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 % |

| 2018 | 4,679 | 32.6% |

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.
