The Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid Is The Perfect Electrified SUV. For Some.

Pure electric vehicles don\\u2019t work for everyone. The Ford Escape plug-in hybrid does. The concept is simple enough, charge the 14.4 kWH battery and it\\u2019s fully electric for 37 miles. After that it defaults to a regular hybrid with an EPA rated average of 40 MPG. And the Escape PHEV is a useful crossover that does the chores well. Fun to drive too. But if you want all-wheel drive with your plug-in\\u2026.\\xa0 maybe visit a Toyota dealership for a RAV4 Prime or get Escape\\u2019s fancy sister, the Corsair Grand Touring.
Tom Voelk takes a look at a fully loaded Titanium model to find out if it really goes 37 miles on a charge and what the real fuel economy is. \\xa0And while Ford calls the 4thgeneration Escape, I see it as the 3rd gen (the \\u201c2nd generation\\u201d is a heavy mid-cycle refresh IMHO).
