2025 Ford Escape

The 2025 Ford Escape has a fresh face this year, available in several trim levels. The introductory Active™ trim provides a solid foundation with a clean silhouette, black-and-chrome grille framed by LED headlamps, and sporty bodyside cladding and rocker panels. The ST-Line trim builds on this for an even more athletic exterior with a black mesh grille, black skid plates, black accents, and 18” Rock Metallic alloy wheels. The flashier ST-Line Select and ST-Line Elite feature a bolder fascia that exudes confidence, LED light bar headlamps, 19” Ebony wheels, and unique skid plates for a front-to-back signature look. For those seeking a premium experience, the Platinum trim represents the pinnacle of the Escape lineup, showing off satin chrome finishes, a multi-bar grille, and adaptive lighting. Colors like Vapor Blue Metallic and Rapid Red turn heads all over St. Louis.

The 2025 Ford Escape’s engine range is designed to meet diverse performance needs. The 1.5L EcoBoost® engine generates 180 hp and 199 lbs.-ft. of torque, providing a balanced blend of efficiency and power. For more intense performance, the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine amps that up to 250 hp and 280 lbs.-ft. of torque, offering a robust performance that excels on highways and winding roads. For eco-conscious drivers, the Escape Plug-In Hybrid offers an eco-friendly alternative with the flexibility to drive on electric power alone for short distances, while still offering ample horsepower when the gas engine kicks in.

This driving experience urges you to do what the name suggests—escape for a road trip or just the long way home. The 2025 Ford Escape delivers agility, control, and strength in equal measure, equipped with front-wheel drive as standard. Available all-wheel drive with AWD disconnect enhances stability in challenging weather or when off-roading. The advanced suspension system ensures a smooth and comfortable ride, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the road while maintaining stability at high speeds. The 2.0L EcoBoost® engine is particularly noteworthy for its swift acceleration and impressive towing capacity—up to 3,500 lbs.—ideal for hauling light trailers or heavy gear for weekend adventures. Meanwhile, the hybrid models offer excellent fuel efficiency, making them perfect for those who seek a greener, more economical option without sacrificing performance.

This interior promises comfort and convenience for up to 5 passengers, with ample headroom and legroom that ensures taller individuals can enjoy long journeys with ease. Comfortable seating, and ActiveX®-trimmed sport seats with heating provide long-distance comfort and support for spirited drives. A 13.2” touchscreen SYNC® 4 infotainment system incorporates wireless smartphone connectivity, Enhanced Voice Recognition, and cloud-connected navigation, keeping you in touch and on the right path wherever you roam. Ambient lighting, a Bose® premium sound system, available panoramic roof, soft-touch surfaces, and noise-cancelling tech add to the immersive experience. The sliding, reclining rear seats fold down easily, opening up 65.4 cu. ft. of cargo area for your everyday errands or luggage.

Ford prioritizes safety in the 2025 Escape, equipping it with a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies. Standard Ford Co-Pilot360™ includes features such as Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping Assist, and a Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert. These technologies help prevent accidents by providing alerts, intervening when necessary. Additionally, available Active Park Assist 2.0 makes parking easier by taking over control of the steering, ensuring hassle-free parallel and perpendicular parking. A Head-Up Display projects speed and safety alerts directly onto the windshield, reducing distraction. The impressive towing capacity is supported by tech like Pro Trailer Backup Assist™, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™, and Trailer Reverse Guidance, covering you from every angle.
