Ranked by delivered price, before taxsource riskwarranty / history signalslocal availabilityupdated 5 minutes ago

The Ford Escape is a compact crossover offered with gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Factory configurations emphasize commuting efficiency and a flexible cargo hold, positioning it toward small families and daily drivers. Known trade-offs include interior materials and cabin noise that trail some rivals in the segment, and cargo volume that runs tighter than larger crossovers.

Why cross-state matters here

The local market isn’t giving you a fair shot.

3 local units match the Active’s build. The cheapest runs $21,998 before tax against the pick’s $19,283 delivered before tax. Zero beat our pick.
