range.
Interior and Amenities
The Escape belies its small size with an airy cabin boasting ample space for five people, including nearly 41 inches of rear legroom. Its cargo hold is similarly impressive at more than 65 cubic feet. Premium construction and a slew of standard and available amenities contribute to an inviting ride. The base Active trim comes with dual-zone automatic climate control and the option to add power adjustability and heating for both front seats.
For a sportier look, ST-Line models get a flat-bottom steering wheel and red contrast stitching. The Platinum model’s standard ActiveX leatherette upholstery with an available quilted pattern makes the Escape genuinely luxurious.
Multimedia System
Sitting atop the dashboard is an 8- or 13.2-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen system running Ford’s intuitive SYNC 4 software. Along with handy technologies like wireless smartphone integration and a 4G LTE mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, users can tune into SiriusXM with 360L, offering countless hours of exclusive content from a variety of streaming channels. An available 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system easily rivals home theater setups.
Driver Assistance
All Escape variants feature automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, which aid in preventing collisions from any direction. Bringing another layer of safety is the available Evasive Steering Assist system, capable of applying additional steering force to help you move around a vehicle during an emergency maneuver and return back to your lane.
