The 2026 Ford Escape is the fourth-generation U.S. compact crossover, and Ford publishes it as an active 2026 retail model with six trims: Active, ST-Line, ST-Line Select, Platinum, ST-Line Elite, and Plug-in Hybrid.

For 2026, the lineup spans gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Published sources show a 1.5L EcoBoost gas setup (FWD/AWD), a 2.0L EcoBoost gas setup (AWD), an available hybrid setup in upper trims, and a dedicated Escape Plug-in Hybrid model. EPA certification for 2026 Escape lists five U.S. configurations: FWD PHEV, AWD hybrid, FWD 1.5T gas, AWD 1.5T gas, and AWD 2.0T gas.
