The Escape Hybrid was the first vehicle to combine SUV capability with the outstanding fuel economy and low environmental impact of a full hybrid vehicle. It has the ability to travel at speeds up to 44 miles per hour in full electric mode and uses no fuel when idling, such as when you’re stopped at a traffic light. The Escape Hybrid delivers an impressive 34 city mpg* when both the gas engine and electric motor are powering the vehicle. In addition, it features comfortable seating for five and a versatile cargo area.
Communication is key to a successful partnership, so get ready to be very happy with the Escape. You can bond over things such as music and phone calls with the available SYNC® voice-activated communications and entertainment system.27 Using simple voice commands, you can also tell the available Navigation System exactly where you want to go. Now consider additional technology options such as active park assist and the rear view camera. It sounds like the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
The Escape is a more perfect form of SUV – one that delivers sporty performance and great fuel economy. The available 240-hp V6 engine allows the Escape to tow up to 3,500 pounds.** And if you’re looking to go farther on a tank of gas, the standard I-4 engine features an impressive EPA-estimated 28 hwy mpg.*** Good form, indeed.
Don't let the "small SUV" category fool you. There’s roomy, comfortable seating for five plus a versatile cargo area with 31.4 cu. ft. (30.9 cu. ft. in the Escape Hybrid) of space behind the rear seats. Need more room? Fold the rear seats down for 67.2 cu. ft. (66.4 in the Escape Hybrid) of total storage space. The roof rack can carry up to 100 lbs. of cargo with the available crossbars. Even the smallest storage needs are accommodated, with a three-tier storage system in the center console that has a hidden level big enough for a laptop or a purse.
