The design of the 2026 Ford Escape reflects a beautiful evolution. Its lines are sharper, its silhouette dynamic, and its road presence instantly recognizable. Ford has found the perfect balance between a compact size ideal for the city and a generous interior space for long trips. Whether you are driving on Highway 15 or parking downtown, you will appreciate its maneuverability and modern style.

The 2026 Ford Escape offers several powertrains, each designed to meet different needs. We offer the 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder gasoline version, which produces about 180 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that ensures smooth, responsive, and fuel-efficient driving. It is an excellent option if you are looking for an affordable and efficient SUV for daily driving.
For those who want more power, the version equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine develops up to 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. It is also paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission and can tow up to 3,500 lb when properly equipped. This powertrain is perfect for getaways to the countryside, towing a small trailer, or for drivers who enjoy a more dynamic ride. Intelligent all-wheel drive is available and particularly appreciated for our Québec winters.
We also offer two electrified powertrains. The hybrid Escape, with its 2.5L Atkinson-cycle engine combined with an electric motor, delivers a total power of about 200 horsepower. It stands out for its combined fuel consumption of about 6.0 L/100 km, making it one of the most economical compact SUVs in its category. No plug-in charging required--it recharges itself while driving.
Finally, for those who want to take a further step toward electrification, the plug-in hybrid version allows up to 60 km of range in 100% electric mode. It is ideal for daily trips around Saint-Jérôme or toward Montréal. When the battery is empty, the gasoline engine automatically takes over. It recharges easily at home on a Level 2 charging station in about 3.5 hours.
