Used 2024 Ford Escape for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2024 Ford Escape cost?

Prices have softened 15.59% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 665 listings available, which suggests you should have some room to compare prices and equipment.

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.

You get multiple powertrain options, a comfortable ride, and impressive technology, which makes the Escape appealing if you want a well-equipped compact crossover with an easygoing character. The trade-offs are clear: interior materials feel cheap, cargo space is uncompetitive, and value for money is weak. The 2024 model also carries over without major changes after the 2023 update, so it feels familiar rather than fresh.

With 37.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is at least some market opportunity if you shop carefully.

Is the 2024 Ford Escape reliable?

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

The 2024 Escape is described as a familiar, carryover model after a substantial 2023 makeover, which can be reassuring if you prefer a proven setup over a first-year redesign. Its available powertrains and standard driver-assistance content also point to a well-developed package rather than an untested one.

The turbocharged drivetrain is presented as capable and the AWD system includes a driveline disconnect feature to help improve fuel economy. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the Escape’s value proposition is weak, so depreciation may matter more than mechanical novelty.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from Active to ST-Line, ST-Line Select, Platinum, ST-Line Elite, and Plug-in Hybrid. The base trim appears to be dropped, and lower trims miss some of the richer tech and appearance upgrades found higher up.
• Powertrain: You can find a 1.5-litre turbocharged three-cylinder with 180 horsepower, a 192-horsepower hybrid, or a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 250 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The turbo 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.
• Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard and 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.
• Infotainment: Lower trims use an 8-inch display, while upper trims get a 12.3-inch digital display and a 13.2-inch Sync 4 touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included on lower trims, and the larger screen adds connected navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid is rated as low as 6.0 L/100 km in combined driving, while the turbocharged AWD model is rated at 8.4 L/100 km and the FWD version at 8.0 L/100 km.

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, technology, and standard safety content without paying for the more expensive appearance and equipment upgrades.
• ST-Line: This is the best-value trim if you want the hybrid powertrain, because it unlocks the efficiency-focused setup while keeping the Escape’s modern tech and safety features.
• ST-Line Select: This trim adds AWD in Canada and moves you into the stronger turbocharged 2.0-litre setup, but the content suggests the extra power is not the best value for most shoppers.
• Platinum: Choose this only if you want a more upscale presentation and are willing to pay for it, since the broader value case is not strong.
• ST-Line Elite: This is the loaded choice with the larger display, premium audio, and available premium tech package content, but it is hard to justify on value alone.
• Plug-in Hybrid: Pick this if you want the electric-only driving range and lots of standard equipment, especially if your driving pattern suits a plug-in model.

Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, and higher trims 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.

• Deal availability: 37.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 665 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.59% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $28,368 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 $28,628 CAD sits slightly below last year's $33,915 CAD.

That price drop suggests the Escape is already moving through a softer resale phase, which can be good news if you are buying now but less helpful if you plan to sell soon. A used example bought at today’s average may face more limited upside if the model continues to age without major updates. On the other hand, the current market may help you avoid paying peak pricing for a carryover model.

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, 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.

One caveat is that the lane-keeping systems showed inconsistent behaviour in testing, and predictive speed assist could slow the SUV too much for curves. The IIHS has not rated the 2024 model, though the 2023 Escape 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:

• 37.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.59% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Ford says the 2024 Escape carries over the 2023 update, with no major changes and a broad mix of powertrains and technology.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $26,617 CAD, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $28,628 CAD average.
• It offers upscale design and tech-forward appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the newer model-year pricing context and are shopping a carryover Escape with strong safety content, the 2024 is the cleaner choice. If your priority is saving money up front, the 2023 is the better value play, especially if you can find one with the equipment you want.
