Ford Escape Hybrid
|
| If you’re looking to go easy on the environment but need the features of an SUV/Crossover, the hybrid SUV/Crossover segment is the place to look. Winning the inaugural Best Hybrid Value in America™ award is the Ford Escape, despite some tough competition from its sister vehicle the Mercuy Mariner and its crosstown rival, the Chevrolet Tahoe. The strength of the Escape is its “best in segment” fuel economy, along with a lower depreciation cost than any of its hybrid competitors. |
