The Last Adventure: Saying Bon Voyage to the 2026 Ford Escape 

Since its debut in 2000, the Ford Escape has been a reliable companion on the road. 

But, as with every adventure, we must say goodbye to what we’ve known to discover what’s to come. 

2026 will be the final year of adventure for the Ford Escape as it ends production to make room for a new era of electric vehicles. 

What can we expect to see from the final Escape model? Keep reading to find out! 

Effortless Style: 2026 Ford Escape Colors and Design 

The 2026 Escape boasts classic elegance that doesn’t need harsh lines and bold elements to make a statement. In fact, the flashiest element of the new Escape is the LED light bar.  

Available in six exterior paint colors, you can customize your Ford Escape to match your style: 

• Agate Black Metallic 
• Carbonized Gray Metallic 
• Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat 
• Space Silver Metallic 
• Star White Metallic Tri-coat 
• Vapor Blue Metallic 

The ST-Line Series makes up three of the five trims, offering a perfect blend of sport and sophistication that rivals the competition. Designed with an all-ebony interior and distinctive red stitching on sport-contour bucket seats, the ST-Line trims go the extra mile in their final turn.  

Comfort, Cargo, and Go Go Go 

The 2026 Ford Escape interior is a beautifully crafted oasis on wheels. Textured cloth seats come standard, but if you’re looking to upgrade, opt for the faux-leather seating found on the Platinum model. No matter where you’re sitting, you’ll enjoy the views provided by the Panoramic Vista Roof with Power Shade. With the ability to slide all the way back, front- and back-seat passengers can get their daily dose of Vitamin D without leaving the vehicle. 

Space is the name of the game within the Ford Escape, for both passengers and cargo. The second row features 60/40 split-fold seats, and if that wasn’t enough, the seats can slide back to give you an extra 5.9 inches of space. A feat the competition can’t match. 

And what would an SUV be without cargo space? 

With 65.4 cubic feet of space behind the first row, Car and Driver reports that 21 carry-on suitcases fit with ease. Will you ever be carrying 21 suitcases? Probably not, but it’s nice to have the peace of mind that you can. 

Tech Designed to Actually Make Life Easier 

Being able to navigate modern technology seamlessly can feel like a highlight worthy of its own bullet point on a resume. Luckily, the Ford Escape keeps things simple when it comes to its technology. 

An available 13.2-inch center display is equipped with SYNC 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition, meaning you can ask for what you want without taking your hands off the wheel. 

Connecting to your vehicle without wires getting in the way is a common feature of most 21st-century vehicles, and the Escape is no different. Enjoy wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, plus a wireless charging pad to stay connected on the go. 

Other tech features include a standard 6-speaker audio system or an upgraded 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system, a 12.3-inch digital gauge display, and a pop-up head-up display. 

Enjoy the Adventure While it Lasts at House Ford in Red Wing!
