Choose Your Favorite Ford Escape Powertrain
The new Ford Escape for sale excels in many areas, one of which is offering drivers and their families plenty of choices. This versatile ride is available with one of four powertrains – a selection that competing small crossover SUVs can't typically match – though availability may be limited due to it being the model's final production year. Pick from two EcoBoost turbocharged engines, including a 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter option, or electrify your drive with either a hybrid or plug-in hybrid powertrain.
While most trim levels of the 2026 Ford Escape for sale come standard with either the 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo engine, the new Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid model has an electrified powertrain you can plug in and recharge, enabling you to drive limited distances on all-electric power alone.
If you're interested in a 2026 Ford Escape hybrid SUV with a more traditional gas-electric powertrain architecture that doesn't require plug-in charging, you can opt for the available 2.5-liter hybrid engine on any trim except the Active or ST-Line, as well as the PHEV model.
The total power output for each of the four available Ford Escape engines is as follows:
- 180-horsepower 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine
- 192-horsepower 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain
- 210-horsepower 2.5-liter plug-in hybrid
- 250-horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine
The configuration options don't end there. SUV shoppers can select from front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive when they lease or buy a new Ford Escape for sale.
