The 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid represents the fourth generation of Ford's compact SUV. It's an environmentally friendly option, featuring a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine accompanied by an electric motor, delivering a combined 221 horsepower. It comes exclusively in a front-wheel-drive format, paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The Escape Plug-In Hybrid offers four trims: SE, SEL, Titanium, and a new-for-2022 SE Sport Premium. The EPA estimates an all-electric range of 37 miles. Notable tech features include a standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite adds desirable safety features such as automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert. Key changes for the 2022 model year include the introduction of the SE Sport Premium trim and the standardisation of Ford’s Co-Pilot360 safety suite across all trims.
