Overview

The Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-In started life with delays and recalls, but the efficient compact crossover offers a compelling mix of fuel economy, performance, and tech. While the standard Escape and Escape Hybrid are offered in multiple trims, the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variant comes in a single, well-equipped package.
What’s New for the 2023 Ford Escape
The whole Escape lineup got a new look for 2023, with a reshaped bumper and a larger grille. A larger 13.2-inch touchscreen comes standard for the new model year.
Design
Ford has moved the Escape from its somewhat awkwardly styled previous generation to a much more modern, grown-up look. The 2023 refresh gives the compact crossover even more curb appeal, bringing it in line with the larger and more expensive Ford Edge.
Powertrain
The plug-in hybrid powertrain uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors to produce 210 horsepower. Acceleration is decent but not impressive, with the run from zero to 60 mph taking almost eight seconds. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) comes standard, but the Escape PHEV is only offered with front-wheel drive (FWD).
Thanks to its larger battery over the standard hybrid, the Escape PHEV offers an all-electric range of 37 miles. It’s also the most efficient Escape model, with city fuel economy ratings of up to 44 mpg.
Interior
The 2023 Escape’s interior is a nice place to spend time, with plenty of space for people in both rows. Partial vinyl and cloth upholstery comes standard, but buyers can add leather with the $4,350 PHEV Premium Package. An eight-way power driver’s seat and folding second-row seats are standard, and the sliding second row allows taller people or larger items to ride with ease.
Technology
The standard Escape and Escape Hybrid come with an 8-inch touchscreen by default but can be upgraded to a 13.2-inch unit. The Escape PHEV gets the larger display as standard kit. It offers Ford SYNC 4 infotainment software, when runs flawlessly on the large screen, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, SiriusXM radio, HD radio, and more. The new interface also brings over-the-air (OTA) updates, allowing Ford to refine existing features and add new functions over time.
Safety
The 2023 Ford Escape missed out on a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), falling from the high marks set by its predecessor. That’s not an indication that it’s less safe, however, as the lower scores are due to the IIHS’s new side crash test. The updated format uses more force in testing, and a vehicle must earn a “Good” or “Acceptable” score to qualify for a Top Safety Pick award. The Escape’s “Marginal” rating in the category knocked it out of contention.
Standard safety kit is plentiful, as Ford equips automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, lane keeping, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warnings, a rearview camera, and road-departure warnings.
Pricing
A single trim level makes pricing the 2023 Ford Escape PHEV simple. The SUV starts at $40,500, which reaches $42,640 after the $1,495 destination and $645 acquisition fees.

Reviewed a 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-in on Apr 24, 2025
So far I love the car. It has a couple things that I don't like, but not a deal breaker. I don't like that I have to change drive mode every time I start the car. If I have it on ECO mode, it should start at that mode the next time I get in, it doesn't, I have to manually change it every time. Also, don't like the driving assistance. When a car is stopped at the stop light, it doesn't come to a gradual stop, it comes to a hard brake stop, even when going 45 or 50 mph. These are not big deals because I rarely use driving assistance and changing modes is just annoying. That's all. Everything else from the screen, seats, space, gas mileage, and everything else is phenomenal. I love the vehicle and hope to keep it for a very long time.

If you find a listing below $22,844, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-in's resale value?
The current average of $22,849 sits slightly below last year's $26,515.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help future buyers but may limit how much value you recover if you sell soon. If you buy at the right price and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you can improve your odds of holding value better over time. A lower entry price today can also make the ownership math more favorable if you plan to keep it for several years.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-in or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2023 if:
- 28.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 13.83% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2023 is the better primary target if you want a model year with decent deal availability, strong clean-inventory share, and a softer price trend. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can also compare nearby years to see whether a lower asking price outweighs the 2023’s current market balance.
