New for 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid

The Escape Hybrid is added for 2005 with a gas-electric hybrid drive system, a high-tech electronically-controlled Continuously Variable Transmission, and either front-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive. A vent built into the left rear window which directs fresh air into the battery pack.

Introduction

The Escape is Ford’s compact 4-door SUV that joined the Ford lineup for 2001. The Escape Hybrid is added for 2005 and while it appears nearly identical to a standard Escape, it is powered by an Atkinson-Cycle 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine combined with a 50-kilowatt electric motor. The estimated combined power output for the electric motor and gasoline engine is 155 horsepower.
