</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

We commend the 2026 Ford Escape for the variety of powertrains on offer, including two turbocharged gas models, a hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid. The easiest one for us to recommend is the hybrid 4-cylinder engine with 192 horsepower. With a front-wheel-drive hybrid variant no longer offered, all 2026 Escape Hybrid models have all-wheel drive yet still achieve up to 39 mpg combined. With more power and better fuel economy at a small price premium over the standard turbocharged 3-cylinder, the hybrid is a no-brainer — if it fits your budget. There’s also a 210-hp plug-in hybrid.
The Escape’s standard engine is a 180-hp turbocharged 3-cylinder paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front- or all-wheel drive. We found the base 3-cylinder engine proved adequate for urban errand-running, but struggles with passing on the highway. We also noticed it’s a bit noisy under hard acceleration. For reference, the base Honda CR-V has only a 10-hp advantage.
Those looking to make quicker Escapes (that’s the last time we’ll use that pun), there’s the turbocharged 4-cylinder with 250 hp. It makes the Escape fun to hustle around without sacrificing comfort or practicality. Every Escape with this engine also has all-wheel drive. This output is just a bit short of the turbo engine available in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-50/">Mazda CX-50</a>.
No matter what’s under the hood, the Ford Escape is comfortable. It does a fine job of providing the utility of an SUV with the efficiency and easy drivability of a compact car.
Fuel Economy
The base 3-cylinder engine has a mixed city-and-highway fuel economy rating of up to 30 mpg with front-wheel drive and 28 mpg with all-wheel drive. That’s the same as a Honda CR-V with front-wheel drive and one mpg behind a CR-V with all-wheel drive. The turbocharged 4-cylinder engine has a slight fuel economy penalty but doesn’t require premium gas.
The conventional hybrid powertrain tops both gasoline-only engines at 39 mpg. The plug-in hybrid claims an all-electric range of up to 37 miles and returns 40 combined mpg in gas/electric hybrid operation.

Pleasing Exterior Design

Exterior

Despite not being the freshest of the compact SUV pack, our eyes still like the looks of the 2026 Escape. Where other SUVs have moved on to blockier, chunkier shapes, the Escape retains its rounded and organic design. And this is a model that can boast that it’s been there, done that as far as boxy design; the Escape was doing that decades ago. Want something boxy, rugged, and fresher? Look to the Escape&#8217;s sibling, the Bronco Sport.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Power variety 
Four powertrain options ensure there is something for almost everyone. Two turbocharged engines are available, plus a conventional hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. Sensible us would opt for the hybrid, but enthusiast us would pick the higher-performance turbo.
Efficient hybrids 
The efficient Escape Hybrid gets a mixed fuel economy rating of 39 mpg with standard all-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid is more powerful and efficient and can travel up to 37 miles on electricity alone.
Ford Co-Pilot360 
The standard Ford Co-Pilot360 safety tech array brings many driver assistance features. They include automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high beams. Additional optional features include adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assistance, speed sign recognition, and a 360-degree camera system. The two of those we miss when we don’t have them: the automatic high-beam function and adaptive cruise control. When it comes to parking, we find the surround-view camera nearly indispensable.
Sliding rear seats 
Sliding rear seats are rare in this class, but come standard in the Ford Escape. We didn’t once need to apologize for sticking someone in the rear seat. You can slide them forward to create additional cargo space or back for more passenger legroom.
SYNC 4 
The standard SYNC 4 infotainment system is loaded with features, notably wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You can upgrade the standard 8-inch screen to a 13.2-inch display and add more features like navigation.
B&amp;O audio 
The optional B&amp;O 10-speaker premium audio system brings music to life, making the cabin of the Escape feel (and sound) like a more premium SUV.

Flexible Interior

Interior

We like the roomy and flexible 5-passenger cabin of the Ford Escape. We found the front seats comfortable and supportive but noticed some subpar materials in the lower trims. However, it can get pretty fancy with options like ActiveX seat upholstery, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and a B&amp;O premium audio system.
The SYNC 4 infotainment system is feature-rich and user-friendly. It has a standard 8-inch screen, which can be upgraded to a 13.2-inch screen with more features. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard — a convenience we always appreciate.
We especially like the sliding second-row seats. These make it easy to optimize both passenger and cargo space, depending on requirements, and it’s an uncommon feature among <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>.
We’re impressed that we didn’t hear any griping out of a 6-foot teenager relegated to the rear seat thanks to the Escape’s better-than-average 40.7-inch maximum rear legroom (extremely close to the Honda CR-V’s 41 inches). Cargo space is also above average, with 34.4 cubic feet of room behind the rear seats and up to 65.4 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded down. The CR-V is more impressive here, though, with 39.3/76.5 cubic feet.

KBB Editors' Overview

Today’s compact SUVs are better than ever, and there are some dozen to choose from. The Ford Escape is among the elder statesmen in the segment, and this latest generation is itself showing its age compared to fresher rivals like the all-new, all-hybrid Toyota RAV4 and the always impressive Honda CR-V. That said, it’s still relatively competitive thanks to undergoing regular updates. The Escape also offers several powertrain choices, from a standard 3-cylinder engine to a zesty turbo-4, plus hybrid and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variants. If you have your heart set on an Escape, we’d advise buying one sooner rather than later, as this could be the last year for the model as we know it. And if you reside in six particular states, you won’t be able to buy one at all. See details about that under What’s New.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUVs</a>, including the Ford Escape.

2026 Ford Escape Pricing

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

The Ford Escape’s starting price is in line with the benchmark <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a>, but we should note that a base Escape doesn’t include as many standard active driver assistance features, including one we now can&#8217;t live without: adaptive cruise control. That’s extra on the Escape, but standard on the CR-V, as well as the less expensive <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage/">Kia Sportage</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/">Hyundai Tucson</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/equinox/">Chevrolet Equinox</a>, all of which are newer, too. The least-expensive Ford Escape Hybrid is around $35,000, which we think is a pretty solid value since it also comes with all-wheel drive. Still, a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage-hybrid/">Sportage Hybrid</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/">Tucson Hybrid</a> can be had for less or around the same price, as can the new <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/forester-hybrid/">Subaru Forester Hybrid</a>. The all-new <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/2026/">2026 Toyota RAV4</a> will be hybrid only, but pricing for that model is still forthcoming.
The Ford Escape’s resale value is sub-par, below leaders like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Subaru Forester. Keep in mind that the higher the resale value, the more money you can get when it’s time to sell or trade in your vehicle.

Under the Hood

The Escape offers an efficient and affordable turbo 3-cylinder with 180 hp, plus a stronger turbo 4-cylinder with 250 hp. For the fuel-conscious, there are also two hybrid options: a conventional hybrid with 192 hp and 39 combined mpg, or a 210-hp plug-in hybrid with a 37-mile all-electric range. Although the 4-cylinder turbo is a cut above the usual power range, overall, the Escape’s powertrain performance is about average with comparable rivals.
For most drivers, we’d recommend the conventional hybrid with its excellent balance of performance, efficiency, and value. You still get all that back-seat room, and for the 2026 model year, the hybrid models have all-wheel drive. The plug-in hybrid Escape remains front-wheel drive only.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
The Ford Escape is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile (whichever happens first) basic bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. This coverage is average for the class. Both hybrid models get an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty on hybrid components.
Safety
The Ford Escape has earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>). Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic high beams.

What's New For 2026

What's new for

The 2026 Ford Escape brings nothing new to the table, instead simplifying its lineup in what is likely its last model year before Ford retools the factory where it’s made. Ford Escape hybrid models are no longer available in front-wheel-drive (FWD) form, so all-wheel drive (AWD) is your only option. And if you live in California, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Oregon, or Washington state, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-ford-escape-lincoln-corsair-wont-be-sold-in-6-states/">you won’t be able to register a 2026 Escape at all</a>, since it won’t meet emissions requirements.

The 2026 Jeep Compass is the least expensive Jeep yet still brings the adventurous vibe and off-road skills for which the brand is known.

<ul>
<li>Aging platform</li>
<li>Cargo space</li>
<li>Sub-par resale value</li>
</ul>

This little Jeep doesn’t skimp on power. We appreciate that all Compass models get a 200-horsepower turbo 4-cylinder engine. That’s more verve than what most subcompact SUVs have, and even bests some SUVs a size larger. In our testing, we found it enables quick getaways in traffic and dealing with tricky terrain alike. The engine is refined, and it even exhibits a nice little growl when you put your foot into it. We also like the standard 8-speed automatic transmission, a treat when more and more rivals go to drone-inducing continuously variable transmission (CVT) setups. We should point out that a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-30/">Mazda CX-30</a>, also with standard all-wheel drive, has 191 hp in standard form and up to 250 hp for turbo models. The Mazda isn’t as off-road-oriented but has similar power, excellent driving manners, and a price that starts at thousands less.
The Compass’ ride can be a bit bouncy over rough surfaces, and some of our editors prefer the smaller wheel/tire combination in the Latitude over the less-forgiving larger wheels in the Limited. At just 173.4 inches in length, the Compass is a snap to park on crowded city streets and home garages alike. With a footprint this small, maneuvering in general is easy, and just another asset should you take your “Trail Rated” Jeep onto an actual trail.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The Jeep Compass is EPA-rated at 27 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That’s ok enough, but if superior efficiency is your goal in a subcompact SUV, look to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-cross-hybrid/">Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid</a>; that model has standard all-wheel drive, nearly the same power, is less expensive, and earns 42 mpg combined.

Familiar Exterior

The Jeep Compass may not be a blocky, utilitarian-looking rig like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/wrangler/">Wrangler</a>, but there are enough brand similarities here to at least see lineage. The brand’s 7-slot grill is up front, and if you go for the Trailhawk version, you’ll get distinguishing factors like chunky all-terrain tires, red tow hooks up front, and a black hood treatment to help with glare. We also like the contrasting-color roof options.

Jeep Active Drive 4×4 
The standard Jeep Active Drive 4×4 system is the foundation of what makes the Compass a good off-roader. It’s a fully automatic system that delivers torque to the wheels that need it most.
Disconnecting rear axle 
One clever aspect of the 4×4 system in the Compass is that it can disconnect the drive to the rear axle, essentially making the Compass a front-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicle to help save gasoline when conditions allow.
Selec-Terrain 
Selec-Terrain is standard, allowing drivers to optimize the 4-wheel-drive system for whatever terrain they encounter. Leaving it in Auto mode works well enough most of the time, but it also has Snow and Sand/Mud modes. The Trailhawk adds a Rock mode for more demanding terrain.
Infotainment system 
We like it. The setup has a 10.1-inch touchscreen, is user-friendly and packed with features, including wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Wireless charging and an Alpine premium audio system are among the options.
Highway Assist 
It does what its name implies. Available in the Limited and Trailhawk models, this partially autonomous system uses features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance to help ease the driver’s workload under certain conditions.
Trailhawk 
The Compass Trailhawk is much more than just an appearance package. Thanks to a 20:1 crawl ratio, Rock mode, an extra inch of ground clearance, off-road tires, and skid plates, it has impressive off-road capabilities. All-wheel-drive rivals pale in comparison on the dirt.

Acceptable Interior

We think the 5-passenger cabin of the Compass is acceptable in terms of design, ergonomics, and quality. We also find the cabin fairly quiet. High points include the standard 10.1-inch touchscreen and 7-inch digital instrument cluster (or optional 10.25-inch unit), and available 8-way power driver’s seat with heating and ventilation. At 38.3 inches, rear legroom is better than average for a subcompact SUV. The 27.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats hovers near the bottom of the class. That space expands to a more reasonable 59.8 cubic feet with the seats folded.

The 2026 Compass is the smallest and least expensive entry into the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/">Jeep</a> brand. But it’s an entry nonetheless, granting buyers access to a club comprised of adventure seekers, off-road loyalists, and weekend warriors. Or, at least those claiming to be. Should you actually use a Jeep to do Jeep-capable things, the Compass can impress thanks to its standard all-wheel drive and off-road hardware. These attributes help the Compass stand apart from more commuter-focused rivals like the Honda HR-V, Hyundai Kona, and Toyota Corolla Cross. Yet there’s no denying the Compass is getting long in the tooth and is about to be replaced, at least outside the U.S.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-subcompact-suvs/">subcompact SUVs</a>, including the Jeep Compass.

2026 Jeep Compass Pricing

With the base Sport trim snipped for 2026, it will now take a bit more money to get into a new Compass. The Latitude is now the new entry point. These manufacturer-suggested retail prices (MSRP) include the $1,995 destination fee.
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 72px;">
<tbody>
<tr style="height: 24px;">
<td style="width: 50%; height: 24px;">Compass Latitude</td>

<td style="width: 50%; height: 24px;">Compass Trailhawk</td>
<td style="width: 50%; height: 24px;">$34,390</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

With the prior base Sport trim out of the picture, the new entry for the Compass lineup is the Latitude, leading to a starting price of around $30,000. That’s above subcompact SUVs such as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/kona/">Hyundai Kona</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/seltos/">Kia Seltos</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/hr-v/">Honda HR-V</a>, and closer to the compact class. The Jeep Compass does have all-wheel drive standard, but so does the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/crosstrek/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Subaru Crosstrek,</a> which starts a bit less, along with the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/bronco-sport/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ford Bronco Sport,</a> which is a bit more. Both of those rivals are fresher than the aging Compass.
Before buying a new Jeep Compass, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying. Unlike its sibling, the Wrangler, the resale value of the Jeep Compass lags competitors. The higher the resale value, the more money you can get when it&#8217;s time to sell or trade-in your vehicle.

<ul>
<li>Power</li>
<li>Off-road ability</li>
<li>Jeep brand cachet</li>
</ul>

The Compass employs a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine making 200 hp and 221 lb-ft, which is muscular among subcompact SUVs. An 8-speed automatic transmission sends this to a standard all-wheel-drive system. Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 pounds — better than the class average.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Jeep’s new-vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, which is typical among mainstream manufacturers. Jeep also includes free scheduled maintenance for the first three years.
Safety Ratings
The 2025 Compass earned an overall score of four stars out of a possible five from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>), so that score will likely carry over. It hasn’t been tested fully by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/">IIHS</a>). Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, plus blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

The Compass loses the base Sport trim in 2026 and sees no major changes to the others. There’s a good chance this is the final model year. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/next-jeep-compass-comes-as-hybrid-plug-in-or-ev/">Jeep has shown the next-gen Compass</a>, but it’s unknown at this time whether it will be sold in America.

The revamped 2026 Mazda CX-5 compact SUV is brings fresh design, new technology, and larger dimensions inside and out.

We’re eager to officially test the 2026 Mazda CX-5, but we’ve had plenty of experience driving prior models that use the same powertrain. The CX-5’s 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine is one of our favorites thanks to its verve and snappy character. Its 187 horsepower is now at the lower end of the segment, but we’ve always found the power good, especially when we switch to Sport mode. We’ve also long been fans of Mazda’s 6-speed automatic transmission. In a world of continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), it always feels like a breath of fresh air. That said, in a world of 8- and 10-speed setups, we’re a bit surprised Mazda is sticking with six in 2026.

Refined Exterior

The Mazda CX-5 is all-new for 2026, but the design has clear lineage to prior versions. This third-gen CX-5 retains the model’s signature curves and athletic stance. Mazda leaves the macho stuff to the more adventurous <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-50/">CX-50</a>. Our eyes like it.
What’s not subjective is the new CX-5’s increased size. Mazda says the 2026 model is 4.5 inches longer than the former model, which should put this one at 184.6 inches. That’s enough to give this SUV presence, yet still keep it firmly in the easy-to-park compact SUV class. The wheelbase is three inches longer, which should translate to smoother ride quality, and the width increased by over half an inch.
Mazda says it has also made the CX-5’s cargo area more useful, which we commend since the past model’s was fine but hardly the roomiest out there. Again, we’re still awaiting complete specs, but the automaker says the new CX-5 has a lower load floor and larger aperture.

Sleek Setting

The Mazda CX-5 retains its 2-row/5-passenger configuration, but brings more room for 2026, along with what the automaker dubs a “calm, yet functional” space. The new CX-5’s door openings are larger, which means it should be easier to get in and out, similar to the wide-opening doors of the Nissan Rogue. Once inside, Mazda says its new CX-5 offers increased rear leg, knee, and headroom. How much more we don’t know just yet, as specs are still TBA.
From the first images we’ve seen, the interior looks starker and sleeker. We do like that Mazda has kept a traditional gear lever in the CX-5. No buttons, dials, or switches here to get into drive, reverse, neutral, etc.
Taking center stage in the dash is an available 15.6-inch touchscreen, the largest ever fitted to a Mazda. And if you love some ambient lighting, Mazda will offer seven colors of it in the cabin.

Mazda is giving its best-selling model a makeover, as the CX-5 marks the 2026 model year by entering its third generation. Some aspects are familiar, including the overall design and powertrain, but this new CX-5 is larger than its predecessor and features Mazda-first technology like an available 15.6-inch touchscreen and Google built-in. We’re still awaiting details on other aspects of the CX-5 to assess how well it will compete against rivals like the Honda CR-V and also-new Toyota RAV4 in the cutthroat <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-compact-suvs/">compact SUV segment</a>. As with all of Mazda’s SUVs, the 2026 benefits from standard all-wheel drive (AWD). A hybrid variant is in the works, but not until 2027.

2026 Mazda CX-5 Pricing

Mazda has yet to release many details about the 2026 Mazda CX-5, chief among them: how much will it cost? Based on the 2025 model and the increasing price of, well, everything these days, we can make an educated guess that the 2026 Mazda CX-5 will start around $31,000. That price would make it competitive with the benchmark <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a> and a bit above rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage/">Kia Sportage</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/">Hyundai Tucson</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/equinox/">Chevrolet Equinox</a>. Notably, those rivals charge extra for all-wheel drive, which the CX-5 has standard.

Not everything is new about the 2026 Mazda CX-5, most pointedly its powertrain. It carries over the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 187 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque. It is still paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and has all-wheel drive standard. Gone, however, is the former turbo option, which was a zesty little powerhouse that made up to 256 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. Mazda says the CX-5 will eventually offer a hybrid powertrain, but apparently not the one that’s currently offered in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-50-hybrid/">Mazda CX-50 Hybrid</a> and sourced from the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. This new one is called SkyActiv-Z and set to join the lineup in 2027.
3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Mazda’s new vehicle warranty is for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. This is all typical for mainstream manufacturers, although Hyundai and Kia do better.
Safety Ratings
The 2026 CX-5 has yet to be crash-tested, but it’s good to know the past model earned top scores and that this new one is fitted with a bevy of safety systems and active driver assistance features.

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is all-new and now in its third generation.
