How much does the 2025 Ford Escape cost?

Prices have softened 16.43% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,842 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2025 Ford Escape a good car?

The 2025 Ford Escape sits in a moderate market position, with pricing that has moved down meaningfully from last year and a large inventory base to shop from. That combination can work in your favor if you want to compare condition, mileage, and equipment carefully rather than rush into the first acceptable listing.

With 34.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a meaningful chance of finding a competitively priced example.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Ford Escape?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the listing matches the car’s actual condition and equipment. Prioritize a thorough inspection of wear items, body panels, tires, brakes, and any signs of prior repair, even when the listing appears clean. Focus on overall condition and maintenance evidence, since a strong accident-free rate does not replace a careful pre-purchase check.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Ford Escape?

The market looks selective rather than overheated, which gives you room to shop carefully and negotiate on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,842 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.43% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $23,396, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Ford Escape's resale value?

The current average of $23,396 sits slightly below last year's $27,997.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. If you plan to sell later, your resale outcome will depend heavily on mileage, condition, and how well the vehicle is equipped. A well-kept example should hold up better than one that shows visible wear or incomplete service history.

Should I buy a 2025 Ford Escape or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.43% compared with last year.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $22,874, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $23,396 average.
• It offers multiple powertrain choices and a comfortable ride.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2025 if you want the broader current-market inventory and are focused on finding a clean, fairly priced example. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2024 is the better value path, especially if you find one in strong condition with the equipment you want.
