Efficient Performance and Refined Dynamics
Under the hood, the 2026 Ford Escape Active is powered by an efficient EcoBoost 1.5L I-3 engine featuring port and direct injection, DOHC, and Ti-VCT variable valve control. This intercooled turbo engine delivers a responsive 180 horsepower, making highway merging and city driving equally effortless. Paired with a smooth-shifting 8-Speed Automatic transmission and a front-wheel-drive configuration, this crossover achieves an impressive EPA-estimated 27 city MPG and 34 highway MPG. Drivers can customize their ride using the driver selectable drivetrain modes, which adjust steering effort and transmission response to match road conditions. The vehicle rides on a standard ride suspension featuring an independent front strut suspension and a short and long arm rear suspension, ensuring a composed and comfortable ride over uneven pavement. Additionally, the active grille shutters optimize aerodynamics on the highway, further enhancing the vehicle's efficiency during long-distance travel.
Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity
The cabin of the Escape Active is a hub of modern technology, centered around the SYNC 4 system with a 13.2-inch center display. This expansive touchscreen features enhanced voice recognition and built-in virtual assistant capabilities, allowing you to control vehicle settings hands-free. In front of the driver, a customizable 12.3-inch digital productivity screen in the instrument panel cluster provides clear, high-resolution readouts of vital driving information. Staying connected on the go is simple with wireless smart device mirroring and a convenient wireless charging pad located in the center console. Passengers will appreciate the multiple USB ports distributed throughout the cabin, ensuring everyone's devices stay powered.
