2024 Ford Escape ST-Line

The 2024 Ford Escape is a compact SUV that squares off against the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Rogue. The Escape feels nimble around town, with responsive steering and a light, eager character that suits its size. The ride is composed on most roads, though the sportier ST-Line trims trade a bit of comfort for firmer control. Inside, the Escape offers a straightforward dashboard, comfortable seats, and generous cargo space for its class. A large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard, along with Ford's Co-Pilot360 safety suite. The ST-Line is the sporty pick in the Escape lineup, with a blacked-out grille and firmer suspension tuning that the Active trim skips. This front-wheel-drive hybrid pairs a 2.5L I4 hybrid with an automatic transmission, delivering 192 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 39 mpg combined. You get a sport-tuned suspension that sharpens cornering, though the ride is noticeably stiffer than the standard Escape's setup.
