Used Ford Escape Hybrid Plug-in for Sale near Santa Cruz, CA

If youre mindful with playing the fuel saving minigame of hybrid driving you can get way over the estimated mpg. My average for the first 500 miles is 84mpg with plug in charging.

This is the perfect car/suv for us. 98% of our trips are less than 25 miles. We can use the electric motor. The only drawback is there’s not enough of these vehicles available to purchase.

The 37 mile electric range is perfect for our family’s needs. We mostly run errands, do kids sports, and have shorter work commutes. We won’t burn much gas given these needs and home based charging. There are nice features for a base level SE model ford as well.

Driving was very smooth and natural feeling (compared to normal gas engine). Plenty of zip and acceleration. A very nice car, the model I drove just didnt have the high-end stereo system I wanted. Seems like an excellent value for the money, especially compared to all-electrics.

A plug-in hybrid with decent cargo capacity and reasonable e-only mileage. Many people - me included - could drive most days on no gas (less than 37 miles - the e-only range). Hard to find a Southern California version not loaded with options. Same with the comparable RAV4 Prime. Escape has better passenger room, less cargo space than RAV4.
