31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Ford Escape models reliable?
Owners and experts consistently point to the Escape’s comfort, usable space, and easy daily driving character. Across the model years in the data, owner ratings stay strong, and the newer expert reviews reinforce the Escape’s appeal as a practical compact SUV with broad powertrain and tech coverage.
- Owners rate the Ford Escape between 4.0 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by checking history carefully, especially on older examples where accident-free rates are lower.
What should I look for when buying a used Ford Escape?
Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 80% — always verify the vehicle history report.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 93% |
| 2025 | 92% |
| 2024 | 91.3% |
| 2023 | 88.7% |
| 2022 | 85.9% |
| 2021 | 79.4% |
| 2020 | 74.1% |
| 2019 | 71.4% |
| 2018 | 69.6% |
| 2017 | 68.3% |
| 2016 | 67.6% |
| 2015 | 64.2% |
| 2014 | 64.4% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2021 models.
Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot360 with forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high-beam headlights.
- Infotainment: Sync 4 infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, and FordPass Connect services, including access to a Wi-Fi hotspot.
- Fuel efficiency: 192-horsepower hybrid powertrain expected to get 39 mpg in combined driving; turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder averages 26 mpg in combined driving; 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine rated for 180 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque.
Which Ford Escape trim should I buy?
The 2024 Ford Escape offers these trims:
- Active: The entry point in the 2024 lineup, with the Escape’s updated styling and core comfort-and-tech appeal.
- ST-Line: The best-value trim, since it unlocks the hybrid powertrain and keeps the Escape’s modern tech and sporty appearance in reach.
- ST-Line Select: Adds the stronger 2.0-liter turbocharged setup and a more upscale equipment mix.
- ST-Line Elite: Builds on ST-Line Select with the most premium-feeling presentation in the lineup, including the larger tech display and available upscale equipment.
- Platinum: Adds a more premium trim position in the lineup for shoppers who want a richer feature set.
- Plug-in Hybrid: The electrified choice for buyers who want the Escape’s plug-in capability and more than 35 miles of electric-only driving range.
What Ford Escape do most buyers choose?
The Ford Escape years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 9,542 | 33.4% |
| 2023 | 8,074 | 32.7% |
| 2025 | 6,842 | 34.5% |
| 2022 | 5,706 | 32.5% |
| 2018 | 4,715 | 31.3% |
| 2019 | 4,455 | 31.7% |
These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, trim, and price. They also tend to sit near the sweet spot between newer features and broader used-market availability.
What is the Ford Escape's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $23,396 | −16.43% |
| 2021 | $15,966 | −14.08% |
| 2022 | $19,281 | −11.51% |

| 2023 | $22,987 | −4.89% |
| 2024 | $22,874 | −4.83% |
Most model years are down year over year, and several recent ones show especially sharp drops. That pattern is favorable if you’re shopping used, because it means you can often find newer Escapes at meaningfully lower prices than a year ago. The smallest changes are concentrated in the newest model years, which suggests those versions have softened less than the older ones in the table.
The 2024, 2023, and 2015 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Reviewed a 2015 Ford Escape on Jun 3, 2026
It has a 2.5L naturally aspirated motor. The two smaller motors Ford used are not as reliable. This motor is very reliable. Plenty of interior room and trunk space. Very happy with the car.

CarGurus recommends the 2023 Ford Escape
Summary
With 8,076 currently listed for sale and an average price of $22,994, 32.6% of 2023 Ford Escapes for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2023 Ford Escape 5 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.17 / 10.
88.7% of 2023 Escape models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Ford Escape stands out as a compact crossover with a long history, but it now feels somewhat overshadowed by Ford’s newer Bronco Sport. Even so, it still sells well in a competitive field, and its available up-powered engine gives it an advantage for shoppers who want extra passing speed. It also brings an impressive array of safety and infotainment technology, along with an upscale, handsome design that helps it feel more modern than its age might suggest.
At the same time, the 2023 Ford Escape is not without drawbacks. It may feel a bit cramped for some shoppers, and it is priced on the higher end of the segment. The interior materials can feel cheap, and wind noise is another weakness. Even with those compromises, it remains appealing for buyers who value comfort, strong available performance, and a tech-forward approach in a practical SUV.
