2025 Ford Escape

The 2025 Ford Escape is available in five trims levels. The base Active trim comes with black beltline and upper window molding, body-color door handles, and 17-inch Shadow Silver-painted aluminum wheels. The sporty-looking ST-Line variant has 18-inch Rock Metallic-painted aluminum wheels, a black mesh grille, and large single-wing spoiler that creates an athletic profile. The ST-Line Select includes LED fog lamps, body-color heated mirrors for improved visibility, and optional black roof-rail crossbars. An LED light bar and chrome beltline molding add sophistication to the Platinum trim, as well as 19-inch machine-faced aluminum wheels. The ST-Line Elite maintains the ST-Line Select's sporty character while incorporating additional premium elements such as a bold grille and spoiler and additional color choices.

There are two powerful engines to choose from. The Active and ST-Line feature a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. For more power, the ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum trims come equipped with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that produces 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. Both engines pair with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is also available across all trims.
