The compact crossover class is a popular option for families on the go with the performance and fuel economy of a sedan married to the cargo and passenger space of a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) and the Ford Escape is a go-to option in the class. Tampa-area families interested in the Ford Escape as their next day-to-day vehicle may want to know - what’s new for the 2025 Ford Escape - and we may be able to answer your questions here at Brandon Ford with an overview of the 2025 Ford Escape release date and design specs.
What’s New for the 2025 Ford Escape?
A recent update to the Ford Escape template for the 2023 model year means that we will most likely not see any significant changes in the design of the latest compact Ford crossover. The 2025 Ford Escape is expected to start at $27,995 MSRP - a lower price point than the list price for the previous model. With the expected arrival of the 2025 Ford Escape in Fall 2024, the Ford Escape will feature the same athletic profile with room for five passengers in a spacious cabin and 37.5 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats. The 2025 Ford Escape will be available in five standard trim levels - Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, Platinum, ST-Line Elite - with the option for a Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid.
2025 Ford Escape Engine Options and Features
The athletic style of the 2025 Ford Escape is backed by an impressive list of engine options that include turbocharged EcoBoost® powertrains, a four-cylinder hybrid, and a more efficient plug-in hybrid. Ford Escape models with EcoBoost® engine options are married to an eight-speed automatic transmission - while hybrid and plug-in hybrid models employ an Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT). All Ford Escape models except the plug-in hybrid are available with all-wheel drive.

Will the Ford Escape Be Replaced by an Electric Vehicle?
More and more automakers are converting popular crossovers to electric vehicles (EVs) - like the Chevy Equinox EV - and rumors point to the 2025 Ford Escape as the last year of production for the gas-powered crossover. Rumors have indicated that the Ford Escape may be replaced by an all-electric crossover after this year - but the information has not yet been confirmed by Ford. Keep an eye on the Brandon Ford Blog for additional information on the future of the Ford lineup.
