2021 Ford Escape

$15,699
Overview
The 2022 Ford Escape is a spacious, efficient compact SUV with intuitive technology and clean, handsome styling. The Escape was fully redesigned in 2020. It carries over to 2022 largely unchanged. The Escape provides up to 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded. With the rear seats in use, it provides 37.5 cubic feet of cargo space.
Trims for the Escape are S, SE, SEL, and Titanium. The S comes standard with 17-inch steel wheels, a 60/40 split-fold rear bench that slides fore and aft, a six-speaker stereo, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a 4.2-inch instrument panel screen, and a 4.2-inch audio display with Bluetooth and USB connectivity.
Moving up to the SE adds an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also adds 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, satellite radio, push-button start, and remote keyless entry. An available Convenience Package adds dual-zone automatic climate control, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a power rear liftgate.
The SEL trim brings niceties such as LED signature lighting, exterior keypad access, dual chrome exhaust tips, remote start, and all the features from the Convenience Package. It also adds synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. This trim is available with a Technology Package that adds a hands-free power liftgate, wireless device charging, a fully digital instrument panel, and a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium stereo system. The range-topping Titanium trim adds some features from the Technology Package, as well as leather upholstery, navigation, and a power-adjustable front passenger seat.
The base engine in the Escape is a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine that makes 181 horsepower. It routes power to the front wheels, or to all four if buyers opt for available all-wheel drive. The upgraded engine is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 250 horsepower to all-wheel drive. Both engines route power through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Ford also offers hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains for the Escape—these are covered in separate reviews. When properly equipped, the Escape can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
The most efficient version of the Ford Escape pairs the 1.5-liter engine with front-wheel drive. It returns 28 mpg city, 34 highway, and 30 combined. With this engine and all-wheel drive, the Escape returns 26 mpg city, 31 highway, and 28 combined. The 2.0-liter engine with all-wheel drive returns 22 mpg city, 31 highway, and 26 combined.
The Escape comes with a terrific list of standard driver assistance features, including forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and driver drowsiness monitoring. Available safety tech includes lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control, a head-up display, and traffic-sign recognition.
Base MSRP for the 2022 Ford Escape is $26,510 for the base S trim. The Escape SE starts at $27,895, and the SEL starts at $30,220. The range-topping Titanium trim starts at $36,630. The Ford Escape is backed by a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

I think it is a little bit pricey being it from 2021. During turns, the car was a little hard, but overall the car is super luxurious for me. Smooth driving.

This was loaded with features and it was a great value. It is only missing side steps. I am short and it is high for me.

Is the 2022 Ford Escape a good car?
Yes — the 4.67/5 user rating suggests you’re looking at a model year that owners generally value highly.
That kind of score points to broad satisfaction with day-to-day ownership, which matters when you’re comparing used crossovers in a crowded segment.
29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you still have room to shop selectively.
Is the 2022 Ford Escape reliable?
Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
For used buyers, that usually means you should focus less on the badge and more on how each individual vehicle was maintained, because condition and service history will drive your ownership risk.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Ford Escape?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still review the report carefully for prior damage, title issues, and repeated repairs, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the vehicle has higher mileage or incomplete service records. Pay close attention to tire wear, brake condition, cabin wear, and any signs that the car has been used hard.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Ford Escape?
This looks like a moderate market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay selective.
- Deal availability: 29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 5,666 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.85% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 86.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $19,972.69, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2022 Ford Escape's resale value?
The current average of $19,957 sits slightly below last year's $22,137.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point today. For a future seller, that also means resale value will depend heavily on how well your vehicle holds up against similar listings. Clean history, strong condition, and good maintenance records should matter more if you want to protect value later.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2022 Ford Escape or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2022 if:
- 29.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.85% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $16,468, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $19,957 average.
- It offers multiple powertrains and a comfortable ride.
Consider the 2023 if:
- At $23,206, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $19,957 average.
- It adds more safety and infotainment technology.
The bottom line:
The 2022 is the best all-around starting point if you want a balanced mix of price, satisfaction, and available inventory. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2021 is the smarter value play, while the 2023 makes sense only if you want to spend more for newer-feeling tech and features.
