The Ford Escape is exemplary of the compact crossover class. It offers a cozy and spacious cabin, versatile cargo options, and multiple powertrain options in a city-friendly package with convenient space requirements. It's also nicely equipped with several amenities and tech features. To demonstrate what makes the Escape an excellent pick for your next daily driver, here's a quick look at some of the highlights.
Performance
The 2025 Ford Escape offers a comprehensive powertrain roster to suit many needs and preferences. The standard engine in Active and ST-Line trim is a perky 1.5-liter EcoBoost® turbo-three with 181 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. Want something more potent to power your Post Falls drives? A 2.0-liter turbo-four is standard in Select, Elite, and Platinum models, increasing output to 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. If efficiency is your primary priority, you can get a 2.5-liter hybrid engine (192 horsepower) in all but the base trim. There's also the Escape Plug-in Hybrid, a standalone one-trim variant (210 horsepower) with an impressive 37 miles of EPA-estimated electric-only range.
Most models start with front-wheel drive. However, if you're seeking more surefooted all-season handling and control, all-wheel drive is standard in Select and Elite trims and available for all others.
Interior and Utility
The Ford Escape offers spacious and inviting accommodations. Cozy and supportive seats, modern styling, and ample front and rear passenger room make the cabin a pleasant place to pass the miles. Plus, the rear seats slide back and forth, allowing you to prioritize rear legroom or increase storage capacity from 33.5 to 37.5 cubic feet. When you need more cargo space for your Liberty Lake outings, you can fold the rear seats to reveal 65.4 cubic feet.
The Ford Escape is well-equipped with desirable amenities, including standard features like a proximity entry, a power driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power liftgate. Depending on the configuration, you can enjoy upgrades like:
- Heated front seats
- Heated steering wheel
- Driver-position memory
- Hands-free liftgate
- Leatherette or leather upholstery
- Wireless charging pad
- Panoramic Vista Roof®
Infotainment and Safety Technology
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide intuitive access to smartphone features like hands-free calls, music, navigation, streaming media, and more without cable clutter. Most models have an 8.4-inch touchscreen. However, a 13.2-inch touchscreen system, enhanced voice recognition, and a customizable 12.3-inch instrument panel are standard in Elite, Platinum, and PHEV models. With the available head-up display, you can keep track of important vehicle information without taking your eyes off the road.
While there's no substitute for keeping alert behind the wheel, the Ford Escape helps provide an extra degree of confidence and convenience courtesy of an extensive driver assistance roster. All models come standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™ technologies like:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- BLIS (Blind Spot Information System)
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Driver Alert
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
Additional advanced driver aids are available via certain packages, a 360-degree camera system, Evasive Steering Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, and more.
