One look at Escape and you know you've found something special. From distinctive external accents to its wide, bold stance, Escape's design speaks to its active capabilities.
SUV Lineage
Escape offers styling that clearly says SUV, with the benefits of crossover construction. Its bold, rugged exterior design bears a strong family resemblance to the Explorer and Expedition. Key design elements include:
- Raised beltline for a strong profile and modern proportion of sheet metal to glass
- Sculpted surfaces for a more Ford Tough Truck appearance
- Blacked-out B-pillars, integrated running boards, and available 17" wheels
- Raised hood with a unique "reverse crease" design that draws the eye to the detailed surface
Interior
No matter how harsh the weather is outside, always be comfortable in Escape's refined, ergonomic interior including its elegant design, premium materials, and impressive accents. And thanks to the acoustic-laminate windshield and other refinements, Escape is 15 percent quieter inside at highway speeds versus previous generations.
World's First Full-Hybrid SUV
As earth's first full-hybrid SUV, Escape Hybrid offers something no one else can: true SUV capability and outstanding fuel efficiency. And it produces near-zero tailpipe emissions* which helps keep our air cleaner, too.
The 2.5L 4-cylinder Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine is standard and makes the most out of every drop of gas and gives you all the power you need. The engine works with the electric traction motor to create 177 net hp—14 percent more than the previous powertrain. When you apply the brakes, the electric traction motor captures the kinetic energy that's created through a process called regenerative braking and uses it to recharge the battery pack. The 330-volt battery pack completes the circle by supplying energy to start the engine, to drive at low speeds, and to boost acceleration.
Plus, Escape saves fuel by shutting off the gas engine when stopped and by running in whisper-quiet electric mode whenever possible.
But don't be fooled: when you step on the accelerator looking for some additional get-up-and-go, hybrid drive mode will engage its electric traction motor to give the gas engine an extra boost. The result? Lively V6-like acceleration performance with lower average fuel consumption.
