Used Ford Escape Hybrid Prices Falling Faster Than Most Cars

Hybrids have proven to be incredibly popular among new vehicle shoppers as of late, which is precisely why Ford plans to offer one across its entire ICE-focused Blue lineup by 2030. Thus, one could reasonably assume that used hybrids would be equally as popular as new ones, especially given the tremendous surge in sales those partially-electrified Blue Oval models have experienced in recent months. That isn’t exactly the case, however, as used Ford Escape Hybrid prices are falling faster than most over the past year.

According to a new study from iSeeCars, used Ford Escape Hybrid prices declined by $1,749, or 7.1 percent from February 2024 to February 2025, which is the third fastest rate of depreciation of any used hybrid. The Ford Escape Hybrid ranked only behind the BMW 5-Series, which shed $6,613 or 16.2 percent of its value in the past year, as well as the Ford Explorer, which saw its average value drop by $4,218, or 11.7 percent.

The average used vehicle shed a mere $239 of value over this same time period, or 0.8 percent, while hybrids lost a mere $156, or 0.5 percent, making this a very interesting data point, indeed. To come up with this list, iSeeCars analyzed over 1.9 million one-to-five-year-old used vehicles sold in both February 2024 and 2025, and the average listing prices of each car model were then compared between the two time periods. Overall, it seems as if there just wasn’t much movement in pricing, which isn’t great news for used vehicle shoppers, in general.

“The average price of one-to-five-year-old used car has shifted less than $1,000 over the past year,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. “There’s no indication prices will drop from their current levels throughout 2025 and, with tariffs looming, the price of both new and used cars could potentially rise. With the exception of electric vehicles there are no real price breaks to be found in the one- to five-year-old used car market compared to a year ago. If you’re a consumer looking to save money on your next used car you might consider an older, lower-cost model – after a thorough pre-purchase inspection.”
