What Ford Escape do most buyers choose?

The Ford Escape years with the most listings are 2018, 2019, and 2024.

These higher-volume years tend to attract more shoppers because they offer a wider selection of trims, prices, and equipment combinations. That usually makes it easier to find a version that fits your budget and feature priorities.

What is the Ford Escape's resale value?

Most model years show double-digit price declines, which is good news if you are shopping used and want stronger value than a newer example would command. The steepest drops are concentrated across older and mid-cycle years, while a few recent models have fallen less sharply. That creates a broad spread of price points, giving you room to shop by budget and equipment level.

The 2015, 2023, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
