Why choose the 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid?
The Escape is available with your choice of four engine options, including a thrifty hybrid! Although this 2.5-liter hybrid inline four-cylinder engine isn’t quite as efficient as the Escape’s plug-in hybrid (PHEV), it comes pretty close. Plus, unlike the PHEV, this classic hybrid powertrain never needs to be recharged! There are four Escape trim models available with the optional hybrid, allowing you to decide how much you want to spend on luxury or performance upgrades! And the Escape Hybrid is built to last, something that’s underscored by Ford’s limited warranty, which covers hybrid components for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
How efficient is the 2025 Ford Escape Hybrid?

Whether you’re in the middle of a long commute or an off-road family road trip, you can count on this hybrid to help you save money at the pump!
