You can also upgrade to ActiveX® trimmed seats to get a premium feel that lasts for years. Every knob and screen sits exactly where you need it, so you never have to take your eyes off the road for long.

This SUV comes loaded with the SYNC 4® system to keep you connected. You can use the available 13.2" center display to run Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® without any wires.

The FordPass® App allows you to start your car or check your fuel levels from your phone. Since the vehicle has 1st class tech, you will always feel like you are driving the future.

The 2026 Ford Escape uses smart tech to protect your family. Standard features include Pre-Collision Assist® and Automatic Emergency Braking to help you avoid accidents.

These systems work together to ensure you stay safe on every trip.
