What’s so special about the 2025 Ford Escape PHEV?
The Escape PHEV trim model is unique, thanks to its exclusive plug-in hybrid powertrain. In addition helping you save at the pump with the Escape’s best EPA ratings, the PHEV also gives you a short, all-electric driving range! Plus, this compact crossover is handsomely equipped with comfort and convenience features, providing an exclusive combination of modern efficiency and everyday luxury.
How efficient is the 2025 Ford Escape PHEV?
The PHEV is the Escape’s most efficient option, earning 40 mpg combined in hybrid mode or 105 MPGe when you factor in its 37-mile electric range! After you exhaust that electric range, the Escape PHEV switches into hybrid mode.
The PHEV powertrain combines a gas-powered engine with a battery-powered motor, the latter of which needs to be recharged. Unlike with an EV, though, you don’t need to worry when that battery runs out of juice, because your Escape PHEV can run using only its four-cylinder internal combustion engine.
The 2024 Escape PHEV powertrain specs include:
- 2.5L plug-in hybrid inline four-cylinder engine (210 horsepower, 155 lb-ft of torque)
- Continuously variable transmission
- Front-wheel drive
Is the 2025 Ford Escape PHEV comfortable?
Yes! Just like other Escape trim models, the PHEV offers a roomy cabin that provides supportive seating for up to five people. Both rows of seating offer generous cushioning, making even long trips feel comfortable. The cargo hold is also very spacious, with 34.4 cubic feet for your family’s sporting goods, school supplies, and weekend bags.
The Escape PHEV is also more handsomely equipped than most Escape trim models! The cabin features unique styling, with vinyl-and-cloth upholstery. Among its many upscale comfort features, you’ll find heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Plus, this thrifty crossover keeps you connected to the world at large with built-in navigation and wireless smartphone connectivity. The standard safety setup is very impressive, helping you avoid trouble with high-tech features like Evasive Steering Assist and Lane Centering.
