The 2024 Ford Escape offers these trims:
- Active: This is the entry point for the 2024 lineup and gives you the core Escape formula with the updated styling and technology.

- ST-Line Select: This trim builds on the ST-Line with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and AWD, plus a more upscale equipment mix.
- ST-Line Elite: This trim adds more premium content, including the larger display and available tech upgrades, and it suits you if you want a more loaded Escape.
- Platinum: This trim brings the higher-end feel and the stronger turbocharged powertrain, making it the choice for shoppers who want a more premium setup.

Should I buy a used Ford Escape now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −16.18% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −5.74%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.7% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33.3%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $22,970. The Ford Escape offers a comfortable ride and practical everyday usability that make it easy to live with.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The 2024 Escape offers a 192-horsepower hybrid powertrain expected to get 39 mpg in combined driving, or a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 horsepower, 280 pound-feet of torque, and 26 mpg in combined driving.
- Tech: Lower trims feature wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, and FordPass Connect services, including access to a Wi-Fi hotspot, while the larger 13.2-inch touchscreen version adds Amazon Alexa and a complimentary three-year subscription to connected navigation.
- Safety: The 2024 Escape has a standard Ford Co-Pilot360 collection of driving assistance systems, including 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: Ford offers the 2024 Escape in Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and Plug-in Hybrid trim levels, with prices ranging from $29,345 to $40,500.
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 2015 Ford Escape on Jun 3, 2026
It has a 2.5L naturally aspirated motor. The two smaller motors Ford used are not as reliable. This motor is very reliable. Plenty of interior room and trunk space. Very happy with the car.

Why it stands out
The 2023 Ford Escape stands out as a compact crossover with a long history, but it now feels somewhat overshadowed by Ford’s newer Bronco Sport. Even so, it still sells well in a competitive field, and its available up-powered engine gives it an advantage for shoppers who want extra passing speed. It also brings an impressive array of safety and infotainment technology, along with an upscale, handsome design that helps it feel more modern than its age might suggest.
At the same time, the 2023 Ford Escape is not without drawbacks. It may feel a bit cramped for some shoppers, and it is priced on the higher end of the segment. The interior materials can feel cheap, and wind noise is another weakness. Even with those compromises, it remains appealing for buyers who value comfort, strong available performance, and a tech-forward approach in a practical SUV.
