00:00Grazy for returning to driven dreams.
00:03Today, we're turning the spotlight on a small SUV that has quietly dominated its class for over two decades.
00:09The Ford Escape, loved by families, daily commuters, and weekend explorers alike.
00:15The Escape has been a reliable companion for those who value comfort, agility, and versatility all wrapped into one compact SUV.
00:24But there's big news on the horizon.
00:25According to recent reports, the Ford Escape's long journey might be coming to an end in 2025.
00:32That's right.
00:33The iconic Escape, a staple of Ford's lineup since the early 2000s, is expected to be phased out, making way for a brand new, electrified successor in 2026.
00:45A vehicle that could redefine how we see compact SUVs, but at a price that's rumored to be $15,000 more than the outgoing model.
00:53So today, we're taking a deep look at the final evolution of the Ford Escape in 2025, what made a fan favorite, and what's next for Ford's small SUV future in 2026.
01:05The 2025 Ford Escape isn't going out quietly.
01:09It's going out in style.
01:11Ford has given the Escape a refreshed design that leans into modernity with sharper lines, a wider stance, and a more assertive front fascia.
01:19Its broad front grille, flanked by new LED headlamps, gives it a bolder look while still feeling approachable and familiar.
01:28The grille now carries a strong resemblance to Ford's EV lineup, hinting at the brand's future design direction.
01:35Moving along the sides, you'll notice subtle curves and sleek character lines that give the Escape a muscular yet refined silhouette.
01:43The wheel arches are slightly flared, making room for sporty 17 to 19-inch alloy wheels, depending on trim.
01:52And a round back, a set of streamlined LED taillights, and a modest spoiler help the Escape close the show with elegance.
02:00It's a design that balances utility with emotion.
02:03Not too aggressive, not too soft.
02:06Just right for a compact SUV aimed at everyone from young professionals to active parents.
02:12Inside the 2025 Escape, it's all about comfort meets technology.
02:18The cabin is thoughtfully laid out with soft-touch materials, contrasting stitching, and a clean dashboard design that draws inspiration from Ford's more premium models.
02:28Front and center is an available 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen.
02:33Intuitive, responsive, and fully compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
02:39The system supports over-the-air updates, voice control, navigation, and even Amazon Alexa integration.
02:47Just below that, a digital climate control panel makes it easy to adjust temperature and airflow on the go.
02:53Higher trims include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster that displays everything from speed and range to navigation directions and safety alerts.
03:04Throw in a wireless charging pad, multiple USB ports, and available bang in a Lufson Premium Audio.
03:12And you've got a cockpit that's as smart as it is serene.
03:15Rear seat space is impressive for a small SUV, offering generous legroom and headroom, even for taller passengers.
03:23Fold down the 60-40 split rear seats, and you'll unlock up to 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space.
03:31Enough for bikes, strollers, or your next road trip haul.
03:35What truly sets the 2025 Escape apart is its variety of powertrain options.
03:40Something that's becoming rarer in today's one-size-fits-all EV world.
03:44At the base, you've got a 1.5-liter EcoBoost 3-cylinder engine with 180 horsepower.
03:51Ideal for city drivers who prioritize fuel economy and daily commuting.
03:55Step up to the 2.0-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder, and you're looking at a more spirited 250 horsepower,
04:02making it perfect for drivers who crave a bit more speed, better towing, and long-haul comfort.
04:08But it doesn't stop there.
04:10The Escape hybrid returns for 2025 with a clever combination of a 2.5-liter Atkinson cycle 4-cylinder engine
04:17and an electric motor, offering a seamless hybrid driving experience.
04:22With nearly 200 horsepower and fuel economy ratings pushing 40 mpg,
04:28it's one of the most efficient options in its class.
04:31And for the eco-conscious or urban drivers,
04:34the Escape plug-in hybrid, P-GV, delivers an electric-only range of about 37 miles,
04:41enough to cover most daily errands and short commutes without using a drop of fuel.
04:46Ford has been positioning the Escape as a bridge to electrification,
04:49offering both traditional engines and electric-assisted options.
04:54And while it hasn't gone fully electric like some rivals,
04:57the Escape hybrid and P-GV have played a critical role in transitioning Ford customers toward a cleaner future.
05:04But that bridge might be ending.
05:06Recent reports suggest that Ford will discontinue the Escape after the 2025 model year.
05:12Why? To make way for a brand new, fully electrified, compact crossover
05:17that aligns with Ford's model e-electric division.
05:20While that might sound exciting, there's a catch.
05:23This upcoming electric replacement could cost upwards of $15,000 more than the current Escape.
05:29That would place it closer to the $50,000 range,
05:33potentially pricing out many loyal Escape buyers,
05:36especially families and first-time SUV owners who have long relied on the Escape's affordability and reliability.
05:43On the safety front, the 2025 Escape is packed with Ford Co. Pilot 360, which includes
05:50Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
05:54Lane Keeping System
05:55Blind Spot Information System
05:57BLIS
05:58Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
06:01Evasive Steering Assist
06:03New for 2025 is an upgraded Active Park Assist 2.0,
06:08allowing the Escape to parallel park itself with just the push of a button.
06:13A head-up display and 360-degree camera system are also available on top trims,
06:19helping take the stress out of urban navigation.
06:22These aren't just features.
06:23Their reassurance is that the Escape has your back on every journey.
06:28Ford continues to offer the Escape in multiple trims for 2025.
06:32Base Active
06:34Affordable, well-equipped entry model
06:37ST-Line
06:38Sporty blacked-out trim with tuned suspension
06:41ST-Line Select and Elite
06:43More tech
06:44Larger screens
06:46Optional AWD
06:47Platinum
06:48Premium features and luxury touches
06:50Escape Hybrid and P-GV
06:53Efficient alternatives in multiple trims
06:56Prices range from around $29,000 for the base model to over $45,000 for the plug-in hybrid in fully loaded form.
07:04But again, the rumored EV replacement in 2026 could see starting prices closer to $50,000 plus a significant leap.
07:14The 2025 Ford Escape might just be the final chapter in a story that started over 20 years ago, a compact SUV that helped redefine how Americans drive, commute, and explore.
07:26It's not flashy. It's not loud. But it's been dependable, affordable, and adaptable. Evolving with the times while keeping its roots firmly in what matters. Practicality, comfort, and choice.
07:39As we look forward to an electrified future, it's worth taking a moment to appreciate what the Escape has been.
07:47A true utility hero for the people.
07:50If you're in the market for a versatile, well-rounded, and stylish compact SUV, 2025 might be your last chance to own one of the best values Ford has ever built.
08:00So, is this goodbye, or just a new beginning?
08:03Time will tell.
08:04But for now, the 2025 Ford Escape is ready to roll out one last time.
