What's New for the 2026 Ford Escape®?
The Ford Escape® enters the 2026 model year with very few updates. Its most significant change is that it's no longer available for sale in California or other states following California-level emissions laws. Otherwise, the compact SUV continues to provide a comfortable, quiet, and spacious cabin.
What Are the 2026 Escape® Trims & Features?
The Active® trim kicks things off with features like dual rear USB ports, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, an eight-inch screen, and a six-speaker sound system.
The ST-Line sports a bolder look with a mesh grille, matching body cladding, and an added rear spoiler. A flat-bottom steering wheel and 18-inch wheels give it a sporty edge.
The ST-Line Select adds LED fog lights, heated front seats, remote start, and power windows.
The ST-Line Elite raises the bar with 19-inch wheels, LED headlights, ambient interior lighting, a digital gauge cluster, and wireless charging.
The Platinum™ trim crowns the lineup with a 13.2-inch touchscreen, synthetic leather seats, and rain-sensing wipers.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Escape® Have?
Under the hood, the Active® and ST-Line trims get a 1.5L three-cylinder engine producing 180 horsepower. The ST-Line Select and above come with a 2.0L turbocharged engine delivering 250 horsepower.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Escape® Include?
Standard safety systems include lane-keeping assist, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and forward collision mitigation.
