The 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid comes with two engines, as is the wont of hybrids, well, sort of. The electric motor isn't actually an engine, although it puts out 94 horsepower and runs the car all by itself during stop and go traffic and at speeds below 25 miles per hour. The 153 horsepower gasoline engine is a measly four banger, a 2.5 liter one to be exact, but it gets the job done, albeit with noticeable effort at high speeds or during quick accelerations. The obvious pay off? Simply amazing fuel mileage. The front wheel drive model gets 34 miles to the gallon in city driving and 31 miles to the gallon on the highway. Hybrids, unlike conventional cars, actually run completely electric at low speeds and recharge while braking.
Options available on the 2011 Escape include Ford’s SYNC in-car entertainment system, active park assist which can parallel park the car with little driver involvement and MyKey, a programmable key which can set a speed limit on your Escape among other things.
