What's New for the 2026 Ford Escape®?
For 2026, the Ford Escape® continues largely unchanged. The most notable difference is that it's no longer offered in California or any state that enforces California emissions standards. Beyond that, the Escape® remains comfortable, roomy, and composed on the road.

The ST-Line Elite delivers LED headlights, ambient lighting, 19-inch wheels, wireless charging, and a fully digital display.
