Shop the New Escape Near Lancaster
The 2026 Ford Escape gives shoppers four different ways to power an SUV- a 2.5L hybrid rated at 42 city, 36 highway, and 39 combined MPG, a plug-in hybrid with a 37-mile EPA-estimated all-electric range and 101 combined MPGe, a 1.5L EcoBoost, and a 250-horsepower 2.0L EcoBoost for drivers who want more muscle. Anyone searching for a Ford Escape near Lancaster will find every one of these powertrains paired with SYNC 4 technology and Ford Co-Pilot360 driver assist features in a five-passenger SUV sized for daily errands and longer trips.
What the New Escape Brings to the Table
The Escape's cabin holds up to 65.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo space on EcoBoost models and 60.8 cubic feet on hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, with a sliding second row that folds 60/40 for longer items. Standard SYNC 4 runs on an 8-inch touchscreen, while upper trims offer a 13.2-inch display with connected navigation, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology is standard on most trims and adds adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking to the safety equipment.

Built for the Way Harrisburg Drivers Actually Drive
The Escape's AWD Disconnect system sends power to the front wheels when all-wheel drive isn't needed, which matters for drivers splitting time between Lancaster city streets and the longer stretches out toward Harrisburg. The plug-in hybrid's 37 miles of electric range covers most commutes into York without touching the gas engine, while the standard hybrid's 39 combined MPG rating suits drivers who put highway miles on their SUV every week. Families packing for weekend trips still get up to 65.4 cubic feet of space with the second row folded down.
What Sets Hondru Auto Group Apart for Escape Shoppers
Hondru Auto Group has been family-owned since Peter Hondru founded the group in 1981, and that history shows up in details like the Hondru Collision Center, which handles body repair in-house rather than sending customers elsewhere. The group's 2025 Dealer of Excellence certification recognizes customer satisfaction across all four rooftops, and Escape shoppers can review the Ford CPO program before deciding between new Ford inventory and a certified pre-owned model. Buyers weighing a lease can also review Hondru's leasing resources before settling on a plan that fits their budget.
