2010 ford escape hybrid Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Power is sent through a planetary gearset-based continuously variable transmission that provides seamless transitions between gas and electric modes. All-wheel-drive (AWD) models come with a third electric motor to power the rear wheels when additional acceleration or traction is needed. In the absence of instrumented test results, we expect acceleration to be comparable to the gasoline-powered base Escape XLS, which reaches 60 mph from a standstill in about 9 seconds. EPA estimates for fuel economy put the front-wheel-drive Escape Hybrid at the top of the hybrid SUV category with 34 mpg... |

2010 Ford Escape Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...There's tons of cool technology in the Escape Hybrid. From watching the engine's performance and checking our family calendar (perfect for moms on the go) on the center stack's touch-screen to using the Sync system to call Daddy from the road, this hybrid kept us on the ball. The Escape Hybrid's seating was firm yet comfortable up front. My test car had heated seats for the front row. In the backseat, my boys were able to buckle up by themselves. What a relief. However, the backseat cupholders, which sit at the rear of the center console, were out of reach for the kids. My boys loved... |

2010 Ford Escape Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...giving drivers the ability to choose what color they'd like to use to highlight the interior, including blue, purple and orange. Ford's Sync entertainment and communication system is standard, and the Escape Hybrid can have an optional navigation system that has much-improved graphics and new capabilities, like displaying weather maps, gas prices and sports scores. Automatic dual-zone air conditioning is standard, and its display is incorporated into a dash-top readout screen. I wasn't high on this design when it initially came out because you have to look in two places to operate the system... |

2010 Ford Escape Hybrid Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...This system will guide the vehicle into a parallel parking space while the driver watches. The newest Escape also is one of the first Ford vehicles with the latest generation of the hands-free SYNC audio system, which now has audible traffic and directions information that is voice controlled. Both the Escape and Mariner have seating for up to five; no third row is offered. But even adults can sit comfortably in the back seat, although as with most vehicles, it's ore comfortable for two than three. Standard on all models are antilock brakes and electronic stability control. The stability... |
