Overview

Written by automotive expert Mark Takahashi

12/9/2025

The 2024 Ford Escape is the company's smallest SUV after Ford discontinued its subcompact offering, the EcoSport, a couple of years ago. The Escape measures about 8 inches shorter in length than the Ford Edge and is offered with additional hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options. The Escape is competitive against rival compact SUVs when it comes to practicality, comfort and efficiency, but it trails in regard to driving dynamics.

In general, the Escape is a worthy consideration in the class, but it's overshadowed by more capable alternatives. These include the Mazda CX-50, Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester. We point out where the Escape has its advantages as well as its rather significant flaws in our Expert Rating below.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Cameron Rogers

Good

7.9

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Ford Escape on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience: 0-60, engine & performance

7.5/10

How does the Escape Plug-In Hybrid drive? The Escape Plug-In Hybrid's performance is overshadowed either by rival plug-ins or other Escape versions. It gives you an immediate shove forward when you hit the accelerator but is ultimately a bit slow. We took our test vehicle to our test track and measured a 0-60 mph sprint of 8.1 seconds. This is a bit better than a regular Escape Hybrid but ultimately slower than a regular Escape with the upgraded engine or the hot-rod Toyota RAV4 Prime plug-in (5.6 seconds). The Escape PHEV is also a little soft and ponderous around corners. The steering can feel overly light and doesn't give you a good sense of the road or what the front tires are up to.

It's not all doom and gloom, however. While the brake pedal does require a fair push to slow the Escape, it's easy to come to smooth stops. The Escape Plug-In Hybrid also performed well in our 60-0 mph panic-stop tests.

Comfort: seats, ease of use, and getting in & out

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Escape Plug-In Hybrid? Overall, we're happy with the level of comfort offered. The front seats are well shaped and comfortable. The rear bench — though a little flat — is also nice, offering good thigh support. Our Titanium trim test vehicle included a height-adjustable passenger seat, which is a rarity in this class. The ride quality is generally relaxed, though driving over certain bumps causes harsher impacts in the cabin than we've noticed in other Escape models.

The Escape Plug-In Hybrid moves smoothly away from a stoplight with all-electric power. The experience is noticeably more pleasant than in non-hybrid Escapes; they have an engine stop-start system that roughly brings the engine to life after you leave a stop.

The automatic climate system delivers plenty of airflow on hot days, and it features a three-stage system that allows you to set a maximum fan speed. Unlike rivals, ventilated front seats and heated rear seats are not available on any trim.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The Escape's cabin is functional and pleasantly laid out. There's plenty of room all around, though headroom might run out for very tall rear occupants in models with the panoramic sunroof. The primary controls are easy to reach and use, and the driver's seat offers a commanding view outward. The driver's seat also has numerous adjustments that make it a cinch to dial in your preferred position. On the downside, the door armrests are a touch too narrow, and tall drivers might have a hard time seeing the projection of the available head-up display.

Buying Tips for the 2024 Ford Escape for December

Navigating the purchase of a 2024 Ford Escape can be made easier with some key insights to help you score the best deal possible.

Buyers of the 2024 Ford Escape are generally paying less than the MSRP, with an average savings off the sticker price of around 13.8% for most trims.
You could save up to $6,784 for the Plug-In Hybrid trim, offering the best value opportunity among the available trims.
There are no customer cash rebates or special APR offers available at this time for new Ford Escape models.
The nationwide inventory for new Ford Escapes varies by trim, with the ST-Line and Plug-In Hybrid trims having significantly more units available, providing more room for negotiation.
On average, new Ford Escapes spend more than 60 days on dealer lots, but the Platinum trim is selling a bit faster than other trims, offering potential negotiation leverage.
If you're considering a lease, please note that we don't have any leasing payment information available at this time for the 2024 Ford Escape.
For used car shoppers, the lowest displayed dealer price across the model is approximately $18,999.
There's ample used inventory available, with a total of 1,410 used units of the model nationwide.
On average, used Ford Escapes spend about 51 days on dealer lots, aligning closely with the median for used cars and providing more negotiation potential.

Was this information helpful?

In-cabin tech: infotainment & phone integration

8/10

How’s the tech? Ford's touchscreen system is a highlight. Programming the available onboard navigation system is easy. The B&O audio system in our test model produced clear and punchy sound. Unfortunately, we did note some trim rattling with the volume turned up. The Escape's advanced driving aids work well and almost all are standard. Adaptive cruise control avoids the sudden braking exhibited by some competing systems, and the lane centering feature is great on the highway — it doesn't ping-pong the vehicle between lanes as some rival systems do.

Storage: cargo space & space for small items

8/10

How’s the storage? The Escape Plug-In Hybrid's cargo area behind the rear seats is pretty useful. We like the low floor and high seatbacks; it opens up a lot of vertical storage space before luggage impedes your rear visibility. The rear seats don't fold flat, but the outboard seat belts can be disengaged from their seat holsters so there's no obstruction while you're loading cargo. The cargo area will hold up to 60.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, which is less than the Hyundai Tucson PHEV and Toyota RAV4 Prime.

Interior storage is helped out by large cubbies in the front and sizable door pockets in the back. The cupholders have tabs to hold your drinks in place, which is an uncommon feature in this vehicle class. Easily accessible car seat anchors and tethers, plus the large rear seat, will make loading car seats a breeze.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

MPG: gas mileage & fuel economy

8.5/10

How economical is the Escape Plug-In Hybrid? According to the EPA, the Escape Plug-In Hybrid can travel up to 37 miles on electric power alone on a full charge, then achieve 40 mpg in combined city/highway driving using the gas engine. The latter figure is impressive since the PHEV's weight penalty is expected to reduce combined fuel economy by only 1 mpg compared to the front-wheel-drive Escape Hybrid. But we did notice that on our standardized test route that the Escape Plug-In Hybrid traveled 30.7 miles on electric power before the gas engine kicked on, or about 6 miles less than what the EPA estimated. Other plug-in hybrids we've tested have done a better job of meeting or exceeding the EPA's number.

Value: cost, features & warranty

7.5/10

Is the Escape Plug-In Hybrid a good value? The Escape's interior has some nice soft-touch plastics, and hard plastics are generally silver, gloss black or otherwise textured in a way that makes the cabin look nice. The panel gaps are a little inconsistent, the interior door handles feel inexcusably cheap, and the faux wood trim won't fool anyone. We also noticed that the Titanium trim's leather upholstery is rougher and not as premium-feeling as lower trims' synthetic leather. The Escape Plug-In Hybrid also costs quite a bit more than the gas-only and hybrid versions. Warranty coverage is average for the class.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid isn't the most exciting vehicle to drive or look at, but it's quite sensible and will serve you well on an urban commute. Plus, its plug-in hybrid powertrain makes it quicker than the Escape Hybrid and you get a useful 37 miles of estimated EV range on a full charge. A styling update would go a long way in giving the Escape Plug-In Hybrid a more expressive personality.

2024 Ford Escape trim level differences

The 2024 Ford Escape is a compact SUV available in six trim levels: Active, PHEV, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite and Platinum. There are four available powertrains, including a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid, in the lineup.

Which Escape trim does Edmunds recommend?

There's only one trim level offered on the Ford Escape PHEV. In its base form, there are plenty of standard features to satisfy the majority of shoppers. Those seeking a more upscale experience could consider the PHEV Premium package that adds a long list of safety, comfort and technology features.

Surprisingly efficient and functional

Steph, 12/05/2024

2024 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid EVT)

We bought our Escape PHEV in June 24 and by November we already had nearly 20,000 km of trouble free driving. In the summer, we got up to 65 km of electric driving on one charge. At -2C, that range drops to 35 km - a bit disappointing but apparently other PHEV have similar drop. About 75% of our driving is on rural highways. Fuel consumption is in the 5 to 6 liter/100 km at 90-110 km …

Ford Escape vs. Mazda CX-50

The Mazda CX-50 debuted for 2023 and impressed us enough to name it the best of the compact SUV class. It scores points for its potent turbocharged engine, standard all-wheel drive, and sporty handling that make it more fun to drive than rivals. It also benefits from a higher-quality interior, and we appreciate the availability of a light off-road version. The Escape, though, holds an advantage in price, ride comfort and cargo capacity.

Compare Ford Escape & Mazda CX-50 features

Ford Escape vs. Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V was redesigned last year and its many improvements keep it near the top of the class. Like the Escape, it provides plenty of passenger and cargo space, has a comfortable ride, and is available in a fuel-efficient hybrid model. Unfortunately, the Escape's rough transmission shifts and ponderous handling keep it from challenging the CR-V on an even playing field.

Compare Ford Escape & Honda CR-V features

Ford Escape vs. Subaru Forester

The Subaru Forester is a bit of a departure from the typical compact SUV. It's more rugged, with standard all-wheel drive and some surprising off-road abilities, especially in the Wilderness trim. It's a solid choice for those in rainy and snowy regions, but compared to the Escape it falls short in regard to cargo capacity, and its engine is underpowered for the size and weight of the SUV.
