About the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid
The Ford Escape has always been a popular choice of compact SUV, but the Escape Plug-In Hybrid adds a new dimension that only makes the popular SUV even more likable. The PHEV drivetrain produces an impressive 210 horsepower while simultaneously delivering a staggering combined fuel economy rating of 101 MPGe. The 11.2 kWh battery pack is good for 37 miles of all-electric driving, enough that most buyers would be able to make their daily commute without using any gasoline at all. This is on top of everything you already liked about the Escape. Examples include features like the advanced SYNC® 4 infotainment system which comes with a 13.2-inch touchscreen and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.
What the Critics Say
“The Escape PHEV has a lot to recommend about it. It’s easy to drive, and – despite its compact size – it offers decent room for people and their things. Rear-seat passengers get 40.7 inches of legroom; many luxury cars don’t match that. Cargo space is a generous 34.4 cubic feet with the rear seats in place and 60.8 cubes with them folded. The interior of the Escape PHEV that I drove is nicely designed, with big, clear gauges and a 13.2-inch touch screen that is crisp and easy to read.” – U.S. News & World Report
“The Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is perfect for daily driving around town without using a sip of gasoline. This compact SUV is also quite comfortable, spacious and loaded with modern tech features.” - Edmunds

Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid Features
Unmatched Efficiency
There are two really appealing features of plug-in hybrids – power and efficiency. In impressive fashion, the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid delivers on both. With a combined system rating of 210 horsepower, the PHEV drivetrain delivers more power than either the standard 1.5-liter gasoline engine or the conventional hybrid option. While both of those other options are also quite efficient, they’re no match for the 101 MPGe rating that comes with the Escape Plug-In Hybrid. On top of that, the Escape Plug-In Hybrid is capable of an estimated 37 miles of all-electric driving. All of this makes the Escape Plug-In Hybrid a superior choice for a daily driver, a highly practical vehicle that will seriously cut down on your fuel costs. You can even charge it from a regular 120V outlet with the included Level 1 Mobile Power Cord.
Versatile Practicality
A truly great daily driver needs more than just good fuel economy, even if it is exceptionally good fuel economy. You need to be able to use it for a wide variety of daily tasks, and the ease with which the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid handles whatever you throw at it is why it’s such a popular choice. You’ll find an impressive 34.4 cubic feet of cargo space when you open the power liftgate, and if you fold down the back seats, that increases to 60.8 cubic feet. Up front, you’ll find lots of cubbies and compartments, including dedicated storage for sunglasses, and a total of 8 cupholders. There are four charging ports, as well as an available wireless charging pad, so your other devices can go all day too. The available 360-degree camera with Split View makes maneuvering through parking lots easy. There’s even available Active Park Assist 2.0 so you don’t have to worry about parking at all.
Comfortable Interior
The Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid offers one more thing that makes it great for whatever you need to do – it’s a comfortable place to be. The seats are comfortable, with heated front seats coming standard, and leather upholstery is available to go with it. Dual-zone climate control and a heated steering wheel come standard as well, so maintaining a comfortable temperature is easy. All of these partner with the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, and Speed Sign Recognition to reduce driving fatigue and help you arrive at your destination feeling relaxed and ready to tackle whatever the day holds. The SYNC® 4 infotainment system with a 13.2-inch touchscreen comes standard and makes it easy to see directions while navigating. It’s also great for playing music and the available 10-speaker B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® makes it sound great.
