Do you want an SUV, but would prefer to go green? West Point Ford is happy to let you know that you don't have to compromise. The 2022 Ford Escape has two hybrid engines to choose from, allowing you to go green and pick the engine that meets your needs.
Our neighbors around West Point, King William, and Williamsburg, Virginia, can learn about the 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid right here. This review tackles the hybrid powertrain options, technology inside and out, and design features that make the Escape a great choice for daily drives.
Ford Escape Hybrid Power
The 2022 Ford Escape has two hybrid options: one you plug in and one you don't. The plug-in option allows you to charge at home or at a charging station. There's no gas involved. The non-plug-in option uses a bit of gas and hybrid technology to extend your fuel economy and keep you on the road longer.
Both hybrids let you tow, too, with a maximum towing capacity of 1,500 pounds when properly equipped.
The 2.5L Plug-In Hybrid engine offers 221 total system horsepower with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT). It also has an EPA-estimated 105 combined MPGe.
The 2.5L Hybrid (non-plug-in) generates 200 total system horsepower with the same eCVT as mentioned before. With this engine, you have the option to choose front-wheel drive (FWD) or Intelligent All-Wheel Drive.
With FWD, you'll get an EPA-estimated:
- 44 city MPG
- 37 highway MPG
- 41 combined MPG
Ford Escape Hybrid Technology Features
The Escape's high-tech features don't end at the powertrains. There is more to help keep you safe and also entertained.
The 2022 Escape has Ford's suite of driver-assisting and safety features called Ford Co-Pilot360™. With it, you can drive confidently, knowing your vehicle has your back if the unexpected happens.
Some features included in the Ford Co-Pilot360™ are:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane-Keeping System
- Rear View Camera
On top of all that, the Escape comes with a standard infotainment system. Using SYNC® 3 technology, you can use your smartphone to stream music, get directions, and make hands-free phone calls.
Your passengers can even stay connected on the go with standard FordPass™ Connect with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. Connect up to 10 devices within 50 feet of your SUV!
Ford Escape Hybrid Designed to Escape
The Ford Escape is made for both style and practicality. Sleek lines and fun color choices let you not only customize your automobile, but also turn heads when you drive.
These color options include:
- Rapid Red
- Velocity Blue
- Agate Black
Cloth seats come standard inside the Escape Hybrid. However, you can upgrade the seating with packages like the SE Sport Appearance Package, which gives your SUV a sporty look inside and out.
If you love the feel of the wind and natural light in your cabin, the available Panoramic Vista Roof® is for you. It not only looks nice, but your passengers can watch the sky in the front and back seats while you drive.
