The Escape offers four powertrains so you can match performance to your routine. There is a balanced 1.5L EcoBoost for daily driving, a stronger 2.0L EcoBoost for quicker passing, and a hybrid and a plug-in hybrid for excellent efficiency. All-wheel drive is available for added traction when the weather changes. Expect smooth acceleration, confident highway manners, and calm road noise on I-70 and I-64.
The 2026 Ford Escape comfortably seats five. A sliding second row helps you choose between legroom and cargo space, and the rear seats fold flat for bigger loads. Smart storage keeps small items tidy for errands around St. Charles. Available upgrades include a panoramic roof, heated front seats, and sport-contour seating that makes longer drives feel easy.
The cabin centers on an optional large touchscreen with simple menus and quick responses. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep your maps, music, and messages close. Available connected navigation helps with traffic and charging stops on hybrid and plug-in models. To round out the experience, add helpful features like a digital gauge display, wireless charging, and a premium audio system.
Every 2026 Ford Escape includes advanced driver-assist features that help with the everyday stuff. Blind-spot alerts and rear cross-traffic warnings are handy in busy parking lots. Lane keeping and available adaptive cruise control can reduce fatigue in stop-and-go traffic. Available surround-view cameras simplify tight downtown parking. It is a calm, confidence-building drive.
