Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The latest model 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: The latest model adds a 13.2-inch Sync 4 infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, and a complimentary three-year subscription to connected navigation.

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.

Ford Escape test drive
overall
One of the original compact crossovers, the Ford Escape, might be nearing the end of its life.
Reportedly, Ford will discontinue the Escape at the end of the current fourth-generation run. Once among the most popular vehicles in its class, Ford recently zigged with the Escape’s design and positioning when the market zagged. Boxy, rugged-looking crossovers are what people want, not soft and sophisticated pseudo-cars like the current Escape. Fortunately, Ford has the Bronco Sport in its lineup, which is getting all of the automaker’s attention. Meanwhile, the 2024 Ford Escape receives no major changes following a substantial makeover in 2023, though it appears the Base trim is canceled.
