Ford Escape PHEV Review
The 2025 Ford Escape PHEV keeps improving as a hybrid SUV segment leader, blending technology, comfort, and intelligent design into a smooth, cost-effective package.
As soon as you get in, you’ll sense the spacious cabin. Regardless of where you’re headed, you’ll get there in style with the rotary gear shift dial, ambient interior illumination, and extensive optional trim upgrades that make for a category-defining hybrid SUV that prioritizes aesthetics.
And at the heart of the front console, you’ll find SYNC® 4, with a huge 13.2″ LCD touchscreen. It has voice-activated navigation, over-the-air updates, and wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ connectivity. Call in your phone, map your route, and stream your favourite playlists without ever having to plug in.
Safety is also at the forefront with Ford Co-Pilot360™, an entire package of driver-assistance features. This comprises Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Brake, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, and Post-Collision Brake as standard equipment.
For added reassurance, further optional add-ons include Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Evasive Steering Assist, and Speed Sign Recognition. Backed by the Escape lineup’s strong safety ratings, these features help provide confidence and protection on every drive—whether navigating tight city streets or heading out on the highway.
Ford Escape PHEV Range
One of the Escape PHEV‘s most attractive features is its impressive electric-only range—60 km on a full charge. That’s enough for most Vernon drivers to power their weekday drives on electricity alone. The intelligent hybrid system then takes over quietly when the battery is depleted, offering long range without concern for those who wish to experience electric driving without compromising convenience.
Ford Escape Plug In Hybrid
Plug-in hybrids like the Escape provide the best of two worlds: battery-driven fuel efficiency and gas-driven versatility. The 2025 model is especially alluring with its spaciousness, smooth handling, and advanced tech upgrades. With charging on a conventional home outlet, you can charge anywhere without requiring costly charger installs.
Features to Look for in a Hybrid SUV
Essentials for hybrid SUV shopping include electric range, fuel efficiency, charge time, and flexibility. The Escape PHEV checks all those boxes—and adds more—with selectable drive modes like Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and EV Now, giving drivers tailored control no matter what the weather (or the road) throws their way.
2025 Escape Plug-In Hybrid New Features
The 2025 Escape PHEV features new front-end styling, more modern LED lighting, and improved software integration. Ford also made the hybrid system more responsive, smoothing the transition from electric to gasoline power.
New driver assist technology, enhanced regenerative braking, and wireless smartphone charging cap off the changes, making it the most convenient Escape ever.
