Passenger-Friendly Interior
The two-row 2026 Escape can comfortably and safely hold up to five passengers. Front and rear passengers each have some of the most generous dimensions for legroom in the class. Additionally, upper trims feature premium upholstery that elevates passenger comfort.
Cargo Volume
All SUV platforms are evaluated on their ability to haul cargo. Gas-powered versions can offer up to 1,062 litres of cargo volume behind the second row, which can expand up to 1,851 litres when the rear seat is folded down. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions have similar, but slightly less cargo room dimensions, to accommodate additional equipment for the battery system.
