No-Compromise Hybrid
Low impact, lots of room. Escape Hybrid was the first vehicle to combine SUV capability with the outstanding fuel economy* and low environmental impact of a full hybrid
Regenerative Braking
During braking in the Escape Hybrid, the electric motor captures the energy that would normally be lost and sends it to the battery pack to be stored for later use.
Nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) Battery
The innovative Escape Hybrid nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) battery is completely sealed, securely encased and neatly stored. It's recharged every time you apply the brakes.
Federal Tax Credit
If you meet requirements, you may qualify for a federal income tax credit of up to $3,000 on the purchase of a new Ford Escape Hybrid. That's a credit, not a deduction*.
Reduced Emissions
Escape Hybrid is easy on the Earth, meeting strict Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV II) and Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) standards.
Eco-friendly Seats
A perfect fit: The cloth seat fabric in Escape Hybrid is made from postindustrial material, and the cushions use a bio-based polyurethane foam made from plant seeds.
34 mpg City
Love city life? Escape Hybrid uses no fuel during light acceleration up to 40 mph or when stopped in traffic in pure electric mode.
