The Ford Escape is a powerful compact crossover SUV great for long trips and quick getaways. At Fahrney Ford, we’re happy to offer several of the 2025 Ford Escape’s great trims, including the base Active trim and premium trims like the Platinum and ST-Line Elite trims. No matter which trim you decide to purchase, each has its own unique advantages that give it an edge over other cars in its category.
The 2025 Ford Escape’s Trims
The Ford Escape is a vehicle known for its many trims and the 2025 model doesn’t disappoint. It comes with six trims, including the hybrid version. Starting from the base trim, each trim usually adds upon what the previous built to make your driving experience even better.
The 2025 Ford Escape Active
The 2025 Ford Escape’s base trim is called the Active trim. Its MSRP is $27,995, it can fit a total of five passengers comfortably and comes with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility so you don’t have to waste any time connecting your favorite music and podcasts. The 2025 Ford Escape Active also comes with a rotary gear shifter so you can enjoy an extra cupholder upfront and get rid of the clunky stick.
The Active trim is the best trim for a driver who wants to experience the new 2025 Ford Escape at the most affordable price point possible. It comes with a ton of great features that you’ll find in other trims too.
The 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line
The next trim in the Ford Escape family is the ST-Line. Starting at $28,990, less than $1,000 more than its previous trim, the ST-Line adds a stylish flat-bottom steering wheel for added room in the driver’s seat, adjustable second-row seating, and classy 18-inch aluminum wheels.
The ST-Line comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™ and an optional Cold Weather Package and Technology package. It also comes with all the features listed above in the Active package.
The 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line Select
The 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line Select is an upgrade on the ST-Line. It has an MSRP of $32,230 and comes with everything listed above, and more. Ford adds LED reflector headlamps to their ST-Line and throws in heated front seats for added comfort. Front seats also feature 10-way support so you can recline and relax while you drive.
The ST-Line Select also comes with an optional B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with 10 speakers, including a subwoofer. It’s also an all-wheel drive, perfect for the city driver who doesn’t mind getting out of town every once in a while.
The 2025 Ford Escape Platinum
The 2025 Ford Escape Platinum is a premium trim for the Escape. It comes with everything we listed above plus a lot of standout features that give the Platinum its own identity from the other trims. One of the biggest upgrades to the Platinum trim is the huge 13.2-inch touchscreen that can help you navigate, play music, or give you information on your vehicle.
The Platinum trim also gives you the ability to use adaptive cruise control, letting the car drive itself through sensors and cameras. Finally, the Platinum features a 2.0L EcoBoost Engine with Auto Start-Stop so you’re always getting the most out of your car.
The 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line Elite
The 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line Elite is the premium edition of the ST trims. It reintroduces the ST-Line badging on the Escape that the Platinum trim left behind. It also comes with unique rear skid plates, a body-color large single-wing rear spoiler, and a 12.3″ full digital instrument cluster. For technology, Ford has thrown in an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a heated steering wheel with gorgeous red stitching, and 10-way power front seats.
Ford included a lot of great features in the infotainment system as well, including Fordpass® Connect with 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot, Siriusxm® with 360L, and the same wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto Compatibility that comes in every Ford Escape trim. For the outside of the vehicle, the ST-Line Elite has a Black Mesh Upper/lower Grille, Black Upper Window Molding with Black Beltline Molding, Body Color Door Handles, and more.
The 2025 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid
The 2025 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is the perfect car for someone who wants to add efficiency in spades to their Ford Escape experience. It starts at $38,400 MSRP and comes with all of the great features that the Platinum and ST-Line Elite trims offer, including adaptive cruise control SYNC 4 with a 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen, and more.
The biggest difference the 2025 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid brings to the table is the 2.5L I4 Engine. It has 210 total horsepower between both the engine and the battery, giving you great acceleration without sacrificing any of the range. If you’re on the go, you can always charge the Plug-In Hybrid Trim using a standard 120V outlet with the included level 1 power cord. It can also run as a hybrid on normal gas if you don’t have time to plug it in.
For its exterior, the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid offers Chrome Upper Window Molding with Chrome Beltline Molding, Configurable Daytime Running Lamps (DRL), LED Fog Lamps, LED Signature Lighting, a Piano Black Grille with Chrome Strip, Neutral Towing Capability, a Pedestrian Alert Sounder, and an Electronic Fuel Door Release so you can refuel easily.
