The 2025 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid represents the fourth generation of the Ford Escape lineage. This FWD SUV is propelled by a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle inline-4 hybrid engine matched to a continuously variable automatic (CVT) transmission, delivering a combined 221 horsepower. The vehicle is available in three trims: SE, SEL, and Titanium. Key safety features include Ford Co-Pilot360, sporting advanced technology like pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, blind spot information system, auto high-beam headlamps, and others. The infotainment system features an 8" touchscreen, SYNC 3 (with optional 12.3" digital product display), Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Notably, the 2025 model year brings a new level of electric efficiency, with an increased electric-only range compared to previous models. An enhanced 'EV Charge Mode' allows drivers to charge the vehicle's battery while driving to store electric power for future use.
