2026 Ford Escape Trim Levels
Ford offers the 2026 Escape in multiple trims, plus Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid configurations.¹ Here’s how many shoppers choose:
- Active: A great “daily driver” starting point—comfortable, efficient, and easy to live with.¹
- ST-Line: Adds a sportier look and feel for drivers who want style upgrades without jumping all the way to top trims.¹
- ST-Line Select / ST-Line Elite: A popular sweet spot for feature content—often the place shoppers land when they want more tech and convenience.¹
- Platinum: The “fully loaded” direction—premium touches and a more upscale experience.¹
- Escape Plug-In Hybrid: Best for drivers who want to do more short trips on electric power while keeping gas flexibility for longer drives.¹
Local tip: If your routine includes steady back-and-forth on Hanover Street, consider choosing your powertrain first (gas vs. hybrid vs. plug-in hybrid), then pick the trim that has the comfort/tech you want.¹
2026 Ford Escape Power and Performance
One of the Escape’s biggest strengths is choice. Ford lists multiple available powertrains for 2026, including turbo gas, Hybrid, and Plug-In Hybrid options.¹
EPA-estimated efficiency and electric range
EPA fuel economy varies by powertrain and drivetrain configuration (FWD/AWD).³ The Plug-In Hybrid is rated at 101 MPGe combined (city/highway) and 37 miles of EPA-estimated all-electric range.¹

If towing is on your checklist, Ford’s towing guide calls out these maximums (varies by configuration and equipment):

Plug-In Hybrid: Charging Basics
If you’re considering the Plug-In Hybrid, Ford notes a 120-volt outlet and Level 1 mobile power cord for charging.¹ For many owners, that means you can start with a standard household outlet and then decide later if a faster home setup makes sense.
