2026 Ford Escape
First up in the lineup, the Escape opens at about $30,350 and gives buyers four powertrain choices. You can pick a 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder, a 2.0L EcoBoost four with 250 horsepower, a hybrid that lands at 39 mpg combined, or a plug-in hybrid with 37 miles of all-electric range. A sliding second row, 65.4 cu ft of cargo with the seats folded, and an available LED light bar round out the practical side. Heads up, though, the 2026 Escape isn’t sold in California, Massachusetts, Oregon, New York, Vermont, or Washington due to emissions rules.
2026 Ford Bronco Sport
Take the Escape’s compact footprint, swap the on-road manners for trail-ready hardware, and you get the Bronco Sport. Pricing kicks off near $33,840, and standard 4×4 with G.O.A.T. modes comes on every trim. The Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks ride on a 180-hp 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder, while the Badlands gets a 250-hp 2.0L EcoBoost four. New for 2026 is the Bronze Package, which adds bronze accents and exclusive 17-inch wheels on the Big Bend and Badlands.
2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E
Shopping for an EV? The Mach-E is the only fully electric option among Ford SUV models. Pricing starts at $37,795 for the rear-drive Select with 264 horsepower. The GT and Rally trims deliver 480 hp, with an off-road tune on the Rally that includes raised suspension and chunky tires. The range depends on the battery and drivetrain, but Ford lists up to 320 miles with the extended-range battery. Cargo holds 29.7 cu ft behind the rear seats and grows to about 59.7 cu ft with the seats folded.
2026 Ford Explorer
For families who need a third row, the Explorer is the go-to. Six trims, seating for six or seven, and a 300-hp turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost are available in the base configuration. Step up to the ST, and you get a turbo 3.0L V6 making 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. Towing tops out at 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, and a Class III Trailer Tow Package comes standard across the lineup. New for 2026 is the Tremor trim, a more off-road-focused setup with a lifted suspension, all-terrain tires, and a limited-slip rear differential.
2026 Ford Bronco
For drivers who’d rather hit a trail than a carpool lane, the standard Bronco is a body-on-frame off-roader with two- and four-door layouts. Pricing opens at $40,495. Engine options are a 300-hp turbo 2.3L four or a 330-hp twin-turbo 2.7L V6. A seven-speed manual is available with the four-cylinder, which is rare on a 2026 SUV. Add the Sasquatch Package for 35-inch tires, locking front and rear axles, and a lifted suspension. The doors come off, the roof comes off, and the windshield can fold flat, too.
2026 Ford Expedition
Sitting at the top of the lineup, the Expedition seats up to eight and tows up to 9,600 pounds. A standard 3.5L twin-turbo V6 makes 400 hp, while the off-road Tremor version bumps that to 440 hp. Pick the longer MAX body style, and you get 104.6 cu ft of cargo room with all the seats folded. King Ranch and Platinum trims add Del Rio leather, ventilated captain’s chairs, and a 24-inch panoramic display paired with a 13.2-inch center screen.
Picking the Right Ford SUV for the Way You Drive
Daily commuter on a tight budget? Look at the Escape. Want a small SUV that handles a forest trail without complaint? Bronco Sport. Three kids and a soccer schedule? Explorer. Going electric? Mach-E. Weekend off-roader? Bronco. Big family with a camper out back? Expedition. With six picks across price points, powertrains, and personalities, most shoppers know within five minutes of sitting in one whether it’s the right fit.
