Finding your perfect SUV means finding the right model and trim level that matches your lifestyle, budget, and priorities.
At Mike Reichenbach Ford, we love helping Florence SUV shoppers discover which model checks all their boxes. And with six different trims to choose from, the 2025 Ford Escape lineup is versatile enough for every driver.
Whether you’re drawn to the value-packed base model, looking for premium features and refined style, or ready to embrace plug-in hybrid efficiency, we’ll guide you through every option so you can drive home in your perfect match.
Here are the 2025 Ford Escape trim levels and their key features:
| Trim Level | Key Features |
|---|---|
| Active | If you’re looking for a compact SUV that delivers on all the essentials, your search is over. The Escape Active offers basic equipment, comfortable seating, an 8-inch touchscreen display with the SYNC® 4 operating system, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto capability. |
| ST-Line | The ST-Line adds sportier exterior styling, including 18″ Rock Metallic-painted aluminum wheels, a black mesh grille, and a large single-wing spoiler. |
| ST-Line Select | Building on the ST-Line, this model adds more comfort, convenience, and tech features, including remote start, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. You’ll also get more engine power and AWD. |
| Platinum | The luxurious Platinum edition is outfitted with premium touches inside and out. It’s outfitted with more standard equipment, like a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, synthetic leather upholstery, and rain-sensing front wipers. AWD is available. |
| ST-Line Elite | The ST-Line Elite is the perfect combination of sporty and upscale design. With 19-inch wheels and higher-end features, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a navigation system, a wireless charging pad, and impressive driver assist features, it punches above its weight. |
| Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) | If your top priority is fuel efficiency and electric-assist, the hybrid Escape is for you. |
Escape Your Way: Comparing Powertrain Options
The right engine makes all the difference in how your Escape feels on the road—and at the pump. Ford offers four distinct powertrain options across the 2025 Escape lineup:
Efficient 1.5L Turbo Engine
The Active and ST-Line trims feature a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that delivers 180 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive, this powertrain strikes the perfect balance between fuel efficiency and performance. All-wheel drive is available if you need extra traction for challenging weather or light off-road adventures.
Performance-Focused 2.0L Turbo Engine
Step up to the ST-Line Select or higher trims, and you’ll get the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. This engine jumps up to 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. All Wheel Drive comes standard, giving you confident handling and quicker acceleration, whether you’re merging onto the highway or cruising winding roads.
Hybrid Efficiency: The Best of Both Worlds
Available on the ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum trims, the hybrid powertrain combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for 192 total horsepower. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) optimizes fuel economy, achieving 42 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. Front-wheel drive is standard, but the Platinum hybrid upgrades to all-wheel drive for enhanced capability.
Plug-In Hybrid: Maximum Flexibility
The Escape PHEV takes efficiency even further with a plug-in hybrid system that produces 210 horsepower and fuel economy as high as 44 mpg. This powertrain runs on pure electric power for short trips, then seamlessly switches to hybrid mode for longer drives—giving you the best of both worlds. Note that the PHEV is front-wheel drive only, without an all-wheel drive option.
