2009 Ford Escape Hybrid

The 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid uses a new 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine designed to run on the Atkinson combustion cycle combined with an electric motor and a new engine processor for smooth transitions between gas and electric mode. A new powertrain damping system reduces vibration and feedback to the occupants. The braking system has been refined for a seamless transition between regenerative braking and standard brake functionality. The Escape Limited Hybrid is added for 2009 and includes 16-inch 6-spoke bright machined aluminum wheels, exterior chrome accents, standard 6-disc CD changer, chrome and ebony interior trim, ambient lighting, heated front seats, front leather seating surfaces, power moonroof, retractable cargo cover and SecuriCode keyless entry.
