Used 2024 Ford Escape for Sale nearKelowna, BC

How much does the 2024 Ford Escape cost?

Prices have softened 14.11% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 706 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 6.2/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 8/10.

The Escape’s appeal comes from its comfortable ride, impressive technology, and broad powertrain choice, which make it a practical fit if you value versatility and a tech-forward cabin. Its familiar, updated design also keeps it relevant for shoppers who want a compact crossover without chasing the newest shape on the market.

The trade-offs are clear: interior materials feel cheap, cargo space is uncompetitive, and value for money is weak. Even so, the market shows 36.3% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Ford Escape reliable?

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

The Escape’s overall package leans on comfort, technology, and a familiar compact-crossover formula, which can make it an easy vehicle to live with. Its expert assessment also points to a well-equipped, broadly capable model rather than one built around complexity or novelty.

On the performance side, the available turbocharged and hybrid powertrains give you flexibility, and the hybrid’s lower fuel use can help reduce running costs over time. If you choose a used example, the main long-term ownership risk is paying too much for a trim that still feels expensive relative to its cabin quality and practicality.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, Platinum, ST-Line Elite, and Plug-in Hybrid. The lower trims use an 8-inch display, while upper trims get a 12.3-inch display and more upscale equipment, so base and mid-level versions are the ones most likely to feel light on features.
• Powertrain: You can find a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder with 180 horsepower in the Active and ST-Line, or a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque in higher trims. The hybrid is a separate model, and the turbocharged setup can feel quicker than the chassis really needs.
• 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. Higher trims add a 13.2-inch touchscreen and connected navigation, while the system also supports over-the-air-style connected features through Ford’s software ecosystem.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbocharged AWD setup is rated at 8.4 L/100 km in combined driving, while the FWD version is rated at 8.0 L/100 km. The hybrid is rated at 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 most sensible starting point if you want the Escape’s core comfort and technology without paying for the pricier turbocharged trims that the expert review says are hard to justify.
• ST-Line: This is the best-value trim if you want a sportier look and the same basic 1.5-litre turbo setup, while avoiding the cost jump of the higher-output 2.0-litre versions.
• ST-Line Select: Choose this only if you specifically want AWD and more equipment, since it moves into the 2.0-litre turbo territory that the review says is not the best value.
• Platinum: This suits you if you want a more upscale-feeling Escape, but the review’s value concerns make it a harder recommendation unless the equipment is exactly what you want.
• ST-Line Elite: This is the loaded choice, with the larger display and available premium tech, but it is also the trim most affected by the Escape’s weak value proposition.
• Plug-in Hybrid: Pick this if efficiency matters most and you want the electric-driving capability, but only if FWD works for your needs.

Ford’s standard Co-Pilot360 safety suite is included across the lineup, while higher trims add more advanced driver-assistance features.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to compare listings carefully and move quickly on well-priced examples.

• Deal availability: 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 706 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.11% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $28,145 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 $28,145 CAD sits slightly below last year's $32,770 CAD.

That drop suggests the Escape is currently in a softer pricing phase, which can work in your favour if you are buying now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect more competition from similarly priced used examples if the market stays loose.

Because the Escape is already priced below its year-ago average, resale value will depend heavily on trim, condition, and how well the vehicle is equipped. A well-kept example with desirable technology and a strong feature set should be easier to move than a stripped or overpriced one.

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 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.

One caveat is that the lane-keeping systems and predictive speed assist were inconsistent in testing, and the adaptive cruise control and lane-centring systems shut down at one point. The IIHS has not rated the 2024 model, though the previous model year earned Good ratings except for a Marginal result in a side-impact test.

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:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.11% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 keeps the updated design, technology, and safety features from the recent makeover.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $26,178 CAD, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $28,145 CAD average.
• It offers an upscale look and strong tech appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year pricing context and the updated feature set, the 2024 is the cleaner choice. If you are focused on saving money, the 2023 is the better value path, especially if you can find one in good condition with the equipment you want.
