2024 Ford Escape ST-Line
- Used
Notes from the dealer
Parents seeking a family SUV for school runs, errands, and weekend adventures will appreciate the Escapeâs blend of comfort and practicality. Rear seats offer room for growing kids and easy access for loading and unloading, while the split folding design lets you quickly expand storage for bulkier items. In climates like Sw Mt Vernon, IA, the available all-wheel drive brings added peace of mind during winter weather or unplanned trips. The Escapeâs tech-focused features, such as Connected Navigation and Adaptive Cruise, help keep busy parents organized and reduce stress on longer journeys.
A 1.5L EcoBoost engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth, responsive power whether merging onto highways or navigating city streets. The Escapeâs AWD system enhances traction in rain or snow, making it a reliable companion for family road trips and everyday commutes. The vehicleâs suspension is tuned for comfort, minimizing bumps and road noise, which is especially valuable when traveling with kids. EPA-estimated 26 mpg city and 32 mpg highway fuel economy means fewer stops at the pump, letting you focus on family time instead of fill-ups.
Safety is at the core of this SUV, protecting what matters most. Standard Blind Spot Monitoring and Lane Keep Assist actively help prevent lane-change and drift incidents, while Adaptive Cruise with Stop-and-Go reduces fatigue in traffic. The Rear Camera and Rear Parking Sensor support safe reversing and tight parking, especially in busy school lots. Dual front, side, and overhead airbags, along with a knee airbag, offer comprehensive coverage for all occupants. The LATCH system ensures secure installation of child safety seats, giving parents added peace of mind every trip.
Family convenience is elevated by features like a heated steering wheel and heated seats, which make cold mornings more comfortable. Dual zone climate control allows both driver and passenger to set preferred temperatures, while a power liftgate simplifies grocery or stroller loading. The Tech Pack #1 and Cold Weather Package integrate advanced technology and seasonal comfort. Entertainment needs are handled with a 12-speaker SiriusXM audio system and SYNC 4 911 Assist emergency communication, ensuring connectivity, entertainment, and safety are always within reach.
Comparing the Escape to the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, this SUV stands out with its balance of tech features, AWD capability, and sporty ST-Line styling. While all three offer strong reputations for reliability, the Escapeâs heated seats and advanced adaptive cruise system provide additional comfort and driver-assist advantages for families. The Escapeâs non-smoker history and modern interior create a fresher, more inviting atmosphere, especially for families sensitive to air quality.
How easy is it to install a car seat? The Escapeâs wide rear doors, LATCH points, and split folding seat make car seat installation straightforward. Is this SUV safe for new drivers in the family? With Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and a comprehensive airbag suite, the Escape offers strong protection and confidence for less-experienced drivers.

Great performance highway/city/winters

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

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.
