The 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid is a complete hybrid vehicle—An important point to consider if you are shopping for “green” cars this summer. Keep an eye out for the new models arriving soon at the dealership and we'll keep you posted on the latest developments.The use of the word “green” in this article takes on a double meaning; green for the environment and green as in the color of money, which you’ll save at the gas tank with the Escape Hybrid. By the way, with gas prices very likely to approach $4 per gallon this year, that may be reason enough to go green!
What makes the Ford product different? Unlike GM hybrids, Escape Hybrid is capable of running solely on electric motors at speeds up to 30 mph. In addition, a 70 Kw electric motor produces 155 horsepower in tandem with a 2.3L four-cylinder gas-powered engine. That means the Escape Hybrid delivers performance numbers comparable to a 200-horsepower gasoline V6. The result; a 75% increase in fuel economy for city driving alone.
