Picture of 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Not content with its aesthetic updates from 2008, the 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid adds more power and makes adjustments to its gas-electric powerplant to improve stability, traction, and performance. A new 2.5-liter inline four replaces the old 2.3, raising overall horsepower to 177 hp in combination with the electric motor. Paired with the eCVT (electronic continuously variable transmission), the 2009 Escape Hybrid promises 34/30 mpg or 400-500 miles on one tank of gas, what Ford claims to be a 70% increase in fuel economy over the regular Escape. And the eCVT guarantees seamless shifting for a smoother ride. The hybrid system features regenerative braking (to recharge the 330V Ni-MH battery) and engine cutoff during stops and idling. Tweaks to the electric motor and the hybrid software have reduced the jolts and stutters that often came when the engine started back up or the system transitioned from the electric motor to the gas engine. This contributes to a more fluid and quiet ride, with some reviewers now unaware when the switchover takes place. As with many hybrids, the electric motor can power the SUV on its own, and for 2009 the maximum speed the motor can power alone has increased to 40 mph (up from 25). Available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, the latest Escape Hybrid displays better traction and road grip, thanks to a long-needed revision to the braking system. What once felt spongy and required several strong efforts now feels sharper and more responsive. Electronic stability control has also been added this year, along with a new anti-sway rear stabilizer bar for a more confident feeling of control behind the wheel during turns. Adjustments to the suspension further aid stability by creating a more balanced distribution of weight with the rear-mounted batteries. On the outside, the 2009 Escape Hybrid gets the same updates as its regular version, with front chin and rear wheel spoilers and 16-inch wheels with low-resistance Michelin tires. Inside, you'll find a roomy SUV designed for small families, with a generous 41 inches of legroom up front and nearly 36 in the back. Rear seats fold flat (after pushing up the seat cushions) to expand the 29 cubic feet of space to 66 cubic feet. Additional storage is found in the expansive center console. The hybrid comes well-equipped, with full power features, cruise control, remote entry, a 6-CD player, and heated leather seats made out of recycled material. A standard sunroof opens up the interior even more. The Ford Escape Hybrid was the first hybrid SUV on the market, and it continues to improve its handling and performance to help diehard SUV fans make a painless and seamless transition into more environmentally friendly driving behavior. As its price continues to climb, however, drivers need to weigh whether the slight extra savings at the gas pump will add up to the cost differential between the hybrid and the regular Escape.

With additional sound deadening installed, the hybrid limited was pleasureable and relatively quiet to drive. It did not have a powerful engine but that is the compromise if you want good mpg. It had sufficient power for most round town and highway driving. The rear seats can be laid down and/or the passenger seat can be laid down for greater storage. This is a FWD model to bolster mpg and no control problems were encountered in wet weather or snow. For snow driving where Chains were required, there were no issues attaching chains or driving with them.

This car gets great mileage ( 30 mpg), and has a very comfortable ride. I love the big windows that allow great visibility in all directions. The computer tells you everything you need to know to drive frugally and safely. The fold down rear seats make it into a large station wagon with lots of room for big items.

Its a very nice car, and reliable. I would recommend it if you're looking for a hybrid SUV. It doesn't have the "collectors" appeal (like a Jeep Wrangler say) but for a commuter car its very good. The newer models design are not as nice in my opinion.
