Powertrains and Technology in the 2026 Ford Escape

This new Escape offers a range of engines to suit every driver — from fuel efficiency to spirited performance.
The 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder engine is perfect for urban driving and those seeking a balance between performance and economy. It’s peppy yet remains efficient.
For those wanting more power, the 2.0L EcoBoost engine with all-wheel drive is the perfect choice. It delivers dynamic performance, strong acceleration, and a towing capacity of up to 1,587 kg — ideal for pulling a small trailer or camper.

The major innovation lies in the electrified versions. The traditional hybrid pairs a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine with an electric motor, achieving as low as 5.6 L/100 km in city driving. The system operates seamlessly — no charging required — and adapts effortlessly to mixed driving conditions.
The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version takes efficiency even further. With an electric-only range of about 60 km, it handles most daily commutes without fuel, while maintaining the flexibility of a gas engine for longer trips. The transition between electric and hybrid modes happens automatically, ensuring a smooth, worry-free experience.

On the road, the Escape offers well-tuned suspension, precise steering, and stable handling even on slippery surfaces. The 8-speed automatic transmission in gasoline models provides smooth, efficient shifts, while the eCVT in hybrids prioritizes seamless operation.

Technology meets modern expectations as well. The SYNC 4 infotainment system, with a touchscreen up to 13.2 inches, supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also features over-the-air updates, so you always benefit from the latest innovations without visiting the dealership.

In terms of safety, the 2026 Escape comes equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite, including automatic emergency braking, collision alert, lane-keeping assist, rearview camera, and blind spot detection. Some versions also feature a 360° camera, active park assist, and adaptive cruise control.

2026 Ford Escape Trim Levels: Which One Fits You Best?

The 2026 Escape lineup was designed to meet a wide range of needs while maintaining consistent quality and style.
The Active version offers a well-equipped, affordable entry point for drivers seeking value and practicality.
Next comes the ST-Line, adding a sporty touch with black wheels, red accents, and a more aggressive stance.
The ST-Line Select introduces all-wheel drive and enhanced comfort features, while the ST-Line Elite includes even more advanced equipment, such as a larger screen and hands-free power liftgate.
At the top, the Platinum version embodies luxury in a compact form — with premium upholstery, a head-up display, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system for a top-tier experience.
Finally, the PHEV version is perfect for those looking to maximize fuel savings without compromising range. Offering all the benefits of an EV for city driving, while keeping a gasoline engine for longer distances, it’s the ideal step toward electrification.
