Should I buy a used Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-in now or wait for the next model?

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $27,502. The Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-in offers a comfortable ride and straightforward tech, which makes it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Tech: Sync 3 blends touchscreen controls with physical knobs and buttons, and the Escape Titanium’s 12.3-inch digital driver display looks and operates beautifully.
• Safety: Ford Co-Pilot 360 includes automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high beams.
• Starting price: If you want a plug-in hybrid Escape, you're going to be looking at a starting MSRP of $33,075.

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.
