The return of the Ford Escape Hybrid is a welcomed sight at Benna Ford. The Escape was the first hybrid small SUV. For 2020, the hybrid system returns giving you the option of not only saving fuel but driving with lower emissions for a cleaner environment around the Twin Ports.

And, now, the Escape Hybrid has returned as the fuel economy leader among small SUVs.

The EPA has estimated the Escape Hybrid’s fuel economy ratings as 44 MPG in the city, 37 MPG on the highway, and 41 MPG combined. These figures are greater than any of the newest small hybrid SUVs on the market.

Also, the 2020 Escape Hybrid has a maximum range of 582 miles. You can drive from Superior to Chicago with a quarter tank left.

The new Ford Escape Hybrid is also designed to help you achieve better results while you’re driving. It is now equipped with an EV coach, giving you feedback on your braking while sending energy back to the battery. You get a message in the instrumentation screen telling you how much energy you recovered after making a stop. The Eco mode has been enhanced to work with both the gasoline engine, electric motor, and the new continuously variable transmission to make the driving experience more efficient over the miles.

The Escape Hybrid is also efficiently designed. Most hybrids have their battery located to eliminate precious passenger and cargo space. The liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack is positioned below the second row seats to allow for maximum space for everyone – and everything.

If the 2020 Escape Hybrid is your solution to save money on fuel and to contribute to cleaning up the air in the Twin Ports area, come to Benna Ford and test drive one today!
