The Ford Escape is one of the most popular compact SUVs on the market, and it’s now available in both hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions. But what exactly are the differences between the Ford Escape Hybrid and the Escape Plug-In Hybrid? Let’s take a closer look at the key features and performance of each model.
Hybrid Powertrain and Fuel Efficiency
Both the Escape Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid are powered by a 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-Cycle I-4 engine combined with an electric motor. The hybrid version gets an EPA-estimated 44 miles per gallon on city roads and 37 miles per gallon on the highway, making it one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs in its class. Drivers in Puyallup looking for an eco-friendly SUV will appreciate the excellent gas mileage of the Escape Hybrid.
The Plug-In Hybrid takes efficiency a step further with the ability to drive on electric power alone. When fully charged, it has an EPA-estimated all-electric range of 37 miles. After the all-electric range is used, the Plug-In Hybrid operates just like the standard Escape Hybrid. With regular charging, Puyallup drivers can do most of their daily commuting without using any gas.
Interior Features and Technology
Inside the cabin, the Escape Hybrid and Plug-In Hybrid both offer seating for five and generous cargo space. Both models come standard with the SYNC 3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, FordPass Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot, and Ford Co-Pilot360 safety features like Pre-Collision Assist and Lane-Keeping System.
