EFFICIENCY
Your next SUV should make your day smoother, easier, and quieter. With its advanced drivetrain and on-demand information, the Ford Escape Hybrid has the features needed to maximize every moment behind the wheel.
Efficiency That Goes the Extra Mile
With an already packed calendar, unscheduled pit stops can throw a wrench in your day. Designed to optimize every drop of fuel, the Ford Escape Hybrid keeps you moving forward confidently. A standard 2.5L hybrid engine delivers the ideal balance between fuel efficiency and performance, ensuring efficiency never comes at the cost of fun.

|---|---|---|
| EPA-Estimated Fuel Efficiency | 42 city/36 highway MPG | |
| Net Horsepower | 192 HP | |
| Torque | 155 lb-ft | |
For drivers who crave more, the Escape Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) expands your horizons with up to 210 net horsepower, an EPA-estimated driving range of 101 combined MPGe, and a max electric driving range of up to 37 miles. The result is nonstop fun that helps reduce your carbon footprint.
Hybrid Made Simple
The Ford Escape Hybrid seamlessly adapts to your surroundings from city streets to suburban roads. The standard hybrid system automatically balances electric and gas power, always working to provide the most efficient commute. For PHEV models, you can drive using only electric power for quick, local trips, or your SUV can automatically transition between power sources based on conditions.
No matter how you drive, an optional 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster keeps you in control, showing real-time energy usage and performance insight at a glance.
Standard selectable drive modes help refine every commute. With up to four options, including Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Normal, you can decide how your Escape Hybrid handles. Do you prefer quicker throttle response times, the most efficient ride, or somewhere between? Do you frequent scenic roads that need a little extra grip? No matter your driving style, there’s a selectable mode for you.
CAPABILITY
From everyday errands to weekend getaways, versatility is essential to your lifestyle. The Ford Escape Hybrid adapts to your needs with confidence-inspiring handling and flexible interior space that adapts to your ever-changing needs.
Ready for Whatever Comes
No two days are the same. While some commutes call for quick maneuvers in congested areas, others feel slower and more intentional as you cruise across winding backroads. The available all-wheel drive (AWD) system in the Escape Hybrid delivers the grip needed to feel confident across every mile.
Slippery streets and dirt paths are no match for the Escape Hybrid's AWD capabilities. This intelligent system constantly monitors driving patterns and automatically distributes power to the front and rear axles to prevent wheel slippage. This system can also help with everyday driving, providing extra grip to prevent understeering when tackling a tight curve.
The best part of the Escape Hybrid's AWD system is that it comes with AWD Disconnect. When the system's intuitive sensors indicate optimal driving conditions, the AWD will automatically disengage to help conserve fuel. At the first sign of low grip, the AWD awakens to assist with traction until it is no longer needed.
Room to Move, Space to Live
Space matters, whether it's room for family, pets, or adventure gear. The Ford Escape Hybrid smartly uses its compact size of 180.1 inches long and 85.6 inches wide. Its nimble build allows zippy maneuvers on narrow streets and across rugged terrain. Yet 102.2 cubic feet of passenger space and up to 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space ensure ample room for everyone and everything.

| Shoulder Room (First/Second Row) | 57.6/56 in. | |
| Hip Room (First/Second Row) | 55.2/53.3 in. | |
Ample space is only part of how the Ford Escape Hybrid makes every commute a relaxing experience. The Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control system lets front-seat passengers independently adjust temperature settings to deliver a more tailored experience, while heated front seats help soothe sore muscles to ensure riders feel refreshed.
EXPERIENCE

Energetic toddlers in the backseat, radio commercials, and other vehicles whizzing by are all part of a regular commute.
