Review: 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid
With the 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid, environmentally aware consumers who wish to carry lots of cargo can have their cake and eat it too. Factor in Toyota-sourced technology, fuel-sipping economy and lower tailpipe emissions, and the Escape Hybrid is a great value even at its high-$20s base price. The Escape Hybrid would bode well for urbanites, where only the electric motor could be used during stop-and-go traffic. And unlike other hybrids, the Escape Hybrid, when equipped with the Intelligent 4WD system, is a capable soft-roader, and can easily tackle a winter full of snow.
