- Owners rate the Ford Escape between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by checking history reports carefully, especially on older examples where accident-free inventory is lower.
What should I look for when buying a used Ford Escape?
Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 79.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 92.6% |
| 2025 | 91.9% |
| 2024 | 91.2% |

| 2016 | 67% |
| 2015 | 63.2% |
| 2014 | 63.6% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.
Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot360 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.
- Infotainment: Sync 4 with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 13.2-inch touchscreen on upper trims.
- Fuel efficiency: 192-horsepower hybrid powertrain expected to get 39 mpg in combined driving; turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder averages 26 mpg in combined driving; 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder is rated for 180 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque.
Which Ford Escape trim should I buy?
The 2024 Ford Escape offers these trims:
- Active: The entry point in the lineup, with the core Escape design and everyday comfort.
- ST-Line: A strong value choice if you want the hybrid powertrain and a sportier appearance.
- ST-Line Select: Adds the 2.0-liter turbocharged setup and more upscale equipment.
- ST-Line Elite: Brings the most premium-feeling ST-Line treatment, including the larger tech setup and available luxury touches.
- Platinum: The upper trim for shoppers who want a more upscale Escape experience.
- Plug-in Hybrid: The electrified choice with lots of standard equipment and more than 35 miles of electric-only driving range.
What Ford Escape do most buyers choose?
The Ford Escape years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 9,671 | 37.8% |
| 2023 | 8,184 | 36.5% |

| 2018 | 4,679 | 32.6% |
| 2019 | 4,455 | 33.3% |
Higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing competition, and a wider spread of trims and equipment. That usually makes it easier to find a version that fits your budget and feature priorities.
What is the Ford Escape's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|

Several years have double-digit drops, while the newer entries are falling more modestly. That mix suggests you may find stronger value in recent model years without giving up the newer features.
The 2024, 2023, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Ford Escape now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −16.22% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.77%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 39% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 37.8%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $22,837. The Ford Escape offers a comfortable, practical cabin with broad everyday appeal.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The 2024 Escape offers a 192-horsepower hybrid powertrain expected to get 39 mpg in combined driving, plus a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque that averages 26 mpg in combined driving.
- Tech: The 2024 Escape features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 13.2-inch Sync 4 infotainment system, Amazon Alexa, and a complimentary three-year subscription to connected navigation.
- Safety: The latest model adds Ford Co-Pilot360 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.
- Starting price: The manufacturer’s suggested retail price rises to nearly $35,000 for a front-drive hybrid model.
If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Reviewed a 2017 Ford SE FWD on Sep 30, 2026
Great value with added features. Comparable to a jeep compass but with a more powerful engine. Nothing seems to be missing for me! It has 2 usb plug ins and 2 cigarette lighters for charging all the things.

Why it stands out
The 2023 Ford Escape stands out as a compact crossover with an upscale, tech-forward feel. It offers an impressive array of safety and infotainment technology, and its available powerful engine upgrade gives it extra passing speed for shoppers who want more punch. The Escape also has a handsome design that helps it feel more polished than a basic commuter SUV.
At the same time, the 2023 Ford Escape is not without drawbacks. It may feel a bit cramped for some shoppers, and its interior materials can feel cheap. Wind noise is another downside, and it is priced on the higher end of the segment, which makes its value proposition less compelling than its feature list might suggest.
