What Makes the 2026 Ford Escape So Special?

Performance

CUV shoppers shouldn’t have to choose between horsepower and fuel economy, and in the new Escape, they don’t. Under the hood of the Ford Escape, you can find a 1.5L EcoBoost® with Auto Start-Stop Technology engine to start, which will carry you to an estimated 27 city / 34 highway MPG. Once you factor in agile handling, it’s easy to see why the Escape is a CUV that you can both depend on and feel good about driving. Here’s a list with some more performance features available for this model:

• Front-Wheel Drive
• 1.5L EcoBoost® Engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology
• Post‑Collision Braking

Technology

What you should expect from the technology in a new Escape is a commitment to making your life easier, starting with safety. The newest model is available with the latest safety innovations from Ford, which will help you watch the road and cover your blind spots. That means a stress-free ride for everyone in the car is business as usual with the Escape. For an even more comprehensive list of available technology features, read this list:

• Intelligent Access with Push‑Button Start
• Pedestrian Detection
• Pre‑Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

Design

The first time you see a new CUV, you should know if it’s a good fit for you, and Ford made sure the Escape shows you what you need to see. The only problem you’ll find with the 65 cu ft of cargo volume in the Escape is deciding on what to do with all the space. Beyond space, the Escape also promises a comfortable ride for all occupants. There are additional design features and options for this model, including:

• Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control
• Privacy Glass – Second Row Side and Liftgate
• Floor Mats – Carpeted Front and Rear
