Inside, the Hybrid looks and feels much like other Escape models. With its low step-in height, getting into the Escape requires neither a running start nor a trampoline.

The Hybrid can be outfitted to tow a maximum of 1,000 lb. – enough for a utility trailer or a small boat. Those who are suspicious of modern technology will appreciate the fact that the Escape Hybrid’s standard, 3/36 bumper-to-bumper warranty is expanded to cover hybrid specific components for 8 yrs/100k (10 years, in emissions states). And, every Ford dealership that sells the hybrid is required by Ford to send at least one of its service technicians to a special, two day training session, to learn the ins and outs of the new model.
Like the conventional Escape, Escape Hybrid is available in either front wheel drive or available all wheel drive. The 4WD system is fully automatic, requiring no input from the driver. Operating in front wheel drive under normal conditions, sensors in each wheel detect slip, and channel power rearward as necessary to maintain your grip
