Is the Ford Escape being discontinued, and what should Southwest Houston buyers do?
Yes. Ford ended U.S. Escape production on December 17, 2025, after a 25-year run across four generations. Southwest Houston buyers can check our online new-vehicle inventory for any Escape still available, or compare the Bronco Sport, Maverick and Mustang Mach-E at our Southwest Freeway store.

Yes, the Ford Escape is discontinued, with no 2027 model planned
Ford has no 2027 Escape planned, and new Escapes are sold only from the inventory dealers still hold. The change makes room in Kentucky. Ford invested nearly $2 billion to retool its Louisville Assembly Plant for affordable electric vehicles, including a new midsize electric pickup launching in 2027.
Once the last new Escapes are gone, new sales come only from remaining dealer inventory. Buyers who want a new Ford compact crossover will need to look at what is still on the lot now, or at a different model in the Ford lineup.

I purchased a Maverick that happened to be under a recall, and every one of my questions was answered promptly. The team worked hard to get my truck to me as quickly as possible, and they even provided a loaner while I waited. The buying experience was excellent — no pressure at all. We were able to work out a deal that everyone felt good about. My salesman, Mo, was professional, patient, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Overall, it was a smooth and genuinely positive experience”
