2023 Ford Escape Hybrid Review | Plug In EV Explained
The 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid (HEV) is back and better than ever. For one thing, the whole thing has been made over with a new look and more technology than ever. For another, there’s an even smarter EV version, the 2023 Ford Escape Plug-in (PHEV).
The whole goal at Ford has been to make its most fuel efficient SUVs into ones that the public actually wants to drive. This has resulted in a sporty new look with universal appeal. Inside there are more tech toys, an enhanced layout, and true comfort.
Hybrid Performance and Range
All new for 2023, an advanced 2.5L Hybrid powertrain combines an Atkinson-Cycle four cylinder engine with two motor-generators. Output is 200 horsepower. Instead of the 8-speed automatic, a hybrid planetary CVT isn’t limited by a set number of gears.
Escape Hybrids are rated for 550 miles, according to EPA estimates. In comparison, gas-powered Escapes can go for about 400 miles before a fill-up.
Plug In Hybrid Electric Performance and Range
Plug-in hybrid Escape models generate 210 horsepower. Auto EV, EV Now, and EV Later modes are unique, and they will be useful to drivers who want to maximize their electric power. Hybrid and PHEV can tow up to 1,500 pounds.
The PHEV is expected to go about 37 miles with only electricity. This covers the average commute and then some. It slowly recharges its own battery, too, using brake regeneration and other hybrid tech. When it does need a charge, it only takes 3.5 hours via a 240-volt level 2 charger. Here’s how its smart driving modes work:
-
Auto EV -- SUV chooses electric or gas power depending on conditions, such as speed.
-
EV Now -- Driver chooses electric-only driving.
-
EV Later -- Driver utilizes full gas power, saving electric miles until a better time.
-
EV Charge -- Driver conserves electric-only miles, favorin gas engine, but utilizing the hybrid tech that helps charge the battery.
Hybrid Trim Levels
You can definitely say that 2023 Escape Hybrid models have a well-stocked cockpit. Sitting in an 8-way power chair, the driver faces a large touchscreen and driver’s display. Dual-zone automatic controls allow the driver and front seat passenger to regulate air conditioning individually.
Intelligent Access provides both keyless entry and push button start. Apple CarPlay makes it easy to utilize iPhone apps and Siri voice controls. Android Auto does the same for Google Android functions. FordPass Connect is the path to a WiFi hotspot.
There are fun extras such as a wireless charger and ambient lighting. It’s possible to utilize Alexa built-in hands-free technology and to get updates for navigation from the cloud. With so much equipment, this is definitely a high-tech cabin with the comforts you need for commuting and traveling.
If you choose the Ford Escape ST Line Select, you can add the hybrid engine. This allows you to enjoy the unique styling of this sport trim. Inside there’s red stitching to add some flash to the ActiveX-covered seats and flat-bottomed steering wheel. Up front, there’s a distinctive piano black grille, In back, there’s a big single-wing spoiler.
PHEV Trim Level
2023 Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid models have top tech features like the regular Escape Platinum. It wears Active X and cloth upholstery. An option adds mini-perforated and quilted premium leather. Standards include dual power chairs with power heat functions.
Behind the steering wheel, there’s a large digital panel including instrumentation and information. Parking is easier with a SurroundView system to reveal any obstacles in the way.
An available Panoramic Vista Roof opens up the cabin with light and air. It can even slide all the way back to give the feeling of an open air ride. It’s easy to get competitive financing with the help of Earnhardt Ford.
Size and Spaciousness
Of course, who wants to ride in an SUV with a tiny backseat? The Escape solves the problem by offering 38.9 inches of legroom for the second row. The driver has 42.4 inches of legroom to work with. Overall, the passenger volume for the Escape Hybrid is 102.2 cubic feet.
Sliding seats let you choose the maximum rear cargo area or the maximum legroom. Owners love the flexibility to prioritize what’s needed at the moment. Of course, the seatbacks can split fold for a mix of passenger and cargo capacity.
Families will appreciate 34.4 cubic feet of cargo space. This useful area is designed to help you maximize what can be stored there. It expands to 60.8 cubic feet when you need to move a piece of furniture or a load of gear.
High Tech Driver Aids
When drivers have CoPilot360, they have an important set of tools that help prevent crash scenarios. Life is certainly less stressful with so much assistance. Technology watches the front (forward collision warning) and may slow the vehicle(emergency autobraking).
Additional technology watches the sides of the 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid. A blind spot monitor and lane watch are backed up by warning systems and, in some cases, evasive steering assist.
Even with traffic, the driver can utilize Intelligent Active Cruise Control. This is enhanced by lane centering. It even has sign recognition. An attention alert makes sure the human driver stays in charge of the ride.
There are many tools for parking, including the rearview camera, cross traffic warning, and SurroundView camera. Active Park Assist helps put the SUV into a space while Park Out Assist gives help as you are leaving.
