The 2024 Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) is electrifying the SUV market with its acceleration and impressive range.  Looking for a versatile vehicle that can save gas while offering the performance and comfort expected from a Ford?  Take a closer look at the PHEV and let’s see if it’s the right one for you.

What is a PHEV?

A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle is a vehicle that combines a traditional engine with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery.  It can be plugged into an external power source to charge the battery, allowing for a driver to travel a certain distance using only the electric power.  When the battery power is used up, the vehicle will switch easily to its gas engine, allowing for continuous driving.  PHEVs are perfect for drivers looking to reduce fuel usage while having the flexibility and convenience of a gas engine.

Save Gas Without Sacrificing Power

The hybrid engine is all about saving you gas.  It’s pretty smart and can switch between electric and gas power without you even noticing.  Think about how much you drive between Spokane and Post Falls…this Ford Escape PHEV can go all electric between those trips.  You can go about 37 miles (EPA estimated) on just electric power, which is awesome for saving money at the pump.

Advanced Battery and Charging Options

The battery in the Escape PHEV is built to last and performs well.  It’s perfect for commuting around town on electric power, but you’ve got the gas engine for longer trips so you don’t have to worry about running out of juice.  Charging it up is super easy-you can do it at home or find charging stations all around Spokane and further out.  We have chargers here at Wendle, conveniently located at our dealership.  If you’re thinking about getting a hybrid SUV, this Escape is a great choice.  It’s easy to use and simple to charge.

Versatility of an SUV with the Efficiency of a Hybrid

The Ford Escape Hybrid has something for everyone.  It’s got the fuel-saving hybrid and it’s an SUV.  Inside, its roomy for passengers and cargo, so it’s perfect for families and awesome for a college student packing up for school.  If you’re looking for a bit of everything, the Escape is sleek and modern, ready for every drive.

Available Technology for a Connected Drive

Just because you’re saving on gas, doesn’t mean your compromising on technology.  You’ve got the SYNC system, featuring voice recognition, cloud connectivity and seamless connection with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.  You can access music, maps and staying in touch-all hands-free.  Some cool and helpful safety features like 360-degree camera and blind spot assist make the Escape safe while still being fun.  Plus, get the optional wireless charging pad for no cables!
