Used 2024 Ford Escape for Sale nearOshawa, ON

How much does the 2024 Ford Escape cost?

Prices have softened 14.27% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 692 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory for you 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 remains a versatile compact crossover with multiple powertrain choices, a comfortable ride, and impressive technology. At the same time, it is held back by cheap-feeling interior materials, uncompetitive cargo space, and poor value for money, so it suits you best if comfort and tech matter more than cabin quality and practicality.

The market shows 35.5% 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 2024 Escape’s appeal comes from its familiar, carryover design and its broad mix of powertrain choices, comfort, and technology. Its expert assessment also points to a model that remains relevant even as the segment shifts around it.

The performance content highlights a powertrain lineup that includes efficient hybrid and turbocharged options, with the AWD system using a driveline disconnect feature to help improve fuel economy. The cost-effectiveness content also notes that the hybrid makes a good case if efficiency matters to you.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the Escape’s value proposition is weaker than its equipment list, so depreciation and running-cost expectations matter.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The trim lineup ranges from Active to ST-Line, ST-Line Select, Platinum, and ST-Line Elite, with the Plug-in Hybrid also listed. The base trim appears to have been dropped, so you should pay close attention to feature gaps at the lower end and make sure the trim you choose includes the equipment you want.
• Powertrain: You can shop 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 turbo 2.0-litre is quick, but the hybrid is the efficiency play.
• 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, automatic high-beam headlights, and post-collision automatic braking. 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 use an 8-inch display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio, and FordPass Connect services, including a Wi-Fi hotspot. Upper trims get a 12.3-inch display, and the 13.2-inch Sync 4 system adds connected navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid is expected to return 6.0 L/100 km in combined driving. The turbocharged 2.0-litre averages 8.4 L/100 km with AWD and 8.0 L/100 km with FWD, while the turbocharged ST-Line Elite averaged 9.8 L/100 km on the test route.

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 core comfort and technology without moving up the price ladder. It makes the most sense if you want the least expensive path into the lineup and are comfortable with the simpler equipment set.
• ST-Line: This is the best-value trim if you want the hybrid powertrain, because the cost-effectiveness content points to the hybrid as the efficiency-focused choice. It suits you if you want the Escape’s tech-forward personality and better fuel economy without chasing the pricier upper trims.
• ST-Line Select: This trim adds the turbocharged 2.0-litre powertrain and AWD, but the expert assessment says that engine is wasted in this application. You should consider it only if you specifically want the stronger acceleration and extra equipment.
• Platinum: This trim sits higher in the range and is aimed at shoppers who want a more upscale presentation. The expert review still flags the Escape’s value and interior-material shortcomings, so this is more about equipment than a better overall bargain.
• ST-Line Elite: This is the loaded version, and the test vehicle showed how expensive the Escape can get once you add options. It suits you only if you want the fullest tech and appearance package and are willing to pay for it.
• Plug-in Hybrid: This is the efficiency-focused choice if you want electric-only driving range and lots of standard equipment. It is best for you if you can live with FWD and want the most specialised powertrain in the lineup.

Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, 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, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 692 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.27% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $28,183 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 $28,183 CAD sits slightly below last year's $32,872 CAD.

That price drop suggests the Escape is moving into a softer resale environment, which can work against a future seller if you plan to trade in soon. If you buy now, you may benefit from the lower entry price, but you should also expect resale values to remain under pressure if the model continues to age out of the market. The current pricing trend also reflects a vehicle that is no longer at the centre of segment demand.

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 from NHTSA, aside from a four-star rollover resistance rating. The 2023 model earned Good IIHS ratings 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, automatic high-beam headlights, and post-collision automatic braking. 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 expert review also notes that some driver-assistance features can behave inconsistently, especially on lower-speed or more complex roads, so you should test them carefully on your own route.

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:

• 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 14.27% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 carries over the 2023 makeover and adds no major changes.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $26,239 CAD, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $28,183 CAD average.
• It offers an upscale look and a tech-forward approach.

The 2024 is the better pick if you want the latest version of this generation and are comfortable paying a bit more for a newer model year. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the smarter alternative because it delivers much of the same appeal for less.
