2026 Ford Escape

2026 Ford Escape in Angleton, TX

The 2026 Ford Escape keeps the compact SUV formula that has made it a consistent choice for daily drivers and active families, offering a well-rounded two-row cabin, modern technology, and multiple powertrain options — including hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants — in a package that fits everyday Angleton life without demanding a large footprint. Standard Ford Co-Pilot360® safety technology, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and up to 65.4 cubic feet of total cargo volume make the Escape a capable and connected daily companion whether you're navigating the Gulf Coast Freeway or loading up for a weekend away from Brazoria County.

Interior Features Designed for How You Actually Use Your Day

The Escape's cabin seats five and opens up to 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats fold flat — a notably versatile range for a compact two-row SUV. Standard 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks let you carry a combination of passengers and cargo without having to choose one over the other. The Active base trim includes cloth seat upholstery, manual front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and the SYNC® 4 infotainment system with an 8-inch center display and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. A standard rearview camera and rear privacy glass come included across the lineup. The second-row sliding seat design offers up to 5.9 additional inches of legroom adjustment, allowing occupants to configure the rear space to their own comfort preferences on longer drives between Angleton and Houston.

Exterior Features That Look Sharp Without Overcomplicating Things

The Escape's exterior presents a modern, athletic compact SUV design with clean body lines and a well-proportioned profile that reads as confident without being aggressive. Standard LED lighting, power side view mirrors with integrated turn signals, and rear privacy glass give the base Active trim a polished, complete appearance from every angle. A manual liftgate on standard trims and a power liftgate on higher trims round out the rear access options. Multiple exterior color choices let Angleton drivers personalize the Escape's appearance without requiring an appearance package, and 17-inch alloy wheels on the base trim provide a grounded, finished look that suits both city and highway driving.

Performance Features That Cover the Full Range of Daily Driving

The standard 1.5-liter EcoBoost® three-cylinder delivers 180 horsepower paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, handling everyday Angleton commuting and weekend errands with smooth, efficient power. A standard towing capacity of 2,000 pounds covers small trailers, watercraft, and utility loads for drivers who occasionally need to hitch up without making towing a daily requirement. The available 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain brings 192 combined system horsepower and substantially improved efficiency for Angleton-area drivers who cover significant daily mileage between Angleton, Lake Jackson, and the surrounding Brazoria County communities. Regenerative braking on hybrid models recovers energy during deceleration, feeding it back to the battery without any driver input required.

Safety Features That Come Standard on Every Escape

Ford Co-Pilot360® comes standard across every 2026 Escape, providing BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with rear cross-traffic braking, Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist® with Automatic Emergency Braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, and dynamic brake support. Auto High-Beam headlamps adjust automatically between high and low beams based on oncoming traffic, reducing manual intervention on darker Brazoria County roads after dark. A standard rearview camera activates every time the Escape shifts into reverse, and a comprehensive airbag system — including seven standard airbags with a Personal Safety System™ for driver and front passenger — covers occupants throughout the cabin.
