With its advanced plug-in hybrid powertrain, the compact Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid delivers fast acceleration, smooth handling, and impressive all-electric range. Whether cruising through the city or taking a weekend road trip, the Escape PHEV provides a dynamic and eco-friendly ride.
At the heart of the Escape Plug-In Hybrid lies a 2.5-liter I-4 plug-in hybrid engine. This naturally aspirated powerplant features Ford's innovative Atkinson cycle design for maximum efficiency. The gasoline engine works in tandem with an electric motor to generate a total system output of 210 horsepower—more than the base gasoline powertrain and the conventional hybrid model. Expect quick off-the-line acceleration and ample passing power from this advanced PHEV.
Power is delivered to the front wheels through a smooth-shifting eCVT transmission. This electronically-controlled continuously variable transmission optimizes power delivery for both performance and efficiency, while regenerative brakes that help recover energy during deceleration. This recaptured energy can then be used to power the electric motors, extending the SUV's all-electric driving range.
