There is a reason US News & World Report ranked the 2021 Ford Escape the #1 in Hybrid and Electric SUVs and ranked it as a finalist for the 2021 Best Hybrid and Electric SUV for Families Award.
You’ll find all the interior comforts and cargo room, fun features, and innovative safety features that Ford’s known for - plus the mileage and savings you’d hope for in a hybrid - with our Hybrid Escape.
Key Features
The 2.5L I-4 Atkinson-cycle powertrain features an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT) and an 88 kW electric motor. You’ll be pleased with the extra space this vehicle has, because its liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery is stored outside the car below the floor of the second-row seats. This opens the cargo area for all those things you cannot leave behind!
In the all-new Escape Hybrid, the briefcase-sized battery measures less than one-third of the old battery’s size and is a standard feature on all Escape Hybrid and plug-in hybrid models.
With an EPA est. MPG of 44 city/37 highway, you’ll be saving both time and money at every turn. That’s a convenience that cannot be denied. However, the Ford Escape SE Sport Hybrid does not compromise capability for economy. Available All-Wheel Drive Disconnect is designed to save fuel. When the system determines that AWD isn’t needed, it disconnects, reducing drag and the drivetrain’s overall energy demands.
When the terrain becomes a challenge, you have the tools at your fingertips to meet it head-on with Selectable Drive Modes. Stay in control when it’s most important by choosing between Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand to modify the electronic stability control system and traction control system to give you the best handling for any situation.
The most important thing about this vehicle is that it helps you escape! Go where you want to go when you want to get there, and take all the things you’ll need. When properly equipped the Hybrid SE Sport can tow up to 1500lbs, making that weekend getaway just that much more appealing.

Interior
Ford engineered this spacious cabin for life on the go. It’s been redesigned to make travel more comfortable. You’ll notice right away that the rotary gear shift dial opens up the console and allows for more convenient access.
The 60/40 split-fold seats with the new easy-sliding feature mean that now you have best-in-class second-row legroom and plenty of space in the cargo area for those key finds that can’t be left behind.
Need a little glamour? Take a look at the Panoramic Vista Roof. Large enough so that all passengers can enjoy a beautiful starry view or get their own dose of Vitamin D, this Vista Roof packs a serious luxury punch.
Safety Features
At Ford, your safety is priority number one. Our team has developed some of the most innovative safety features on the road today in our driver-assist suite, Ford Co-Pilot360. Many of the elements within this suite are standard, but be sure to ask a representative about the specifics of the model in which you’re most interested. Some of those features include:
Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert. If a vehicle enters your blind spot, our system notifies you with a small light in the corresponding side-view mirror. It’s that simple and that convenient.
Cross-Traffic Alert monitors traffic when you are in reverse and alerts you if it’s unsafe. This system is a must-have that’s especially helpful in crowded parking lots.
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. If the system determines that you’re going too fast for the traffic ahead of you, it alerts you to slow down. If you don’t slow down in time, Automatic Emergency Braking is activated to help mitigate frontal collision damage.
