I got a new 21 escape hybrid awd a few months ago, and man I love it. Mpgs are freaking awesome, in fact in eco mode im pulling higher than what was advertised, and I live PA lots of hills not just driving around a flat area. Ford knocked it out if the park as far as Im concerned. Never expected an american car to be so efficient, with awd nonetheless. On average im pulling 48 mpg, and ive got as high as 64 (20 miles trip thru the hills). Super happy, especially with fuel prices what they are now.

This is a contender for me. Cheaper than the Rav4 Hybrid and, after a test drive of both, a tad more enjoyable to drive. Same resale value? Definitely not. But this is a good appliance to me: fuel sipping, fine AWD system (not the best, but still), quite a lot of room inside, an impressive transmission that does what you're expecting it to do...

It checks a lot of boxes.

Even if I were a billionaire I would have a Ford Escape for getting around town.

Loved driving the Rav 4 I had but just bought this car today im having a good time with it. Compact SUVS are so fire

Thanks Ben, I been looking at different hybrid and the Ford Escape was at the top of my list, you just confirmed my opinion.

Went to the dealership yesterday to finalize the paperwork for this SUV. MSRP was $33, 000, however after the dealer got involved, ended up trying to make me pay $41, 000. I love this car, but Ford is killing itself with this.

Personal CS was 700 before the hard inquirery. 4 years plus of credit history with 3 credit lines, but they gave me the ultimatum of $41, 000 total, $730 monthly, at 14%. Obviously had to walk away from that ridiculousness. Was going for $0 down, but could put down a decent chunk for sure.

I really like the car, and I like the way it’s going! My biggest things are not feeling the road and getting good mpg, both of which this car excels at!

Ford escape is a cool SUV love the interior

Very helpful and detailed review of the Escape Hybrid -- thank you so much!

I like the car but warning to 2020 model year, Ford does not do a good job of supporting this vehicle. I have experienced a common problem with battery software module. Dead 12V battery 3 out of 7 days. Car is now in the shop (3 weeks tomorrow!) and still waiting on repair while Ford claims this is "very unusual problem."

I like the new 2022 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid 👍

[MJorgy]

I wish Ford would tone down the trim level requirement on the '23's. I like a cloth interior. Is this a cloth and heated front row?

Where do you live? The mountains are beautiful!

[michaelmckenna]

Did you mention the adaptive Cruise feature / Lane Assist or does this specific model not have the feature? How about Apple Car Play/Synch 4, BLIS / 360 / mentioned those features with :10 seconds left in your review.

is the ford maverick hybrid the same in the Ford Escape hybrid?

[brockallstate]

I think this 2022 comes with a $7500 non refundable tax credit.
My question is. If I live in an apartment and can only charge 3x per week and work and stations then can I still drive with gas only? Or will it not go if the charge in batteries dies?

2022 Ford Escape SE Sport Hybrid All Wheel Drive AWD!

[skylerthompson]

So how does it work with the electric miles that it gains when it charges itself? Can the car run off of just those without gas?

[Peachness]

Would a 6'6 person be able to drive comfortably in a ford escape hybrid?

[stevenhaffley]

You'll find out in 10 years when ford forgets how to repair it. Research the 2007 series of ford escape hybrids, and how ford tattoos vin numbers on brake parts so that they can charge you $5000 at the dealership to replace them. I have one right now that is in perfect mechanical condition, great engine, great CVT, but tomorrow it goes to the junk yard because between 3 HCU's and 4 ford dealerships, not a single ford dealership within a 100 mile radius can bleed the brakes on a 1st gen ford escape hybrid. Fords are absolute junk, and you will find this out if you keep the car for a few years.

Man, you are talking too fast. Thats why I am not going to buy For Escape! Sorry!!!
