2026 Ford Escape
2026 Ford Escape
The 2026 Ford Escape is a compact SUV that stands out in its segment by offering four distinct powertrain choices — making it easy to match to your lifestyle — across six trim levels: Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, Plug-In Hybrid, Platinum, and ST-Line Elite. Choose from the 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder (180 hp, up to 30 MPG combined), the performance-focused 2.0L EcoBoost (250 hp, up to 3,500 lbs towing), the 2.5L hybrid (192 hp, up to 39 MPG combined), or the 2.5L plug-in hybrid delivering an impressive 101 MPGe combined with up to 37 miles of all-electric range. Every 2026 Escape comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360 safety suite — including automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and lane-keeping assist — plus wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ through SYNC 4, while higher trims add a 13.2-inch touchscreen, adaptive cruise control, surround-view camera, panoramic Vista Roof, and available Bang & Olufsen premium audio. Worth noting: as the final model year for the Escape nameplate, the 2026 model also receives a refreshed front fascia with a larger grille and reshaped headlights as a fitting send-off.
