Ford Escape Hybrid

Escape Hybrid is the first hybrid vehicle to offer four-wheel-drive and towing capability of up to 1,000 pounds when properly equipped.

The Escape Hybrid automatically switches between pure electric power, pure gasoline engine power or combined operation to maximize efficiency and performance.

Full hybrids achieve their greatest improvement in fuel economy during stop- and -go driving, when the electric motor is most efficient. In fact, the Escape Hybrid provides approximately 80 percent better fuel economy in city driving than the conventional V6 Escape.

The Escape’s hybrid powertrain system consists of a special 2.3-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine features Atkinson-cycle combustion for improved efficiency that produces 133 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, combined with a 70-kWatt (equivalent to 93 horsepower) electric traction motor that provides an added boost to the drive wheels when maximum acceleration is desired.
