Description:

The Ford Escape PHEV is the plug-in hybrid version of the Ford Escape, a compact SUV with front-wheel drive. It is designed for commuters who want to cover daily trips on electricity and keep hybrid efficiency for longer drives. The cabin is roomy, with a rear seat that slides and reclines. Driving is quiet and comfortable, with smooth transitions between electric and gasoline power. It suits drivers who can charge at home and want an efficient, easy-to-live-with SUV without the need for all-wheel drive.
