While the 360-degree camera is included in some of the aforementioned packages, buyers interested in the 2025 Ford Escape should note that it’s no longer a standard option on ST-Line Elite or Platinum trims. The Cold Weather Package was formerly a standard inclusion on all all-wheel-drive (AWD) models, but is now an optional extra across the board.
The standard power liftgate is also a thing of the past, at least for Active and ST-Line trims, but it remains standard fare on ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and PHEV. Ambient lighting is also gone, as are the body color moldings on ST-Line series trims, and their aluminum pedals. Meanwhile, the Premium packages now feature ActiveX seating surfaces as part of their bundles.
The 2025 Ford Escape is actually more affordable than its 2024 model year counterpart – the base Active trim starts at $27,995, which is $1,500 less than the 2024 model of the same trim. On the other end of the spectrum, the priciest trim remains the PHEV, which is now $38,400, down $2,100 from the 2024 model year.
Production of the 2025 Ford Escape, which is handled at the at the Louisville Assembly plant in Kentucky, started on September 19th, 2024.
Comments
Cold Weather Package should be standard.
Such a decontented joke compared to the 2023. Not sure why anyone would buy this.
build the sedans in awd crown vic and lincoln older floks still like them
I’m sorry, but the content of this article and the 10K teasers before it contradicts the package content info when you actually try and build one. This is the MOST convoluted vehicle on the market. WAY too many trim levels and content deletions, individual options to add back in some of the deletions, and packages. Why would ANYONE want to figure out this total mess? Guess it’s Jimbo’s way of justifying its cancellation and more proof that the execs in Dearborn are high on some strange stuff. Bet dealers are totally clueless and giving bad info as well. Here come the lawsuits and they will be justified.
