A used Ford Escape offers the everyday versatility of a compact SUV in a size that remains easy to drive around Plymouth. At Nucar Ford of Plymouth, shoppers searching for a used Ford Escape for sale in Plymouth can compare individual vehicles by model year, trim, powertrain, drivetrain, mileage, equipment, history, and condition.
The Escape provides seating for five and a flexible cargo area that works well for commutes, grocery stops along Tenney Mountain Highway, and busy days that call for more room than a sedan. Gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, front-wheel-drive, and all-wheel-drive configurations were offered during different parts of the model’s production run.
The 2026 Escape was the final model year, and production concluded in December 2025.¹ ² That makes the used market an important place to find this familiar Ford SUV. Specifications and features vary by year and configuration, so compare the details attached to each individual vehicle.
The Escape fits shoppers who want useful passenger and cargo space without moving into a larger SUV. Its compact footprint is convenient for daily errands, while the rear seating and cargo flexibility can accommodate backpacks, sports equipment, shopping bags, or gear for an afternoon at Fox Pond Park.
Depending on the model year and configuration, a pre-owned Ford Escape may offer:
Exact equipment can differ even between Escapes wearing the same trim badge. Review the individual listing and available vehicle documentation to confirm the features that matter to you.
Recent Ford Escape model years fall into four useful shopping groups. Each offers a different balance of design, technology, powertrain choice, and price.
Choose a 2023–2026 Escape when refreshed styling, the ST-Line appearance, or newer infotainment is a priority. The 2023 update introduced the ST-Line family, SYNC 4, and an available 13.2-inch center touchscreen.³
Trim names from this period may include Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, Platinum, and Plug-in Hybrid. Available powertrains included EcoBoost gas engines, conventional hybrids, and a plug-in hybrid, depending on the year and trim.
These later models can appeal to drivers who place a higher priority on current-looking cabin technology, updated exterior styling, and a broader range of electrified choices.
Look at a 2020–2022 Escape for the fourth-generation cabin, sliding second row, and returning hybrid option. The redesigned 2020 model offered gas and hybrid powertrains, increased interior flexibility, and available Ford Co-Pilot360 technology.⁴
Common trims include S, SE, SEL, and Titanium, with additional hybrid designations appearing in parts of the lineup. Equipment and powertrain availability changed during these years, making the model year and window sticker just as important as the trim name.
The adjustable rear seating can be especially useful when a day trip to Quincy Bog calls for more cargo room on the way out and more passenger space on the way home.
Consider a 2017–2019 Escape when you want the later styling and technology of the third generation. Available SYNC 3 systems added support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while selected trims offered features such as a hands-free power liftgate, heated seating, and upgraded driver-assistance technology.⁵
Common trim names include S, SE, SEL, and Titanium, although the lineup and included equipment changed by year. Confirm the engine, drivetrain, infotainment system, and installed options on the individual vehicle.
The 2013 model year introduced the Escape’s third generation with a more car-like crossover shape, multiple gas-engine choices, and available all-wheel drive.⁴ These earlier examples may suit shoppers who value straightforward compact-SUV utility and are comfortable with an older technology package.
Condition, maintenance history, mileage, and equipment become particularly important when comparing vehicles from this period. A well-documented individual Escape may be a better fit than a newer example that does not match your needs or budget.
Escape trim names and equipment changed several times, so it is more useful to compare the role of each configuration than to assume a trim name means the same thing every year.
Gas-powered Escapes were offered with several naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines across the model’s production run. Later EcoBoost configurations can include a smaller engine focused on everyday efficiency or a more powerful available engine paired with higher trims.
Engine output, transmission, towing ability, and fuel economy vary by year and configuration. Use the individual vehicle record and owner documentation when an exact specification affects your decision.
Front-wheel drive can suit shoppers focused on everyday commuting and value. Available all-wheel drive may appeal to drivers whose routines include winter travel or secondary roads, such as the drive over Route 175 from Holderness.
AWD was not standard or available on every Escape powertrain. Confirm the drivetrain shown for the specific vehicle rather than relying on its trim or exterior appearance.
A conventional Escape Hybrid combines gasoline and electric power without requiring external charging. An Escape Plug-in Hybrid uses a larger battery that can be charged from an outside power source and may provide a measure of electric-only driving.
Drivers whose weeks include shorter trips around town and longer runs along Route 49 toward Waterville Valley may want to compare how the gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid configurations fit their routines.
For a plug-in hybrid, confirm that the expected charging cord and accessories are included. Exact electric range, fuel economy, battery coverage, and charging details depend on the model year and individual vehicle.
SE and SEL models often add convenience or comfort equipment over entry-level versions. Titanium and Platinum generally represent more premium positions in their respective lineups. The ST-Line family, introduced for 2023, adds sport-inspired appearance details, with Select and Elite versions offering additional equipment and powertrain choices.
Because Ford reused or replaced trim names over time, compare the actual features rather than choosing by badge alone.
The right used Escape is the one that matches your driving, budget, and feature priorities. Focus on these six areas when comparing individual vehicles:
Cargo needs are worth testing in person. Bring measurements or think through the items you regularly carry, from weekly groceries to home-project supplies from Rand’s Hardware.
A thorough test drive should also cover seat comfort, outward visibility, climate controls, infotainment operation, braking, steering, and any equipped driver-assistance features.
The price of a used Ford Escape depends on the individual vehicle’s model year, mileage, trim, powertrain, drivetrain, equipment, history, and condition. Review the displayed price and vehicle details for each Escape you are considering.

Yes. The 2026 Escape was the final model year, and production ended in December 2025.¹ ² Used Escapes remain available in several generations, with gas, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, FWD, and AWD configurations represented across different model years.
A used Escape combines seating for five, flexible cargo space, compact exterior dimensions, and a variety of available powertrains. It can fit shoppers who need more versatility than a sedan but do not want the size of a larger SUV.
The 2023–2026 models feature the refreshed exterior, ST-Line choices, SYNC 4, and an available 13.2-inch display.³ The 2020–2022 models introduced the fourth-generation cabin, sliding second row, and renewed hybrid option.⁴ The 2017–2019 models represent the updated later years of the third generation, with available SYNC 3 smartphone integration.⁵
Used Ford Escape prices vary by year, mileage, trim, powertrain, drivetrain, equipment, vehicle history, and condition. Review the price attached to the individual vehicle and contact Nucar Ford of Plymouth with questions about financing, trade value, or purchase details.
All-wheel drive was offered on many gas and hybrid Escape configurations, but it was not included with every year, trim, or powertrain. Check the individual vehicle details to confirm whether an Escape is FWD or AWD.
Hybrid power returned with the redesigned 2020 Escape and continued through the final generation.⁴ Plug-in hybrid versions were also offered during the fourth generation. Exact availability and specifications depend on the year and trim.
An Escape Hybrid does not need to be plugged in. Its gasoline engine, electric motor, battery, and regenerative braking system work together automatically. An Escape Plug-in Hybrid has a larger battery that can be charged externally and may support electric-only driving for part of a trip.
Ask to review the available vehicle-history information for the specific Escape you are considering. Use it together with the vehicle’s current condition, maintenance documentation when available, warranty disclosure, recall status, and test drive.
Warranty coverage varies by vehicle. A used Escape may have remaining factory coverage, separate coverage, or may be offered as-is. Review the FTC Buyers Guide and purchase documents for the individual vehicle rather than assuming every used Escape includes the same protection.
