First released in 1994, the Ford Escape hybrid is a gas-electric
alternative to Ford Motor Company's original SUV. It is the first
automobile to unite the full capacity of a sport utility vehicle with
the great benefits of a hybrid, which include excellent fuel economy
and low environmental effects. It is similar in body and features to
the earlier Escape, but is distinguished by its "Hybrid" symbol
located in the rear. The vehicle's most appealing feature is its fuel
economy.

The 2008 Escape Hybrid can get an average of 34 mpg in the city, and
30 mpg on the highway. One of the ways it does so is by conserving gas
when the vehicle is stopped or moving at slow speeds. In these
instances, the SUV is powered by its electric system. Gas prices are
the number one reason why people are switching to hybrid cars, and the
Escape Hybrid definitely cushions the blow of the gas pump on your wallet.
