The 2023 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is a member of Escape's fourth generation. This compact SUV is powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that together deliver 221 horsepower, coupled with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT). It features an advanced front-wheel drivetrain and boasts an impressive, EPA-estimated electric-only range of more than 30 miles before shifting to traditional hybrid operation. The Escape Plug-In Hybrid is offered in three trims: SE, SEL, and Titanium. Standard infotainment features include a 8" touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Ford's intuitive SYNC 3 system. Significant safety amenities include Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite, which provides lane keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, blind spot monitoring, and more. The 2023 updates are not substantial but uphold the Escape's reputation as a practical, fuel-efficient crossover with user-friendly technology and ample cargo space.
