Why choose the 2025 Ford Escape hybrid powertrain?
While the 2025 Ford Escape offers four engine options, the optional hybrid is the best choice for drivers who want both incredible fuel economy and maximum convenience. With it, your Escape earns EPA Ratings of 39 mpg combined (42 city/36 highway). And although these figures can’t quite match the Escape PHEV’s gas mileage (up to 101 MPGe!), the Escape’s classic hybrid powertrain never needs to be recharged. That makes it the more convenient choice! You’ll also love that the Escape’s hybrid components are built to last, with special warranty coverage that lasts eight years or 100,000 miles — whichever comes first!
The 2025 Ford Escape’s optional hybrid powertrain includes:
- 2.5L hybrid powertrain (192 hp, 155 lb-ft of torque)
- Continuously variable transmission
- Front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive
Which 2025 Ford Escape models are available with the hybrid powertrain?
Of the Escape’s six trim models, four will be available with the optional hybrid powertrain: the sporty ST-Line, increasingly comfortable ST-Line Select, upscale ST-Line Elite, and posh Platinum. The ST-Line models deliver sporty upgrades, including trail-friendly skid plates and eye-catching style. The Platinum is a luxury trim with an incredible list of comfort and convenience upgrades, but it doesn’t include the ST-Line’s skid plates or exclusive styling.
Is the 2025 Ford Escape hybrid comfortable?
Not only is this compact crossover a roomy, supportive option, but it also treats you to a handsomely equipped cabin! And since you can choose from four Escape trim models, you can also balance your budget with your sense of style. Moving up the list of trim models means a higher MSRP, but it also means a longer list of luxury features!
ST-Line
In addition to the Escape’s impressive list of standard features (including SYNC 4 infotainment, a power liftgate, and dual-zone automatic climate control), the ST-Line adds special styling. Outside, that means unique black trim. Inside, it means a sporty, flat-bottom steering wheel and red accent stitching. The ST-Line’s underbody skid plates help protect your Escape on the trail, and standard roof rails help you haul large cargo items.
ST-Line Select
This Escape adds to the ST-Line features with greater interior luxury and everyday utility. For instance, its heated front seats and a heated steering wheel offer a cozy wintertime cruise. Outside, LED fog lights and heated mirrors enhance visibility during inclement weather. And with standard all-wheel drive, the ST-Line Select is as eager as you are to hit the trail!
ST-Line Elite
As the most luxurious ST-Line trim, the Elite adds to the aforementioned features with enhanced technology and comfort features. These include built-in navigation, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and driver’s seat memory settings. Outside, its LED signature lighting gives your Escape a little extra style. Plus, the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package is standard, enhancing your safety with extra driver safety aids, including a surround-view camera and Evasive Steering Assist.
Platinum
The Platinum is as luxurious as the ST-Line Elite, though it doesn’t include the special ST-Line styling or trail-friendly underbody skid plates. But the Platinum does add to the ST-Line Elite’s comfort and tech upgrades with ActiveX-trimmed seats. And it also includes sporty roof-rack side rails and rain-sensing windshield wipers!
