Does the 2018 Ford Escape have push button start?

No, the 2018 Ford Escape doesnt have a built-in push button by default across all of its models, irrespective of trim or size. On some premium models, Ford does offer the option to upgrade and install a push button. Push buttons make it easy and convenient to start Your car, when compared to the traditional key turn method. However, it comes with its own set of potential problems too. For instance, if Your key fob battery is weak or dies out, You might be unable to start the car using the push start button. Replacing Your key with a fresh battery should resolve that, if You ever find Yourself in that scenario.
