Power and Range
The 2026 Ford Escape PHEV is powered by a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-four engine paired with an electric motor to deliver a combined 210 horsepower. Designed for smooth, quiet operation, this powertrain excels in city traffic and transitions cleanly at highway speeds. The front-wheel-drive setup maximizes efficiency while offering confident response for lane changes and merging.
An EPA-estimated 37 miles of all-electric range covers most daily driving needs, keeping local commutes and short errands entirely gas-free. When the battery depletes, this new Ford SUV seamlessly switches to hybrid mode, using both the gasoline engine and regenerative braking to extend total range without requiring a charging stop. Drivers can choose from selectable EV modes to prioritize electric power, save battery for later, or let the vehicle optimize efficiency automatically.
