Without the Hybrid badges on the front doors and tailgate, you’d never know this vehicle is a Hybrid. The short answers are: Yes, No, Yes and Maybe. Ford says you can have the power of a V-6, with the fuel economy of a 4-banger – but the big question remains … is it any good? Saving money at the pump is one thing, but if you’re completely bored out of your skull driving the car/truck is it really worth having? Does it make good economic sense or are you thumbing your nose at everyone and saying – “Look at me! I’m a tree hugger!!?” This Hybrid can run on the electric motor up to speeds of 25 mph (40 kms/hr), and can travel more than 450 miles (724 kms) on a single tank of gasoline. In city driving it can save up to 75% of the fuel that the V-6 would normally use. The Escape Hybrid has a number of firsts – it’s the first hybrid to offer four-wheel-drive it’s the first “Full” hybrid, meaning it automatically switches between electric power, gasoline power, or a combination of the two. In its second year, Ford has added more options and refined the Escape Hybrid for 2006. Available since the beginning with a V-6 or a 4-cylinder engine, Ford added a Hybrid to the Escape line up for the 2005 model year. Pricing subject to change without notice.The Ford Escape has been around for a few years now, and although it’s been updated and redesigned, it’s extremely difficult to find the differences – it appears to be pretty much unchanged from its initial launch.
