The 2021 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is an all-electric commuter with the gas to back it up (literally). The Ford Escape Hybrid fits the description of any PHEVs; it employs its all-electric motor to sustain the vehicle’s propulsion which reduces the amount of gas combustion. The option of heading towards an EV charger for a quick power up for some all-electric mileage never looked cooler than inside the all-new Escape Plug-In Hybrid. Here are several reasons why the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is the perfect Hybrid. 

  • Quicker than Most 

The Escape PHEV contains a gas-electric hybrid system paired with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine plus an electrified continuously variable automatic transmission. The hybrid system renders 220 combined horsepower to the front wheels. The Escape also proffers 155 lb-ft of torque, making the Ford SUV exceptional at bolting. 

  • It’s All About Balance 

Whenever the Escape’s Hybrid system concludes that the engine is no longer essential to cruising on the highway, it will shut off for heightened efficiency. The perfect marriage exists inside the Ford Escape PHEV, with its electric and gas power generating the perfect balance for that everyday commute. 

  • Further Distances at the Push of a Button 

The hybrid SUV maintains a commendable EPA rating of 37 miles electric-only range and 520-miles with a full gas tank. In addition to 105 mpg-equivalent, there’s a 40 mpg combined mpg estimate for gas-only mode. The mileage on the Escape PHEV reigns superior over the Toyota RAV4 Prime and the Hyundai Tucson PHEV. 

  • Quality Cabin 

They don’t make interiors like this for other PHEVs. The Ford Escape Hybrid resembles its twin brother, the Ford Escape, and it’s the perfect bridge to an electrified future. The Escape delivers a high-quality fit and finish. Additionally, there are physical buttons and knobs instead of the touch-sensitive screen, but who wants to take their eyes off the road with an excellent feature like the next one. 

  • Beautiful Front Windshield 

Nothing is ever obscure from view; thanks to the transparent front windshield, it’s very easy to see through with its low beltline and spacious greenhouse. 

  • Capacity is Never Full 

Although the Ford SUV bolts to life like a car, the SUV aspect comes to life in storage. The Ford PHEV renders over 34 cubic feet of cargo space in the rear. In addition to the rear space, there’s also 61 cubic feet of max cargo space. 

  • The Price is Right 

Any plug-in hybrid powertrain will cost a pretty penny but the Automaker of the Year keeps the playing field pretty leveled. The 2021 Ford Escape PHEV SE (base trim) premiers at $33,075* (excluding destination fees).
