The 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line Select immediately stands out among compact SUVs like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V thanks to its turbocharged EcoBoost 2.0L engine, standard all-wheel drive, and a dynamic ST-Line design. Its combination of sporty performance, advanced technology, and comprehensive certification coverage gives it a clear edge for shoppers prioritizing both confidence in all-weather capability and modern amenities.
This Escape is ideal for buyers who want a practical SUV that excels in real-world scenariosâ"whether that's navigating unpredictable Midwest winters or streamlining daily commutes. The ST-Line Select trim brings heated sport contour bucket seats and a heated steering wheel, making it especially appealing to those who value comfort in colder climates. If your shortlist includes the RAV4 or CR-V, the Escape offers a more engaging driving experience and a suite of features tailored for active families or professionals.
While many rivals rely on naturally aspirated engines, this SUV delivers a spirited drive with its EcoBoost 2.0L I4 GTDi DOHC Turbocharged VCT powerplant paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive and four-wheel independent suspension enable confident traction in rain or snow, giving you peace of mind when the weather turns. The EPA-estimated 23 city and 31 highway MPG also ensures competitive fuel efficiency for its class, balancing power and practicality without compromise.
Active safety is a clear highlight, as the Escape comes standard with electronic stability control, speed-sensing steering, auto high-beam headlights, and front fog lights. While some competitors reserve these advanced systems for higher trims or as add-ons, this SUV makes them accessible right from the ST-Line Select. Such features provide added confidence for families and commuters, especially in low-visibility or challenging road conditions.
Inside, the Escape is equipped with SYNC 4 featuring SiriusXM and FordPass Connect 4G internet access, supporting seamless connectivity and entertainment. Comfort is further enhanced by dual front zone automatic climate control, a telescoping and tilt steering wheel, and a rear seat center armrest. Practical touches such as a power liftgate and remote keyless entry make daily errands and road trips remarkably convenient.
Against crossovers like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, the Escape distinguishes itself with its turbocharged performance, driver-focused amenities, and robust warranty coverage. Where competitors may require costly upgrades for similar features, this SUV delivers them as standard. The Ford Blue Certified program adds an additional layer of trust and value, reinforcing the Escape as a smart, high-value pick for those seeking reliability and long-term peace of mind.
Why choose the Escape over its rivals? It provides a turbocharged engine and standard all-wheel drive not always found at this price point. What does it offer that others donât? Features like heated sport seats, SYNC 4 connectivity, and Ford Blue Certified benefits set it apart. Which SUV in this segment offers the best overall value? The Escapeâs transferable 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and comprehensive certification give it an advantage. What advantages does it have over the RAV4 or CR-V?

3.8out of 5 overall- 5.0
Great performance highway/city/winters
by Ed S on 8/25/2026 4:16:53 PM
Got the '21 SEL Hybrid used, and it's felt like a steal. I was moving from the south to the northern midwest, and needed a car that could hold family of 4+gear, had good mileage, good handling and driving all seasons, and really preferred some creature comforts. 3 months after purchase, I had to take it on the big test of 3k+ mile trip into the Dakotas, ending in a winter storm the last 250 miles. It handled everything wonderfully, and in comfort. MPG dropped to the low-mid 30's when I was doing pure highway, jumped up to low 40's with combo city/highway. No idea what people are complaining about on engine straining/noise, this thing has handled everything from driving 80 along the highways to climbing a steep grade hill during a blizzard. No issues at all, the AWD is a great need for my winters, and it's more modern features work well. My assumption is those complaining of engine noise/issues have had poor maintenance. I've kept up with mine very diligently, and have nice tires in place to help with winters here. The interesting positive is my year/model came with a map nav and sync as standard. So it has mapping/updating/etc all built in. But I never use it as I still prefer my phone Android Auto setup. Biggest complaint is it feels like there's just not quite enough space in the back, even when dropping the seats. You can fit luggage/hardware/gear in there, but you'll need to be creative. I ended up getting the roof rack as a fall-back for bigger things. - 5.0
Excellent fuel economy and handling!

Great SUV

Bought my car brand new February 2023. It’s a 2022 model sports package. Love the way it handles. rarely uses gas as I do mostly in town errands. Smaller than my previous Non plug-in Ford Escape, but actually like it that way. Backseat does fold down and plenty of rear cargo room.
