The 2026 Ford Escape SUV at Ford of Homewood

The 2026 Ford Escape is a compact SUV with incredible versatility and options to fit your lifestyle. With six distinct models to choose from, including efficient hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants, there's an Escape that's great for your daily drives around Homewood, IL, and weekend adventures beyond.

A Style and Powertrain for Every Driver

The lineup starts with the well-equipped Escape Active, featuring a peppy 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine, available all-wheel drive, and BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert. Step up to the Escape ST-Line with your choice of EcoBoost® or hybrid power, red-stitched seating, and 18-inch wheels for a sportier look and feel.

Craving more luxury? The Escape ST-Line Select and ST-Line Elite add amenities like heated seats, a power liftgate, a larger touchscreen, and the confidence of standard all-wheel drive (AWD). At the top of the range, the premium Escape Platinum coddles with high-end features inside and out.

Efficient Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Options

Committed to lowering your carbon footprint? The Escape Hybrid achieves an impressive 42 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. Its powertrain seamlessly combines gas and electric power for 192 total system horsepower. Regenerative braking recharges the battery pack without needing to plug in.

For even more electric-only range, consider the Escape Plug-in Hybrid. Its 210 horsepower is enough for spirited driving, while the larger battery allows more time in EV mode between gas fill-ups. Charging the battery pack is as easy as plugging into a standard 120-volt outlet using the included mobile charge cord. No charging station required!

An SUV Engineered Around You

The 2026 Escape pampers occupants with a quiet, comfortable cabin. Rear seat passengers will appreciate the sliding second row, which optimizes legroom. Above, the available panoramic Vista Roof bathes the interior in natural light. Wireless charging and Wi-Fi keep everyone connected on the go.

Innovative technology abounds, focused on elevating your driving experience. The Escape's SYNC® 4 infotainment system is a breeze to use, with enhanced voice controls and a large 13.2-inch touchscreen. A 360-degree camera provides a bird's eye view for easier low-speed maneuvering. With Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver assist technology watching out for you, every trip is more relaxing.

2.5L Hybrid

This available engine produces 192 total system horsepower between the powertrain and battery. Using regenerative braking, it captures energy normally lost through braking to help charge the battery - potentially prolonging overall range.

2.5L Plug-In Hybrid

With 210 total system horsepower between the powertrain and battery, this available option combines great acceleration with impressive range. You can also choose to charge using a standard 120V outlet with the included level 1 mobile power cord. Don't feel like plugging in? No problem - it'll run as a regular hybrid.

2.0L EcoBoost®

The most powerful available gas engine in the 2025 Ford Escape® lineup features direct injection and turbocharging for exhilarating performance. With 250 horsepower, and 280 lb.-ft. of torque, a drive a day will keep the boredom away.

1.5L EcoBoost

With 180 horsepower ® 6,000 rpm, this engine features lightweight components and Auto Start-Stop Technology to help reduce fuel consumption and vehicle emissions - especially during stop-and-go traffic.
