Ford Escape Hybrid

The 2005 Escape hybrid was the first commercially available Hybrid SUV, and has been shown to be the most fuel efficient SUV be many independent studies.

For more on the fuel economy of the Escape hybrid, check out our Escape hybrid testimonials.

Recently, Ford began selling the 2008 Ford Escape hybrid at many dealerships, and the new Ford hybrid has been selling as fast as Ford can make them. At many dealerships, waiting lists exist. 

Still, you can order a new Escape hybrid, but expect at least 6 weeks for delivery.

Combining two electric motors - one to drive the wheels and one to turn over the gasoline engine - with the standard Escape 2.3-liter four-cylinder gas engine, the Escape Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) is achieves almost 35 mpg and performs as well as the 200-hp V-6 version.

If you are serious about fuel economy, but you absolutely have to have a hybrid SUV, then the Ford Escape hybrid is best hybrid for you.
