The Ford Escape is a versatile compact SUV that offers a range of powertrain options to suit different driving needs. Whether you prioritize fuel efficiency, power, or a balance of both, there's an Escape model for you. Serving Middlebury, VT, and nearby areas, G. Stone Motors can help you compare the gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid versions to find your perfect match.
The Fuel-Efficient Escape Hybrid
If saving money at the pump is a top priority, consider the Ford Escape Hybrid. This model pairs a 2.5-liter I-4 engine with an electric motor to optimize fuel economy. The hybrid system seamlessly switches between gas and electric power or combines them for maximum efficiency. The Escape Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 44 mpg city/37 mpg highway, making it a smart choice for Burlington, VT drivers.
The Eco-Friendly Escape Plug-In Hybrid
For even greater efficiency and the ability to drive on pure electric power, opt for the Escape Plug-In Hybrid. Charge it up at home or stations around Vergennes, VT, and enjoy an EPA-estimated 37 miles of electric range. The charging process is simple and takes about 3.5 hours with a 240V outlet or 10-11 hours with a standard 120V outlet. Once the battery is depleted, the gas engine kicks in for a total range of over 500 miles. This makes the Escape Plug-In Hybrid ideal for those who want to run errands or commute on electric power while still having the flexibility for longer trips.
The Energetic Escape Gas Model
Prefer a traditional gas-powered SUV? The Escape offers two turbocharged EcoBoost engine options. The 1.5-liter puts out 180 horsepower, while the 2.0-liter generates a spirited 250 horsepower. Both provide ample acceleration for merging and passing on Middlebury, VT highways. The EcoBoost engines also offer impressive towing capabilities, with the 2.0-liter able to tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Whichever Escape model you choose, you'll get a stylish SUV with ample cargo space and modern tech features. Browse our extensive new Ford Escape inventory online or visit G. Stone Motors to experience the different powertrain options in person.
