Performance & Safety Features In The 2024 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid
The Fuel-Efficient, Comfortable, And Roomy Ford Escape PHEV
For many years, the Ford Escape has been one of Ford’s most dependable and popular models. The compact SUV continues to deliver fuel-efficient daily driving thanks to several powertrain options. As more drivers want electrification, models like the Ford Escape PHEV continue to draw drivers who aren’t ready to shift to a fully electric vehicle. This attractive SUV is available at Way Scarff Ford, conveniently located between Seattle and Tacoma near Federal Way.
What Drives The Escape PHEV
The 2024 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors. The Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid range is about 37 miles thanks to the 10.7-kWh battery pack. The configuration delivers 210 horsepower, and the hybrid version has 192 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid and hybrid models have a continuously variable automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles provide dedicated all-electric driving, while mild-hybrid SUVs do not. When the battery is charged, drivers can enjoy a quiet ride using only the battery pack and the two electric motors. The battery will never be fully exhausted, but once it reaches 1%, the gas engine activates and the battery pack provides assistance. Charging the PHEV takes about 3.5 hours with a Level 2 charging station.
The EPA-estimated fuel economy for the Escape PHEV is 44 MPG in the city and 40 MPH on the highway. When in all-electric mode, the EPA-estimated fuel rating is 84 MPGe.
