How to Customize Escape Hybrids

The Ford Escape Hybrid debuted in 2005 as the first hybrid sport utility vehicle on the market and the first first hybrid vehicle from a U.S.-based automaker. The Escape Hybrid is visually identical to its fully gasoline-powered counterpart and offers all of its utility while also providing an environmentally friendly vehicle. The Escape Hybrid actually delivers the same fuel efficiency of the four-cylinder model while delivering power ratings equivalent to that of the V-6 model. The Ford Motor Company's official website offers a user-friendly tool for those wondering how to customize the options in the Ford Escape Hybrid.
