At Wood Motor Ford Carthage near Carytown, we welcome you to visit our showroom to learn how a hybrid vehicle can fit into your lifestyle and decrease your fuel expenses.

What’s Under the Hood

In 2021, Ford added a plug-in hybrid model to the lineup. Both hybrid versions have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. Ford pairs the engines with a continuously variable transmission. The Escape Hybrid delivers 200 horsepower, while the Escape SE Plug-In Hybrid delivers 221 horsepower. Both models come with front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive.

The Escape Plug-in Hybrid model has an 11.2-kWh battery to provide up to an EPA-estimated 37 miles of all-electric driving. Charging the EV takes about 3.5 hours with a Level 2 charger. Using a Level 1 charger with a 110-volt outlet takes about 11 hours.

The EPA-estimated fuel economy on the Escape Hybrid is 44/37 MPG. The Escape PHEV has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 105 MPGe or a combined 40 MPG when in hybrid mode after the battery runs down.
