2011 Ford Escape Hybrid

The 2011 Ford Escape Hybrid is a compact SUV that efficiently integrates a 2.5-liter inline-4 gasoline engine with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 177 horsepower. It utilizes a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and offers both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. The FWD model is particularly notable for its fuel efficiency, achieving an EPA-estimated 34 MPG in the city, 31 MPG on the highway, and 32 MPG combined. Safety features include antilock brakes, stability control, and an array of airbags, along with the MyKey system for parental controls. Interior technology features Ford’s Sync system for voice-controlled access to entertainment and navigation. Available in base and Limited trims, the Limited variant adds enhancements such as leather seating and heated front seats. The braking system, which consists of front disc and rear drum brakes, received feedback for being less effective compared to competitors with four-wheel disc brakes.
