Escape Hybrid

With so many options in going green today, there is no compromise in the Ford Escape Hybrid!  The 4 wheel drive Escape is a full hybrid, capable of running completely on electric power up to 25 mph.  As your speed increases, the 2.3 four cylinder gas engine kicks in to take over.  The fuel efficiency estimates are 34 city/30 highway! This is a shocking amount compared to the standard Escape. 

The Ford Escape Hybrid assures the driver with a quiet smooth ride, comfortable interior, upscale features such as navigation, satellite radio, split folding seats, and cloth or leather seats and to top it off excellent ratings!  JD Power and Associates rates the Ford Escape Hybrid with a 10.0 (excellent) in reliability.  The Institute of Highway Safety gives the Ford Escape Hybrid a 9.9 in Safety with the stability control system!  The Ford Escape Hybrid is the new reality in innovative hybrids, perfect for the stop and go of the busy streets of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

There are dramatic changes in the power train improvements, the 2009 Escape pumps out more-than-adequate acceleration from either engine. In fact, Ward’s Automotive Group named the 2.5-liter power plant as one of its 10 Best Engines for 2009. According to the EPA, the FWD Escape should net 22/28 mpg city/highway with the manual transmission, while models with an automatic should net 20/28 with the four-cylinder engine and 18/26 with the V6. AWD models net 19/25 with the four-cylinder engine and 17/24 with the V6.
