2011 Escape Hybrid
The Ultimate High-Performance, Low-Impact SUV
Escape Hybrid was the first vehicle to combine SUV capability with the outstanding fuel economy and low environmental impact of a full hybrid vehicle. The Hybrid has the ability to travel at speeds up to 44 miles per hour, while in full electric mode, yet uses no fuel when you're stopped in traffic. The Hybrid delivers an impressive 34 city mpg* when the engine kicks in, for lively acceleration. In addition, it features comfortable seating for five, a versatile cargo area, and a number of standard and optional amenities. What’s not to love?
No-Compromise Hybrid
Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid. It can start off from a complete stop and can accelerate up to 44 mph on electricity alone, during light acceleration. No fuel used. And even when the gasoline engine kicks in, it maintains an outstanding 34 city mpg fuel economy in stop-and-go driving situations.* Yet the driving experience is virtually identical to a conventional SUV. Escape Hybrid provides comfortable seating for up to five, a versatile cargo area and a variety of standard and optional amenities. You can even add an available Intelligent 4WD System for enhanced traction whether the road is covered with gravel or ice or soaked by rain.
34 MPG City
Love the city life? When running in pure electric mode, Escape Hybrid can start off from a complete stop and, during light acceleration, can go up to 44 mph on electricity alone. No fuel used. And even when the 2.5L Atkinson-cycle I4 gasoline engine kicks in, it maintains an outstanding 34 city mpg fuel economy in stop-and-go driving situations.
Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) Battery
The innovative Escape Hybrid nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) battery is completely sealed and securely encased, and stored neatly under the flat rear cargo area load floor. What's more, the Regenerative Braking System recharges the NiMH battery each time you apply the brakes. A unique Hybrid component, it's covered under the 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty in non-California emissions states and under the 10-year/150,000-mile limited Hybrid battery warranty in certain other green-conscious states. See your dealer for details.
Flex-Fuel Engine
The available 240-horsepower 3.0L Duratec® V6 engine for Escape is a flex-fuel-capable engine. A flex-fuel engine is designed to operate on standard unleaded gasoline or E85 alternative fuel. Such flexibility allows the vehicle owner to choose E85 fuel, which is a combination of 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent conventional gasoline, wherever it's available for purchase.
Eco-Friendly Seats
The standard innovative Earth-friendly cloth seat fabric in Escape XLT and Escape Hybrid is made from 100 percent post-industrial materials — polyester fibers that would have ended up in landfills otherwise. Furthermore, the cushions use a bio-based polyurethane foam derived from the oils of various plant seeds such as soybeans. More than simply "green," the durable, comfortable and stylish nature of the material also makes it a perfect fit for Escape.
