Escape to Greener Pastures with a 2024 Ford Escape

2024 Ford PHEVIf you want to break free from your daily routine, you can do it anytime when you have a 2024 Ford Escape PHEV in your driveway. Because it’s a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, the Ford Escape PHEV is eco-friendly and prepared to limit your impact on the environment. To see how it feels to escape your ho-hum driving experience, schedule a test drive at O’Brien Ford of Shelbyville.

Powertrain, All-Electric Range, and Charging Times

The Ford Escape PHEV has a hybridized powertrain with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a battery pack, and an electric motor. The total system output is a respectable 210 horsepower. Front-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission round out the powertrain and driveline.
Charging the SUV’s 14.4-kWh battery pack takes 3.5 hours if you use a 240-volt household outlet. If you employ a 120-volt outlet instead, charging the battery pack fully will take 10 to 11 hours. Using electricity alone, the Ford Escape PHEV can travel 37 miles by manufacturer estimates. Once the battery’s reserves are exhausted, the Ford Escape PHEV runs like a traditional hybrid vehicle.

Cabin Space

Some motorists are reluctant to purchase a PHEV because they worry the battery pack will limit the vehicle’s passenger or cargo space. That’s not a concern for the Ford Escape PHEV because this SUV has ample room for travelers and all their gear.
The Ford Escape PHEV has comfortable, supportive seats for five passengers. There are 42.4 inches of legroom in the front row and 38.9 inches in the back row. You’ll find 34.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats. If you fold the back seats, the SUV’s cargo capacity increases to 60.8 cubic feet.

Standard Equipment

New Ford vehicles are outfitted with enviable features; the same can be said about the Ford Escape PHEV. Here are some of the amenities that are standard for the SUV:
  • Eight-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity
  • Wi-Fi® hotspot
