Discover Innovation with the 2025 Ford Escape

What does it mean for an SUV to live on the cutting edge of innovation? In the case of the 2025 Ford Escape, it means more than buzzwords. It means a dedication to high-tech enhancements inside and out that make every part of the drive more enjoyable. It means that everything from the engine to the gearshift to the hatch have been re-thought.

A Cutting-Edge Interior

Slide in behind the wheel of the 2025 Escape, and you'll be treated to innovation everywhere. The center touchscreen is powered by Ford's SYNC 4 technology, and offers wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay standard. FordPass Connect offers 4G LTE Wi-Fi capability, becoming the communication hub on every journey. Amazon's Alexa hitches a ride, too, letting you add items to your grocery list from behind the wheel or start your Escape from your kitchen table. But innovation doesn't stop with a swanky touchscreen (measuring up to a whopping available 13.2 inches). The gearshift knob has been replaced with a rotary dial, making room to add extra convenience features like cupholders, USB charging ports, and console storage. The second row slides forward and back, letting drivers choose between extra legroom and enhanced cargo capability. Need more room? Fold the back seat and access up to a staggering 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space.

Innovation Under the Hood

The 2025 Escape is offered with four separate power plants, ranging from conventional internal combustion engines to a highly-efficient 2.5-liter full hybrid and a 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid that can drive for a limited range on no gas whatsoever, yet still offers all the flexibility of being able to power the motor with regular gasoline. The engines use an auto on/off feature that maintains fuel economy even in conventionally-powered Escapes. The all-wheel drive system is plenty smart, too. In fact, the system is smart enough to shut itself off when not needed, maintaining the efficiency of front-wheel drive under most conditions and only engaging AWD when necessary. And of course, four drive modes (Eco, Sport, Normal, and Slippery) offer customizable responses from the drivetrain to match your preferred driving style. From its stylish nose to the available power liftgate that makes loading and unloading a snap, the 2025 Escape is loaded with innovations that put it way ahead of the rest of the pack. Test drive the Escape today at Jim Hudson Ford in Lexington, SC, and escape the ordinary.
