How much does the 2024 Ford Escape cost?

Prices have softened 4.47% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,673 listings available, which suggests you should have a healthy number of options to compare.

Is the 2024 Ford Escape a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Ford Escape earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.2/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 8/10.

The 2024 Escape is a compact crossover that still offers multiple powertrain options, a comfortable ride, and impressive technology. That combination makes it appealing if you want variety and a well-equipped cabin for commuting, kid shuttling, and errand running.

The trade-offs are clear, though: the interior materials feel cheap, cargo space is uncompetitive, and the model is described as a poor value for money. Even so, the market shows 35.8% good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Ford Escape reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2024 Escape is presented as a familiar carryover with no major changes after a substantial 2023 update, and its available technology and comfort-oriented setup suggest a vehicle built to serve daily use well. The expert evaluation also points to a comfortable ride and multiple powertrain choices, both of which can support a low-stress ownership experience.

Its performance notes also suggest the Escape’s turbocharged setup is capable and efficient enough for everyday driving, while the hybrid is positioned as the more cost-conscious choice. If you buy used, the main long-term risk is that the model’s value proposition is weaker than its rivals, so condition and price matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Ford Escape?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing price is near the top of the range. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the equipment level matches what you expect from the trim.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and Plug-in Hybrid. The Base trim appears to be canceled, and lower trims use a smaller 8-inch display, while upper trims get a 12.3-inch display and more upscale equipment.
• Powertrain: The Escape offers a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with 180 horsepower, a 192-horsepower hybrid, and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid is the efficiency play, while the 2.0-liter setup is quicker but less compelling on value.
• Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high-beam headlights. Higher trims can add adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, predictive speed assist, evasive steering assist, lane-centering assist, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system.
• Infotainment: Lower trims get an 8-inch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L, and FordPass Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot access. Upper trims add a 12.3-inch display, and the 13.2-inch Sync 4 system brings Amazon Alexa and a complimentary three-year connected-navigation subscription.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid is rated to return up to 39 mpg in combined driving, while the turbocharged 2.0-liter setup averages 26 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2024 Ford Escape trim should I buy?

The 2024 Ford Escape is offered in 6 trim levels: Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and Plug-in Hybrid.

Here's the short version:

• Active: This is the entry point if you want the Escape’s core formula without paying for the more expensive appearance and equipment upgrades. It should suit you if you mainly want the standard 1.5-liter turbo setup and the basic tech and safety content.
• ST-Line: This is the best-value trim if you want the hybrid powertrain, because the cost-effectiveness content points to the hybrid as the smarter long-term choice. It also gives you a sportier look without jumping into the pricier upper trims.
• ST-Line Select: This trim adds more equipment and can be paired with the stronger 2.0-liter turbo engine, but the expert notes suggest that engine is not the best value for most buyers.
• ST-Line Elite: This is the loaded version, with the larger display, premium tech, and available upscale touches, but it is also the trim the expert review uses to illustrate the Escape’s weak value proposition.
• Platinum: This trim sits near the top of the lineup and is aimed at shoppers who want a more premium-feeling Escape with the available upper-end tech and comfort features.
• Plug-in Hybrid: This is the efficiency-focused choice if you want electric-only driving capability and lots of standard equipment, but it comes only with front-wheel drive.

Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, and higher trims can add more advanced driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Ford Escape?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,673 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.47% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,250, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Ford Escape's resale value?

The current average of $22,586 sits slightly below last year's $23,641.

That softer pricing suggests the Escape has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help a future seller if you buy at the right number. It also means your resale outcome will depend heavily on trim, condition, and how well the vehicle is equipped relative to rivals.

Because the model is still drawing interest and has a broad inventory pool, a well-kept example should remain easier to move than a neglected one. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Ford Escape safe?

The 2024 Escape earns five-star ratings across the board, aside from a four-star rollover resistance rating from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, with forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high-beam headlights. Higher trims can add adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, predictive speed assist, evasive steering assist, lane-centering assist, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system.

One caveat is that the IIHS had not rated the 2024 model at the time of the review, though the 2023 Escape earned Good ratings except for a Marginal score in a side-impact test.

Should I buy a 2024 Ford Escape or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 35.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.47% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Ford appears to have dropped the Base trim this year, and the model carries over the 2023 update.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $22,423, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $22,586 average.
• It offers a handsome, tech-forward SUV with a more upscale look than many rivals.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest version of this generation and are comfortable shopping carefully, the 2024 is the cleaner pick. If your priority is saving a little money up front, the 2023 is the better value-oriented alternative.
