The Escape is a solid choice for hybrid enthusiasts but falls short in interior refinement.
The 2026 Ford Escape, with its eco-friendly hybrid options and agile handling, attempts to carve out a niche in the crowded compact SUV market. While its hybrid powertrains deliver impressive fuel economy and a surprisingly sporty drive, the interior leaves much to be desired. The materials feel cheap and the seats lack the support needed for long journeys. If you're eco-conscious and prioritize tech features over plush interiors, the Escape could be your match. However, if a refined cabin is high on your list, you might want to look elsewhere.
