New 2026 FordEscape ST-Line Select

The 2026 Ford Escape ST-Line Select AWD is a compact SUV designed for drivers who want everyday efficiency paired with confident all-weather capability and a sport-focused appearance. This trim blends the turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost engine with standard all-wheel drive, updated technology, and distinctive ST-Line design cues that suit commuting, family use, and frequent highway travel.

This Escape is well suited for drivers who value responsive performance without moving into a larger SUV. The ST-Line Select trim targets buyers who want a balance of athletic styling, advanced infotainment, and comfort features such as heated seating and dual-zone climate control. Its size makes it easy to maneuver and park while still offering flexible cargo space for daily errands or weekend trips.

Power comes from a 2.0L turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering strong midrange acceleration and confident passing performance. The AWD system enhances traction in rain or snow, while the independent suspension prioritizes ride comfort and stability. EPA-estimated 23 city and 31 highway mpg help keep operating costs reasonable, and Fords EcoBoost engines are known for broad parts availability and straightforward service routines.

Safety technology focuses on prevention and driver awareness. Standard systems include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, blind spot monitoring, rear parking sensors, and intersection assist to help detect cross traffic. A digital rearview camera improves visibility, and multiple airbags support occupant protection. Federal crash-test ratings are available through NHTSA once finalized for this model year.

The ST-Line Select package emphasizes usability and modern convenience. Heated front sport contour seats with red stitching improve comfort in colder conditions, while a heated steering wheel and power liftgate add daily convenience. SYNC 4 with enhanced voice recognition and connected navigation supports intuitive control of media and directions, and the premium audio system enhances longer drives.

In the compact SUV segment, the Escape ST-Line Select competes closely with models like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. Compared with these alternatives, the Escape stands out for its turbocharged performance feel and available towing capability, while remaining competitive in efficiency, cabin technology, and ride comfort for everyday driving.

Buyers often ask how ST-Line Select differs from lower trims, and the answer is its stronger engine, AWD availability, and sport-focused interior details. Safety features like intersection assist are designed to reduce collision risk in complex traffic situations. Technology packages improve navigation and voice control usability, and the Escapes towing capability supports light trailers or small recreational gear.
