With four available powertrain options, the 2025 Ford Escape remains one of the most appealing small SUVs in its class. Many drivers love the Escape's versatile interior, sporty exterior styling, and impressive list of modern tech features. Here's an overview of this vehicle's key highlights.
Rated to develop a competitive 180 horsepower, the Escape's base 1.5L EcoBoost engine allows you to effortlessly navigate the road. Drivers who seek more exhilarating performance can step up to a more potent 2.0L EcoBoost engine, which develops 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Not only does the extra muscle ensure especially strong acceleration, but it also increases the SUV's maximum towing capacity to 3,500 pounds. Yet another option is the Escape's plug-in hybrid powertrain. It develops a combined 210 horsepower while also benefiting from an all-electric driving mode. A traditional hybrid engine with 192 horsepower is offered as well. The availability of all-wheel drive adds to the Escape's versatility.
The Escape is designed to seat up to five people, thus making it an excellent choice for small families. Because the cabin provides over 40 inches of legroom in the front, even tall passengers can stretch out. Whether you're commuting to work or taking a spontaneous road trip, look forward to enjoying a relaxing drive. Premium amenities, such as heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control, push comfort to the next stage. If you need to haul extra stuff, take full advantage of the Escape's excellent cargo space. At the touch of a button, the available power liftgate opens up to make loading gear a breeze.
If technology is an important aspect of your life, the new Escape is destined to leave you impressed. Ford's intuitive SYNC 4 infotainment system is found on every trim level. While an 8.0-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone connectivity comes standard, you can upgrade to a massive 13.2-inch touchscreen. Music fans who desire a powerful soundtrack will love the available B&O premium sound system. Other features offered on the Escape include a wireless charging pad, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot.
When it comes to passenger safety, the Escape continues to rank among the segment leaders. Standard Ford Co-Pilot360 gives you several advanced driver-assist technologies, including Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and a Blind Spot Information System. Engineered to automatically adjust your speed when traffic begins to slow, available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go promises to further lower your stress levels on the highway. Evasive Steering Assist and a surround-view camera system are offered as well.
