The Ford Escape is excellent for Trenton-area drivers seeking a versatile, nicely equipped crossover with city-friendly maneuverability. It offers comfortable accommodations, a roomy cargo area, and many desirable amenities, including standard Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver aids. The Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid delivers even more practicality thanks to its strong fuel economy ratings and electric-only capability. Here's a quick look at what the Escape PHEV has to offer.
Performance, Range, and Charging
The Ford Escape PHEV is propelled by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, producing a combined 210 horsepower. The hybrid powertrain helps the Escape PHEV achieve an EPA-estimated 40 mpg on gas alone. However, the estimated efficiency rises to ~101 MPGe (miles-per-gallon equivalent) on a full charge. With an estimated 37 miles of electric-only range from the 14.4-kWh battery, the Escape PHEV is an excellent choice for Ewing drivers who want the EV experience but are unsure about switching to 100% battery power.
The Ford Escape PHEV can recharge its battery in ~3.3 hours with Level 2 (220-volt) equipment. However, you don't necessarily need to install a special home-charging setup to enjoy electric driving. The Escape PHEV can replenish its battery overnight in ~10 – 11 hours using a regular 3-pin, 120-volt household-style outlet.
Accommodations
The Ford Escape PHEV's cabin is a nice place to spend time, with a stylish, modern design, cozy, supportive seats, and ample room for passengers in both rows. It also offers standard amenities like heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, a heated steering wheel, and a power liftgate. The cargo area measures 34.4 cubic feet behind the second row, expandable to 60.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
Technology
The Ford Escape PHEV's standard 13.2-inch touchscreen includes the latest Ford SYNC® 4 infotainment system and Connected Built-in Navigation. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work wirelessly, providing cord-free connectivity to smartphone features like hands-free communications, streaming media, your virtual assistant, Google or Apple Maps, and more.
