The Ford Escape has been a trustworthy compact crossover vehicle since its introduction in 2000, and its variety of potential features and capabilities has only grown since then.

Until 2017, only 3 trim levels were available: the S, SE, and Titanium. Newer Escapes have as many as 7 trim levels, with higher trim levels like the Titanium Hybrid offering premium features such as woodgrain interior trim.

CoPilot breaks down trim levels for each recent year model of Ford Escape, as well as how trim level affects used pricing.
