Additional Description: The Ford Escape is America's best-selling compact sport-utility. And it's a good choice. The Escape offers comfortable seating for four and plenty of space for stuff. Folding down the rear seats reveals a moderately sized cargo area with a flat floor. Its smooth ride and agile handling make for enjoyable driving and its compact dimensions make it easy to maneuver and park when you get there. Propulsion comes in several forms including a 200-horsepower V6. It's quick and enjoyable and communicates very well with the automatic. The Escape is also available with a gas/electric hybrid system. The Escape Hybrid is one of the cleanest most fuel-efficient vehicles in its class (see separate review) and driving one is easy and enjoyable very little different from a regular Escape.But the standard four-cylinder engine may be all you need. It was updated beginning with 2005 models and it offers decent power and works well with the automatic.Four-wheel drive is also available offering good wintry weather capability.The Escape lineup has been broadened for 2006 but is otherwise unchanged. It was significantly revised for 2005 which brought a new face a brightened interior a new 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a revised suspension. The Ford Escape became even more popular last year with a hybrid version that won the 2005 North American Truck of the Year award.The first thing you should know about the Escape Hybrid is that for the most part it drives just like a regular Escape. It demands little if any additional effort or knowledge from the driver. That's impressive considering its complexity. In short the Ford Escape Hybrid is a superb vehicle smooth responsive comfortable and convenient.Hybrid vehicles are powered by the combination of a gasoline engine with an electric motor. By combining a four-cylinder gasoline engine with the boost from the electric power pack the Ford Escape Hybrid provides acceleration much like a V6-powered Escape but the Hybrid is estimated by the EPA to deliver twice the fuel economy in city driving and nearly double on the highway. Plus its emissions are much lower.Many people are pleasantly surprised to learn that hybrid vehicles such as the Escape never have to be plugged into any sort of electrical outlet. The vehicle's specially designed battery pack is automatically recharged by the gasoline engine and by regenerative braking technology that takes the otherwise wasted energy generated by braking and sends it to the battery pack.ABS Brakes,Air Conditioning,Alloy Wheels,AM/FM Radio,Automatic Headlights,CD Changer,CD Player,Child Safety Door Locks,Cruise Control,Deep Tinted Glass,Driver Airbag,Driver Multi-Adjustable Power Seat,Electronic Brake Assistance,Fog Lights,Front Air Dam,Front Side Airbag,Interval Wipers,Keyless Entry,Load Bearing Exterior Rack,Passenger Airbag,Power Adjustable Exterior Mirror,Power Door Locks,Power Windows,Rear Spoiler,Rear Window Defogger,Rear Wiper,Run Flat Tires,Second Row Folding Seat,Side Head Curtain Airbag,Steel Wheels,Steering Wheel Mounted Controls,Tachometer,Telematics System,Telescopic Steering Column,Tilt Steering,Tilt Steering Column,Tire Pressure Monitor,Traction Control,Trip Computer,Vehicle Anti-Theft,Vehicle Stability Control System
