Ford Escape Hybrid

The Escape Hybrid is Ford’s hybrid compact 4-door SUV which joined the Ford lineup for 2005. While the Escape Hybrid appears nearly identical to a standard Escape, it is powered by an Atkinson-Cycle 4-cylinder engine combined with an electric motor. For 2008 the Escape and the Escape Hybrid received a total makeover inside and out featuring a more rugged design to bear a stronger family resemblance to the Ford Explorer and Ford Expedition. The software control system was also improved for a better transition between gasoline and electric operation.
