This is your notice to get in on the 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid before it’s too late! If you don’t already know, this model year is the last for the compact SUV as we know it—Ford is replacing it with an as yet unnamed, fully electric model or keeping the nameplate and using it on an EV only vehicle. Let’s take a look at what this year’s model has to offer so you can get in on something truly special!
Key Takeaways:
- After 2025, the Ford Escape is no more—the automaker is discontinuing the Escape as for an as yet unnamed EV (or they may use the nameplate.) Whatever it decides to do, the Escape as we know it is no more.
- The Escape Hybrid remains largely unchanged in the coming year.
- Prices are terrific for buyers on a budget—the base trim is about $27,995.
What Changes Have been Made to the 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid?
As it is being discontinued, the Escape Hybrid remains mostly unchanged, but Ford has scaled back some features:
- Most trims now have a tire repair kit instead of a spare tire
- This Active (base) trim now has optional power front seats, and a power liftgate is optional for the lowest two trims.
- The 360-camera is now optional across the lineup.
- Ambient lighting on the Escape has been discontinued.
- While the Escape is roomy for a small SUV, headroom gets tight in the back
What Engine Does the 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid Have?
The Escape’s engine options remain the same:
- The base trim’s turbocharged 1.5-liter engine with front-wheel drive, generating 180 horsepower (all-wheel drive is optional)
- Upper trims’ turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with all-wheel drive, delivering 250 horsepower;
- A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors with optional all-wheel drive, cranking out 192 horsepower (combined). Its fuel economy is 42/36 mpg city/highway.
Is the Interior of the 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid Comfortable?
The Escape’s interior is roomy and comfortable. Even though it's a compact SUV, it’s not constricting in most cases. Front and rear seats are roomy for all occupants and offer ample cushioning. (The rear seats are a little tighter fit, but still spacious enough.) However, if you opt for the panoramic sunroof, taller passengers may find the headroom a little lacking.
Cabin controls are easy to reach and user-friendly with a large tablet display that sits front and center and controls most of Escape’s features. Drivers can also slide into immediate comfort, thanks to the numerous seat controls. The ride is smooth no matter how bumpy the road is, and the cabin’s dual-zone climate control system makes things even more comfortable.
A 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen system features everything you need to communicate and keep entertained during your journey. Features include:
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Wi-Fi hotspot
- Voice commands
- Smartphone syncing and integration:
- Advanced GPS with real-time traffic updates.
