Exploring the Trim Levels of the 2025 Ford Escape
Active
Powered by a 180-hp 1.5L EcoBoost engine with start-and-stop technology, the entry-level Active trim is a great choice for commuters and first-time buyers. Standard front-wheel drive delivers impressive fuel economy ratings of 30 MPG combined, while all-wheel drive is available if you need more confidence in adverse weather. Inside, the spacious five-seat cabin comes with sliding rear seats for a generous legroom of up to 40.7 inches.
ST-Line
The ST-Line comes with the same standard powertrain as the Active trim, but it can be had with a conventional hybrid engine that provides fuel economy ratings of up to 39 MPG combined. Sport-inspired styling inside-out and comfortable sport contour bucket seats with eight-way power adjustments for the driver make this trim stand out from the crowd.
ST-Line Select
Drivers looking for more power can find a spirited engine in the ST-Line Select model. This trim comes standard with a 250-hp 2.0L EcoBoost engine that provides smoother acceleration and a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. Standard all-wheel drive makes this model a great choice for outdoor adventures. Comfort upgrades include heated front seats and a heated steering wheel that will keep you toasty in cold weather.
ST-Line Elite
With its stylish headlamps with LED light bars, the ST-Line Elite knows how to catch the eye. Interior upgrades are abundant and include a 12.3-inch full-digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 infotainment system with built-in navigation. For enhanced comfort, the driver’s seat boasts ten-way power adjustments and memory.
Platinum
A great choice for families who want it all, the Platinum trim impresses with a stylish and practical interior with stain-resistant ActiveX seating surfaces. Automatic headlamps with courtesy delay will illuminate your path when leaving the vehicle, while an optional panoramic sunroof is a great upgrade if you want to add more brightness and fresh air to the cabin. Available upgrades also include a heads-up display and a ten-speaker B&O sound system.
Plug-In Hybrid
If you want the freedom of a gas engine and the advantages of an electric vehicle, choose the Escape Plug-In Hybrid. This is the only model in the lineup powered by a 2.5L inline-4 PHEV engine with 210 horsepower and fuel economy ratings of up to 101 MPGe combined.
