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. Both the Escape and the Escape Hybrid were updated for 2008 with an extensive interior makeover and a more rugged exterior 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.
