Used 2024 Ford Escape for Sale nearGloucester, ON

How much does the 2024 Ford Escape cost?

Prices have softened 15.27% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 656 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Ford Escape a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Ford Escape earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.17/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Safety at 8/10.

It stands out as one of the original compact crossovers, and it still offers multiple powertrain options, a comfortable ride, and impressive technology. At the same time, it feels like a model nearing the end of its run, with no major changes after the 2023 makeover and a cabin that does not quite match the best in class. The expert verdict also points to a familiar, easygoing character rather than a fresh redesign.

The main trade-offs are that the interior materials feel cheap and the cargo space is uncompetitive.

With 37.7% of listings priced as good or great deals, there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Ford Escape reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2024 Escape is presented as a familiar, carryover model after a substantial 2023 update, which can be reassuring if you want a well-known package rather than a first-year redesign. Its standard safety and driver-assistance equipment is broad, and the available powertrains give you flexibility in how you want to use it.

The turbocharged setup is described as quick, but the overall value case is weaker than some rivals, so long-term ownership risk for used buyers is less about durability than about whether the package still fits your needs and budget.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Ford Escape?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The trim lineup includes Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, Platinum, ST-Line Elite, and Plug-in Hybrid. The Base trim appears to have been dropped, and the lower trims use a simpler 8-inch display, while upper trims get a 12.3-inch display and more upscale equipment. The loaded ST-Line Elite adds leather, premium tech, and a panoramic roof, but the cabin still shows glossy surfaces and stiff upholstery.
• Powertrain: You can find a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder with 180 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque, a 192-horsepower hybrid, or a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The 2.0-litre engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic and AWD on higher trims, but the write-up suggests the hybrid or a lower-tier Escape may make more sense for many buyers.
• Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, with forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high-beam headlights. Higher trims can add adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, predictive speed assist, evasive steering assist, lane-centring assist, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system.
• Infotainment: Lower trims get an 8-inch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L, and FordPass Connect services. Upper trims use a 13.2-inch Sync 4 system, and the larger screen adds connected navigation. The interface is well organised, though the display can look washed out and some controls are embedded in the screen.
• Fuel efficiency: The 1.5-litre turbo is described as the lower-tier choice, while the 2.0-litre turbo is rated at 8.4 L/100 km in combined driving with AWD and 8.0 L/100 km with FWD. The hybrid is expected to return 6.0 L/100 km in combined driving.

Which 2024 Ford Escape trim should I buy?

The 2024 Ford Escape is offered in 6 trim levels: Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, Platinum, ST-Line Elite, and Plug-in Hybrid.

Here's the short version:

• Active: This is the entry point if you want the Escape’s basic formula with the 1.5-litre turbo engine and the simpler 8-inch infotainment setup. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost path into the model and do not need the extra equipment found higher up.
• ST-Line: This is the best-value trim if you want the hybrid powertrain, because the cost-effectiveness discussion points to the hybrid as the smarter long-term choice. It also brings the updated look and more of the tech that makes the Escape feel current.
• ST-Line Select: This trim adds AWD and the 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, but the expert notes suggest that powertrain is not the best value for most shoppers. It suits you if you want the stronger engine and are willing to pay for it.
• Platinum: This trim sits above the mainstream sporty versions and is part of the group that can be equipped with the 2.0-litre turbo. It is for shoppers who want a more upscale presentation, but the value case remains weak.
• ST-Line Elite: This is the loaded version tested here, with the larger digital display, premium tech, leather, and available extras such as the panoramic roof and head-up display. It suits you if you want the most equipment, but it is hard to justify on value.
• Plug-in Hybrid: This is the efficiency-focused choice if you want electric-only driving range and lots of standard equipment. It is the right pick if your priority is lower fuel use rather than AWD or maximum performance.

Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, and higher trims can add more advanced driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Ford Escape?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 37.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 656 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.27% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $28,364 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Ford Escape's resale value?

The current average of $28,731 CAD sits slightly below last year's $33,911 CAD.

That decline suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may face more price pressure if the model continues to age without major updates. Because the 2024 Escape is already described as nearing the end of its run, resale value will likely depend on condition, trim, and equipment more than on novelty.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Ford Escape safe?

The 2024 Escape earns five-star ratings across the board, aside from a four-star rollover resistance rating from NHTSA. It also earned Good ratings from IIHS in 2023 except for a Marginal score in a new side-impact safety test.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, and it includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high-beam headlights. Higher trims can add adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, predictive speed assist, evasive steering assist, lane-centring assist, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system.

The main caveat is that the lane-keeping systems showed inconsistent behaviour on the test drive, and the predictive speed assist could be overly aggressive in curves.

Should I buy a 2024 Ford Escape or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 37.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.27% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the 2023 update’s tech and safety improvements while adding no major changes.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $26,591 CAD, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $28,731 CAD average.
• It offers an upscale design and tech-forward approach.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year pricing context and the same basic package, the 2024 is the cleaner choice. If your priority is saving money and you can live with the older year, the 2023 is the better value play.
