2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Trims and Specs

The 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Base makes use of Ford’s continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) to manage power from the paired 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline and electric drive motors. A leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel sits in front of the 6-way power driver’s bucket seat and houses controls for the AM/FM/CD/MP3 player. That unit comes with a digital-media player connection as well as satellite radio and an iPod adaptor. Power windows, doors, and mirrors and remote-keyless entry are included. A center console sits between the two front buckets, and the back holds a split-folding rear seat. Cruise control is standard, along with a tachometer, compass, outside-temperature indicator, illuminated visor mirrors, floormats, and rear privacy glass. On the outside you’ll find roof rails, foglights, automatic headlights, and 16-inch alloy wheels. The Hybrid also adds several features not usually found at the base level, like dual-zone automatic climate controls, Bluetooth with voice recognition, and an automatic day/night rearview. Variable-intermittent wipers are joined by a rear wiper/washer and defogger combo.

Safety features for the 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Base include traction control and antilock four-wheel disc brakes with anti-skid and rollover sensors, a tire pressure monitor, and a theft-deterrent system.
