An SUV for Every Adventure

2026 Ford Escape 

The Ford Escape is a small SUV that’s well-suited for everyday driving. Whether you’ve got errands to run or you’re packing up for a road trip, the Escape offers attractive styling and an easy-to-adapt interior, thanks to the second-row sliding seats that feature a 60/40 split-fold down. It also features convenient technology like standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ and standard SYNC® 4 with an 8-inch center display, which can be upgraded to available SYNC® 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition and a 13.2-inch center display.

The Ford Escape lineup gives drivers a variety of engines to choose from, including a hybrid engine and a plug-in hybrid engine for increased fuel efficiency. 

2026 Ford Bronco Sport 

Designed for adventure, the Ford Bronco Sport lineup offers four smart and sporty trim levels, each offering standard SYNC® 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition, a 13.2-inch center display, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and Alexa Built-in. 

The Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. Modes® (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) comes standard. The first three trim levels get five modes — Normal, ECO, Sport, Slippery, and Off-Road — while the top trim level, Badlands, gets two more: Rock Crawl and Rally. These modes let the Bronco Sport adapt performance to suit various driving conditions. 

Plus, this off-roading SUV can give you 8.8 inches of ground clearance with available all-terrain off-road tires and offers an available 24 inches of water-fording capability when properly equipped. 

2026 Ford Bronco

Boost your adventures with the Ford Bronco. This incredibly capable SUV gives you three engine options — a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® 1-4, a 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6, and a 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 — and seven trim levels to choose from. You can pick a two-door style, which includes a standard hard top, or a four-door style, which includes a standard soft top. You can also take the doors off for a more thrilling adventure. 

Explore even farther with up to 13.1 inches of ground clearance and up to 37 inches of water fording capability. Available Trail Control™ gives you the convenience of off-road cruise control, allowing you to appreciate your surroundings at a slower pace. 

The cabin is conveniently designed with features like marine-grade vinyl and washable floors with built-in drains, which serve to simplify clean-up. From the inside out, the 2026 Ford Bronco was built to endure the most rugged adventures.

2026 Ford Explorer 

Offering six trim levels and two engine options — a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine and an available 3.0-liter EcoBoost® engine — the Ford Explorer is a three-row, midsize SUV that seats up to seven and features a flexible cabin with available 85.8 cubic feet of cargo space. A third-row 50/50 manual split-fold bench seat comes standard, but can be upgraded to available PowerFold® third-row seats in higher trim levels, while a second-row 35/30/35 split-fold-flat bench seat is an available option for extra versatility. 

Take advantage of the Ford Explorer SUV’s 5,000-pound towing capacity¹ when you need to bring extra gear with you, and experience the convenience of available BlueCruise enhanced hands-free highway driving.

2026 Ford Expedition

Equipped for bigger adventures, the Expedition offers seating for up to eight and boasts a 9,600-pound available max towing capacity.² This family-friendly, full-size SUV also offers advanced tech, starting with the impressive standard 24-inch panoramic display and the sleek 13.2-inch centerstack display, to keep you informed and connected on the go.

The standard audio system comes with six speakers, but in higher trims, it’s replaced by a B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with 10 speakers, including a subwoofer, or a B&O® Unleashed Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® with 22 speakers, including a subwoofer. An available panoramic Vista Roof makes drives even more enjoyable by letting in extra light and fresh air.

If you want a more rugged adventure, the off-road ready 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor offers features like 33-inch all-terrain tires, Black Raptor®-inspired platform running boards, front skid plates, and Amber Active-painted tow hooks.

The 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E

For drivers who want an all-electric SUV, the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E delivers sharp style and engaging performance. This EV boasts quick acceleration — able to go from 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.3 seconds³ — and impressive range: an EPA-estimated 320 miles.⁴ Horsepower varies by configuration, but you’ll get the most when you opt for the Mustang Mach-E® GT or Mustang Mach-E® Rally trim levels, which both boast 480 horsepower with the extended-range battery and eAWD.
