Whether you want to get out of the big city to spend some time in the great outdoors or you’re planning a vacation road trip, the best small SUV for your adventurous travels is the 2025 Ford Escape. Learn why this five-passenger SUV is the right choice for your next vehicle upgrade today.
The base Ford Escape is the Active trim, which is equipped with a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine designed to maximize fuel efficiency. The engine comes with automatic start-stop technology, which shuts off the engine automatically when the vehicle is idling to avoid burning fuel in bumper-to-bumper traffic and similar driving conditions.
To support this eco-friendly powertrain, the Active model comes with a front-wheel drivetrain and an eight-speed automatic transmission. If you anticipate driving in challenging winter conditions, you can opt for an engine block heater accessory when you custom order your Escape to protect your motor from cold starts. For drivers who plan off-road adventures, it may be a good idea to upgrade to the AWD drivetrain.
Exterior Features
The Escape has LED reflector headlights with LED signature lighting and automatic high beams that emphasize the sporty design of the SUV. The dual Chrome exhaust tips improve airflow from the engine and add a stylish flare to the Escape. The Active trim has configurable daytime running lights to improve road visibility in low-light conditions, such as when the weather is overcast.
Interior Features
This model has a fully digital eight-inch cluster on the dashboard with an integrated message center so you can view key vehicle information in an instant. The instrument panel has Ice Blue lighting so you can see control buttons in dim lighting. There are also convenient steering wheel-mounted controls for the audio system and cruise control.
As for entertainment, this model has an eight-inch SYNC 4 multimedia touchscreen to manage smartphone-linked apps and satellite radio. The multimedia system is compatible with wireless connectivity to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This model comes with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot via FordPass Connect so you can stream your favorite media seamlessly.
Safety Features
The Escape Active comes with a standard SOS Post-Crash Alert System, which can summon emergency assistance to your location after you’ve been in an accident. Along with a LATCH system for easy child car seat installation, this model comes with dual-stage front seat airbags, a Belt-Minder for the first and second-row seats, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System that tracks the air pressure in all four tires.
The Escape Active covers all of your convenience and safety basics, and even includes intuitive infotainment features to make your driving experience more enjoyable. Get in touch with Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD to learn how to upgrade your new Escape with advanced tech features.
