What Ford Escape do most buyers choose?

The Ford Escape years with the most listings are 2018, 2017, and 2019.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, colour, and price. They also often sit in a sweet spot for shoppers who want a newer-feeling SUV without paying the newest-model premium.

What is the Ford Escape's resale value?

Most model years are showing double-digit year-over-year price declines, which is good news if you are shopping used and want more value for your money. The newer model years are also falling meaningfully, so recent Escapes may be easier to justify than they were a year ago. A few older years are declining less sharply, which suggests they have been a bit steadier in the current market.

The 2015, 2014, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
