      2026 Ford Escape Active: Modern Style and Daily Practicality

      The 2026 Ford Escape Active combines versatile interior space with modern efficiency, making it an ideal crossover for growing families and busy commuters alike. Designed to elevate your daily routine, this crossover provides flexible seating options and dynamic cargo space that easily adapts to shopping errands, school drop-offs, or weekend road trips. Fuel economy ratings of 27 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway offer reliable efficiency for daily drives into Augusta. If you are exploring our current selection of pre-owned models or comparing crossover options, the Ford Escape Active stands out as a balanced vehicle that delivers comfort, capability, and contemporary styling.

      Efficient Performance and Dynamic Capability

      Under the hood, the 2026 Ford Escape Active is powered by an EcoBoost 1.5L I-3 port/direct injection, DOHC, Ti-VCT variable valve control, intercooled turbo, premium unleaded, engine with 180HP. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and Front Wheel Drive, this powertrain provides responsive acceleration and refined cruising across varied road conditions. Drivers can tailor their experience using the driver-selectable drivetrain modes, while the auto stop-start engine helps maximize fuel savings during city travel. The chassis features a standard ride suspension with an independent strut front suspension and a short and long arm rear suspension, delivering a smooth, composed ride over rough pavement. Additional mechanical details include an aluminum engine block, a 3.81 axle ratio, push-button start, and a stainless steel quasi-dual exhaust finished with a chrome tip.

      Smart Technology and Intuitive Connectivity

      Inside the cabin, the Escape Active keeps driver and passengers connected through an intuitive suite of technology. The center console features SYNC 4 with an 8-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen with swipe capability, voice-activated audio controls, and smart device wireless mirroring. Key driving information is displayed clearly on an 8.00-inch digital and analog gauge cluster display, complete with the SmartGauge with EcoGuide feedback display. Passengers can stay connected on the go thanks to an integrated 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and four USB ports distributed throughout the cabin. Entertainment is supplied by a 6-speaker audio system with SiriusXM 360L capability. Safety technology is equally comprehensive, featuring Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS Blind Spot Information System, Lane Keeping Alert, Driver Alert monitor, and a high-resolution digital rear camera.

        Great car

        by Tedj on 8/20/2025 4:47:27 PM

        We have had our escape hybrid 5 years. I tell my friends you get free oil changes, tires and brake work for the life of the car. That's how much the savings in fuel amounts too!
