No-Compromise Hybrid
Escape Hybrid was the first vehicle to combine SUV capability with the outstanding fuel economy* and low environmental impact of a full hybrid. It features comfortable seating for up to five, a versatile cargo area and a number of standard and optional amenities. And you can add capabilities such an available Intelligent 4WD System that provides enhanced traction whether the road is covered with gravel or ice or soaked by rain. *EPA estimated 34 city/31 hwy mpg, FWD. 34 MPG City

Here's another reason to love city life. When running in pure electric mode, Escape Hybrid uses no fuel when the vehicle is stopped in traffic or in drive at low speeds up to 44 mph. And when the 2.5L Atkinson-cycle I-4 engine kicks in, it delivers an outstanding 34 mpg fuel economy in stop-and-go driving situations.* *EPA estimated 34 city/31 hwy mpg, FWD.

Reduced Emissions
Not only does Escape Hybrid thrive in city driving, it's easy on the environment too, meeting strict Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV II) and Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) standards.

Regenerative Braking
When you apply the brakes in a conventional vehicle, the energy produced during the braking process is lost as heat. During braking in Escape Hybrid, the vehicle’s electric motor captures the energy and sends it back to the battery pack to be stored for later use. Thus, whenever you apply the brakes, you’re also recharging the vehicle’s battery pack. How’s that for smart?

Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) Battery
The innovative Escape Hybrid nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) battery is completely sealed and securely encased, and stored neatly under the flat rear cargo area load floor. What's more, the Regenerative Braking System recharges the NiMH battery each time you apply the brakes. A unique Hybrid component, it's covered under the 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty in non-California emissions states and under the 10-year/150,000-mile limited Hybrid battery warranty in certain other green-conscious states. See your dealer for details.

Eco-Friendly Seats
The standard innovative Earth-friendly cloth seat fabric in Escape Hybrid is made from 100 percent post-industrial materials — polyester fibers that would have ended up in landfills otherwise. Furthermore, the cushions use a bio-based polyurethane foam derived from the oils of various plant seeds such as soybeans. More than simply "green," the durable, comfortable and stylish nature of the material also makes it a perfect fit for Escape Hybrid.

SYNC®
The available voice-activated SYNC® communications and entertainment system* allows you to access your music collection by genre, album, artist or song title and operate your Bluetooth®-enabled phone using simple voice commands. With SYNC, you can even make music selections through your flash drive by voice command. Want to know more? Go to syncmyride.com. *Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control. Only use mobile phones and other devices, even with voice commands, when it is safe to do so. The Bluetooth word mark is a trademark of the Bluetooth SIG, Inc.

AdvanceTrac® with RSC®
All 2010 Ford Escape models come equipped with standard AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®). It’s the only stability control system with gyroscopic sensors that measure both vehicle yaw and roll motion. That means, if you corner too quickly or swerve to avoid an object, RSC® automatically applies brake pressure and adjusts engine power to help you keep your vehicle under control. But remember: even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.

Gas / Electric Hybrid
2010 Ford Escape Hybrid is partially an electrically-propelled vehicle. Its innovative nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) battery, which stores the energy the vehicle uses, is securely encased and set neatly under the flat rear cargo area load floor. What's more, the Regenerative Braking System recharges the NiMH battery each time the brakes are applied. The electric motor inside 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid is capable of propelling the vehicle up to 44 mph on its own. When extra power is needed — such as during passing or merging situations — the electric motor combines with the gasoline engine to deliver lively acceleration.

Navigation System
The voice-activated Navigation System with integrated SIRIUS Travel Link™* gives you everything from turn-by-turn voice guidance to real-time traffic information, current and forecasted national weather information, fuel prices, sports scores and schedules, and movie listings. On top of all that it has a 10GB hard drive so you can store up to 2,400 songs. Browse your music with your fingertips or use voice activation to play back a track. What’s more, the Hybrid Energy Flow Display lets you track the powertrain’s three main modes of operation (Hybrid Drive, Electric Drive and Idle Charging) as well as the vehicle’s overall fuel economy.

SIRIUS®
Satellite Radio* puts you in the driver’s seat. With more than 130 channels, including 100% commercial-free music, plus sports, news, talk and entertainment, SIRIUS brings you more of what you love. Standard on all 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid models.

Rear View Camera
The available rear view camera for 2010 Ford Escape provides a video image of the area behind your vehicle on the interior rearview mirror (or navigation screen if the vehicle is equipped with the available Voice-activated Navigation System). Activated automatically when the vehicle is shifted into Reverse, the rear view camera can alert you to certain objects behind your vehicle.

Active Park Assist
If you dread the thought of parallel parking, Ford has your answer. It’s called Active Park Assist, now available on 2010 Escape Hybrid Limited models. Here’s how it works: While driving slowly in the parking zone, activate Park Assist and it looks for an available parking spot. Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance to the curb and between parked cars. Once a spot that’s big enough is identified, you’re signaled to stop and accept the system’s assistance. When you give the system the green light to proceed, Park Assist controls the steering, all you do is control the braking.

Lively Acceleration
The electric motor inside 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid is capable of propelling the vehicle up to 44 mph on its own. When extra power is needed — such as during passing or merging situations — the electric motor combines with the gasoline engine to deliver lively acceleration. The 2.5L Atkinson-cycle I-4 engine features late intake valve closing (LIVC), as well as advancements in processor technology for smooth transition from gas to electric mode.

Intelligent 4WD
Whether traveling on- or off-road, the available Intelligent 4WD System for Ford Escape Hybrid is always on and always working to help provide maximum traction. What’s so smart about the system is its ability to monitor traction 200 times per second by sensing traction input and automatically adjusting torque distribution as needed. Such adjustments work to ensure to Ford Escape achieves maximum grip where the rubber meets the road.

Hybrid Component Warranty
In addition to the standard 3-year/36,000-mile limited bumper-to-bumper warranty, 2010 Ford Escape Hybrid comes with an extended 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty covering Hybrid components. Unique Hybrid components covered under the 8-year/100,000 mile limited warranty are the high-voltage battery (non-California emissions states) eCVT and DC/DC Converter. Extended to a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty in certain states. See your dealer for complete limited warranty details.
