2025 Ford Escape for Sale in Denison, IA

A pioneering utility vehicle, the Ford Escape was among the nameplates to help popularize the compact crossover segment. Today, it remains a compelling option in the industry's most competitive class. With its attractive accommodations, ample cargo capacity, and lots of great amenities, it's an appealing option for shoppers seeking comfort and practicality with city-friendly maneuverability. Des Moines-area drivers can buy or lease a new Ford Escape through Team Ford in Denison.

Performance

The Ford Escape offers a diverse powertrain roster with options to suit various needs and preferences.  Base, Active, and ST-Line trims are propelled by a 1.5-liter EcoBoost® turbo-three with 181 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is available across the lineup.

ST-Line Select, ST-Line Elite, and Platinum utilize a 2.0-liter EcoBoost® turbo-four, increasing output to 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. If you're seeking more efficiency for your Des Moines commute, a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain (192 horsepower) is optional for ST-Line and Platinum models, boasting an EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined.1

Ford Escape PHEV

Offered as a standalone trim level, the Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a more powerful electric motor to produce 210 horsepower. A 14.4-kWh battery helps achieve an EPA-estimated 105 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent). It also provides an estimated 37 miles of electric-only range, letting you experience EV driving without worrying about range anxiety.1 Charging takes about ~3.5 hours with Level 2 (240V) equipment. However, you don't necessarily need to install special equipment, as the Escape PHEV can replenish its battery overnight (~10.5 hours) using a standard 120-volt household-style outlet.

Interior and Versatility

The Ford Escape's cabin is open and inviting, with modern design details, ample headroom and legroom, and seats that provide long-distance comfort. The sliding second row provides extra practicality, allowing you to expand rear-passenger legroom or increase cargo capacity from 33.5 to 37.5 cubic feet. If you need even more storage for your Sioux City outings, the rear seats fold quickly to reveal 65.4 cubic feet.

The Ford Escape offers many comforts and conveniences, including standard features like dual-zone automatic climate control, a power liftgate, keyless entry, and a power driver's seat. Depending on the trim or package, you can further enhance your Denison drives with amenities like:

  • Heated seats
  • Heated steering wheel

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work wirelessly, enabling clutter-free access to smartphone features like hands-free calls and messages, music, streaming media, Google or Apple Maps, and your virtual assistant. An 8-inch digital instrument display makes it easier to monitor important driving information while keeping your eyes on the road. Even more screen real estate is available for Active and ST-Line Select models and standard in higher tiers, including a 13.2-inch infotainment display and a 12.3-inch instrument panel customizable to your viewing preferences.

Staying alert behind the wheel is always the most important aspect of vehicle safety. Still, it's nice to know you have back-up in the event of the unexpected. The 2025 Escape comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver aids like:

  • Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
