This crossover offers the ideal balance of sophisticated urban style and the rugged capability required for life in Northern Michigan, ensuring that your daily commute is as enjoyable as your Saturday afternoon adventures.

Performance Prepared for the Changing Seasons

Living in Traverse City, MI, means experiencing a full range of weather conditions, from sun-drenched summer afternoons to snowy winter mornings. The 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line Select is engineered to handle it all with a powertrain that prioritizes both responsiveness and control. Under the hood lies an EcoBoost 2L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine, featuring a DOHC, iVCT variable valve control, and an intercooled turbocharger. Delivering a robust 250HP, this engine provides plenty of spirit for merging onto the highway or navigating rolling hills.

The power is managed by a smooth 8-Speed Automatic transmission with Selectable mode transmission capabilities, allowing you to adapt to the road surface beneath you. Because traction is paramount in our region, this model features All Wheel Drive with Automatic full-time AWD and a Driver selectable drivetrain mode. Whether you are navigating slushy side streets or gravel paths near the water, the Four wheel independent suspensionâ€"featuring a Strut front suspension and Short and long arm rear suspensionâ€"ensures a composed and comfortable ride. With an EPA-estimated 31 highway MPG, you can enjoy long drives along the coast without constant stops at the pump.

Intuitive Technology for the Modern Commute

The cabin of the Escape ST-Line Select serves as a high-tech command center, keeping you connected while you keep your eyes on the road. The dash features 2 total number of 1st row displays, including an 8 inch primary display with Primary monitor touchscreen functionality. This interface is powered by SYNC 4 voice activated audio controls, allowing you to manage your media and vehicle settings with simple vocal commands.

For the driver, the 8.00-inch Gauge cluster display provides essential information at a glance through Digital/analog instrumentation display. Staying connected is effortless thanks to Smart device wireless mirroring and Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity, ensuring your favorite playlists and contacts are always within reach. With 4 USB ports strategically placed throughout the cabin, every passenger can keep their devices charged during trips across the peninsula.

Premium Comfort and Interior Versatility

Inside, the 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line Select offers a refined atmosphere characterized by an Ebony interior and Cloth and vinyl front seat upholstery. The Heated Vinyl/Cloth Front Sport Contour Bucket Seats are a welcome luxury during chilly Michigan mornings, especially when paired with the Heated steering wheel. The driver enjoys a Power driver seat with 2-way power lumbar support, making it easy to find the perfect position for long-distance comfort.

Versatility is a hallmark of this crossover. The 60-40 folding rear seats feature manual fore and aft adjustment, allowing you to prioritize legroom or cargo space depending on the day's requirements. Loading up after a trip to the local market is simplified by the Power Liftgate, which provides easy Power cargo area access release via the keyfob or the dashboard. The Dual-zone front climate control ensures both the driver and front passenger remain comfortable, while Rear under seat climate control ducts keep those in the back cozy regardless of the season.

Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is at the forefront of the Escapes design, providing peace of mind for families and commuters alike. This vehicle is equipped with 7 airbags, including the Safety Canopy System curtain first and second-row overhead airbags and a Driver side knee airbag. To help prevent incidents before they occur, the Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Pedestrian Detection act as a second set of eyes on the road.

Navigating busy parking lots in downtown Traverse City, MI is made easier with the High Resolution Digital Camera and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking. The BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) monitors your surroundings, while Lane Keeping Alert helps ensure you stay centered during highway travel. Additionally, the Post-Collision Braking system is designed to automatically apply brake pressure after a collision to help reduce the severity of a secondary impact, demonstrating Ford's commitment to occupant protection.

Athletic Exterior and Purposeful Design

The exterior of the 2025 Ford Escape ST-Line Select is finished in a striking Space Silver Metallic, a color that perfectly complements the vehicle's modern lines. The ST-Line aesthetic is enhanced by a Black grille, a Rear lip spoiler, and Body-colored door handles. It rides on 18-inch Rock Metallic Painted Aluminum wheels, giving it a grounded and athletic stance that looks just as good in a suburban driveway as it does at a trailhead.

Functional design elements abound, including Roof rails for additional gear-carrying capacity and Active grille shutters that optimize aerodynamics. Visibility is exceptional thanks to LED low and high beam headlights, LED front fog lights, and LED daytime running lights. The Heated door mirrors are a practical addition for clearing frost quickly, while the Deep tinted windows provide privacy and protection from the sun during summer drives.
