2026 Ford Escape® Model Review - Phoenix, AZ

2026 Ford Escape Exterior

What's New for the 2026 Ford Escape®?

The Ford Escape® has no significant changes for the 2026 model year. However, one important update is that the Ford Escape® is no longer available for sale in California and any other state with California-level emissions standards. Aside from that, the Ford Escape® remains much the same as the 2025 model year. Its spacious cabin, comfortable seats, and smooth ride stand out.

What Are the 2026 Escape® Trims & Features?

The Active® model starts the lineup. The Active® has dual USB charging ports in the back row and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard. This trim also includes an eight-inch infotainment display and a six-speaker audio system.

Next, the ST-Line adds body-colored lower cladding, a mesh grille, and a rear spoiler. A flat-bottom steering wheel gives this trim level a sportier feel as it rides on 18-inch wheels.

The ST-Line Select follows with LED fog lights, power windows, remote start capability, a heated steering wheel, and heated front seats.

The ST-Line Elite includes larger 19-inch wheels, LED headlights, interior ambient lighting, a digital instrument display panel, wireless phone charging, and more safety features.

The top Platinum™ trim comes standard with a 13.2-inch touchscreen display, rain-sensing wipers, and synthetic leather seats.
