2018 Ford Escape
SEL AWD
106,667 mi
$11,483
Overview
Currently in its third generation, the Ford Escape compact crossover SUV competes with the likes of the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Hyundai Santa Fe. Despite its adventurous-sounding name, the Escape is more of a large, lifted hatchback than a true off-roader, as it comes standard with front-wheel drive (FWD) and only offers all-wheel drive (AWD) as an option. It received a new engine and a new nose last year, so it enters 2018 largely unchanged. Available in S, SE, SEL, and Titanium trims, the 2018 Escape starts at just under $24,000, but loaded models can run well over 30 grand. A separate hybrid model—the Escape Hybrid—is also available and was actually the first hybrid SUV to enter the market back in 2004.
The base powertrain for the 2018 Escape is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 168 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. That makes for fairly disappointing performance in a car of this size, and it gets the worst fuel economy of the lineup at 21 mpg city, 29 highway, and 24 combined. Last year saw the introduction of a turbo 1.5-liter 4-cylinder powertrain for the SE trim that, despite its small size, puts out 179 hp and 177 lb-ft. Its power comes in lower in the rev range than the base engine and it’s also the most fuel frugal of the bunch, with EPA figures of 23, 30, and 26 with FWD and 22, 28, and 24 with AWD.
The Escape’s range-topping engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that’s much more potent than the other two at 245 hp and 275 lb-ft and will hit 60 mph in about 7 seconds. Even with all the extra grunt from the larger turbo, fuel-economy isn’t that much different at 22, 29, and 25 with FWD and 20, 27, and 23 with AWD.
The Escape is offered in either FWD or AWD configuration with the exception of the base engine, which comes exclusively with FWD. The only available transmission is a 6-speed automatic, and turbocharged models receive paddle shifters. All Escapes also have active grille shutters for smoother airflow across the nose, and turbocharged models have a stop/start function for saving fuel in traffic. Although it’s technically an SUV, the current-generation Escape drives more like a zippy hatchback than some of its peers, with firm steering and relatively little body roll. An available tow package adds a trailer sway control function.
Inside, the 2018 Escape comes standard with cloth upholstery, air conditioning, cruise control, a 6-speaker stereo, and a 4.2-inch display screen with Ford’s Sync infotainment system. The SE trim comes with satellite radio, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated front seats, while the SEL further adds leather upholstery, a power tailgate, and an 8.0-inch screen for the infotainment system. At the top of the range, the Titanium trim receives an upgraded 12-speaker Sony stereo system, a sensor for the liftgate, ambient interior lighting, keyless ignition, and several active safety features. Interior room for the 2018 Escape is decent but unremarkable for its class, with 34 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 68 cubic feet with the seatbacks folded.
The Escape is also decent but unremarkable in its crash-testing performance. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the 2017 model top Good results in most areas but only an Acceptable score in the small-overlap frontal test, while the National Highway Traffic and Safety Association (NHTSA) awarded the 2018 model a 5-star overall rating. Every Escape is equipped with a reversing camera and the MyKey system, which allows the owner to place limits on the vehicle’s maximum speed and other functions. Optional safety tech includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, front and rear parking sensors, parking assist, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping alert.

Love it!! Very nicely appointed with more tech than Ive learned how to use yet. Im still shocked that this was a $20,000 car even though it has 100,000 miles it feels brand new and smells like it too!! The remote start and fully adjustable driver and passenger leather heated seats are just two of the extras that I really appreciate. Its not missing anything, except a sunroof.

How much does the 2018 Ford Escape cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $11,425 |
| Year-Round Low | $11,424 |
| Year-Round High | $12,273 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $12,270 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −6.89% |
Prices have softened 6.89% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 4,674 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2018 Ford Escape a good car?
Yes — the 2018 Ford Escape earns a 4.83/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners commonly praise its performance, interior space, value for money, stylish design, and decent mileage. That mix makes it appealing if you want a practical used SUV with broad everyday appeal. With 30.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, you also have a meaningful chance to find attractive pricing.
Is the 2018 Ford Escape reliable?
Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owner feedback highlights that many drivers feel good about the Escape’s overall ownership experience, and the repeated praise for value and performance supports that impression. The comments also suggest it can be a dependable choice if you prioritize a used SUV that owners have generally enjoyed over time.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is buying a poorly maintained example, so condition and service history matter more than the badge alone.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Ford Escape?
At 71% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection on any car that looks especially appealing on price. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the vehicle has been maintained consistently, since those details can matter more than small cosmetic differences.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Ford Escape?
This looks like a moderate market where selective shoppers can still find value if they compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 4,674 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.89% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 71.0% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $11,424, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Ford Escape's resale value?
The current average of $11,425 sits slightly below last year's $12,270.
That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle, but it also means future resale gains may be limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, buying well below the current average gives you more room to preserve value. Strong condition and clean history should matter a lot if you want the best possible exit price.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.83/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 Ford Escape or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 71% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 6.89% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $10,533, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $11,425 average.
- Ford gave it a refresh that improved the cabin and added more modern features.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger all-around value proposition, the 2018 is the better primary target because it combines solid owner satisfaction with a softer price trend and decent deal availability. If your budget is tighter, the 2017 is the better secondary path because it costs less and may still deliver the refreshed features you want.
