Ford Escape Hybrid

Ford Escape is the best-selling of all the small, affordable sport-utilities, and it's a solid choice among these so-called cute utes. The Ford Escape offers agile handling, a smooth ride, and comfortable seating for four average Americans. It also offers brisk acceleration when equipped with the optional V6 engine. It's compact but practical. Folding down the rear seats reveals a flat, moderately sized cargo area. Best of all, its prices are relatively low, up only an average of 1 percent over 2004 prices.

For 2005, Ford Escape has a fresh new face, new headlamps, and a brightened interior. The new base 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine is a big improvement over the old 2.0-liter, and it's available with an automatic transmission for the first time, a benefit of its increased power. The 2005 Ford Escape offers a fully automatic four-wheel drive option that operates transparently in the background. The standard manual transmission is new, with lighter shifting efforts and shorter throws. And a revised suspension improves the ride. But the biggest news is that the Ford Escape Hybrid has finally arrived, using a special version of the 2.3-liter gas engine teamed with an electric motor. It's designed to deliver quick response while delivering excellent fuel economy.

Why Buy a Ford Escape Hybrid?

There are many reasons to buy a new Ford Escape hybrid. The number one reason, and the most obvious, is that hybrid cars are good for the environment. Some may call Ford Escape hybrids "green" or "green cars". They have the ability to reduce smog by 90% and use less gas than regular vehicles. Another reason to buy a Ford Escape hybrid is the money it can save you! A new hybrid car can get up to 60 miles per gallon (city), while some SUVs or trucks get 10 to 15 miles per gallon. How much would this save YOU in gas each week? Each month? Ford Escape hybrid owners may also be eligible for tax refunds, just for choosing a hybrid vehicle. There are some basic requirements, which you can learn about here.
