2025 Ford Escape

The 2025 Ford Escape arrives with distinct personality and presence across multiple trims. The Active trim combines sleek, functional lines with a black mesh grille and LED signature lighting that adds a sharp, contemporary look. The ST-Line elevates aggression with a gloss black grille, black roof-rack side rails, and exclusive 18-inch Rock Metallic-painted wheels, making it a sport-inspired standout. The ST-Line Select adds even bolder aesthetic refinements and available 19-inch machined-face wheels. The ST-Line Elite maximizes visual sophistication with chrome beltline molding and upgraded LED fog lamps. Meanwhile, the Platinum trim exudes upscale charm, showcasing a coast-to-coast LED lightbar, satin chrome accents, and premium full-body design touches that make it the pinnacle of the Escape family.

The Escape’s refined powertrain lineup delivers performance tailored to every kind of driver. Standard power comes from a 1.5L EcoBoost engine with Auto Start-Stop technology, offering responsive torque and enhanced efficiency without sacrificing highway pull. The available 2.0L EcoBoost engine steps up the game, infusing every drive with quick acceleration and towing confidence. Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid variants merge gasoline and electric power to reduce emissions and extend fuel economy, all while offering uncompromised performance on inclines or snow-drifted roads.

The Escape moves with fluid confidence, thanks to a finely tuned suspension and optional AWD with AWD Disconnect. Whether navigating snowy stretches of U.S. Route 51 or weaving through Minocqua’s wooded outskirts, the Escape holds tight with precise handling and robust traction. Selectable drive modes — including Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Snow/Sand — recalibrate performance for varied terrain or weather with the turn of a dial. The available towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds with the 2.0L EcoBoost empowers drivers to haul with certainty, whether it’s gear for a Northwoods adventure or equipment for work up north.

Inside, the Escape is sculpted around you. The ST-Line Elite and Platinum trims feature a 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen that flows into a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster — a seamless fusion of form and function. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration keeps you connected without cable clutter, while the available B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen bathes the cabin in concert-grade audio. With two-row seating for up to five and a sliding second row that adds over five inches of cargo flexibility, this SUV adjusts to your life — from weekday commutes to weekend getaways. Optional features like ActiveX-trimmed seats, dual-zone climate control, and panoramic Vista Roof further elevate every journey with premium comfort.

Confidence is built into every inch of the 2025 Escape. Ford Co-Pilot360 technology is standard and comprehensive, including Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane-Keeping System. Available upgrades such as Active Park Assist 2.0 and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering enable semi-autonomous capabilities that support safer long-distance drives or tight parallel parking in downtown Minocqua. The Escape’s high-strength steel body frame and advanced airbag system provide additional peace of mind, anchoring its reputation for uncompromising protection.
