Excellent review and video. Thanks! I don’t understand Ford’s philosophy either making the PHEV a premium “option” in the Escape line, but I want a premium trim so doesn’t personally impact me. I DO NOT get what you are talking about however when you say that adding the Premium package and a few options pushes the price to the top of the category. This simply is not true at all. I have an Escape PHEV on order with Premium package, no sunroof, add trailer hitch and block heater, and my total sticker price is $48,703 CDN (net of all incentives, discounts, and rebates- bottom line price). I had a lease offer on a RAV4 Prime with all the comparable options, still does not match a few of the Escape specs (tiny 8” touch screen for example), and came in at a whopping $61,987 CDN (net of all rebates, discounts, incentives etc). So a top tier Escape PHEV is $14k less than a RAV4 Prime, as it should be… no AWD, less range, less HP etc. The Escape is a smoking bargain in the category if you are okay with FWD. On the availability side, I am in Alberta, and the Toyota sales person literally told me NOT to order a RAV4 Prime as she had zero confidence that they could deliver it in less than 24 months. She said they have had one purchaser’s deposit for 21 months so far and still no vehicle. Toyota is sending all their Primes to BC and Ontario where provincial governments are adding to the Federal rebates. I called a BC dealer for a quote and even he said that OPTIMISTICALLY it would be 12-14 months before I would receive the vehicle. The Escape PHEV however, my local Ford dealer group has 4 coming next month, none of which had the right combination of features that I was after so I place an order and have a delivery date less than 3 months out (factory has scheduled the delivery for end of May). Kia sales person said 12-18 months for a Sportage, with a very low level of confidence (when I pressed him he basically said they have no idea whatsoever when I would receive a vehicle if I gave them a deposit today). Hyundai Tucson- dealer has three on the way in the next 3-6 months that I could put my name on one of if I wanted to. One HUGE difference between the Escape PHEV and its competitors, for Canadian buyers, that no reviews, or even the manufacturers’ literature addresses…. The Escape is the only PHEV of the bunch that has a heat pump! It uses both electric heat pump and ICE cooling system to provide cabin heat. This means that in the winter time in Canada, you can heat the cabin while in EV only mode. ALL OTHERS need the ICE engine to be running at operating temperature to heat the cabin. That means that the Tucson, Sportage, and RAV4, will all be burning gasoline throughout the winter, regardless of EV priority mode. Kinda defeats the whole purpose doesn’t it?? With the Escape you can drive in EV only mode, year round, while its competitors cannot. I don’t think this is a small difference.

AWD is good for real winter's. It's not needed in places that have zero or a little snow a couple times of year. Even then, if you don't drive like an idiot, a FWD is perfectly capable in snowy weather. I did it for 35-40 years and never had a problem.

I just drove 2000km across Ireland in the last 2w driving the European version of the Escape: the Ford Kuga PHEV and I was very impressed by the overall performance of this vehicle. Very fuel efficient (got 4.5 L/100 avg without plugging it) and I found the 2.5L engine very capable and quiet. The CVT is also one of the greatest that I ever drove. The only problem is the price that seems to be on the high side. I’m usually driving a 2021 Audi Q5 at home and didn’t find a huge gap driving this Ford. I had an Escape back in 2004 and wasn’t impressed with the quality at that time.

Had the original Outlander PHEV and then a RAV4 Prime until it was rear ended. Now have a Sportage PHEV due to 3-4 yr wait times for replacement Toyota. RAV4 by far best electric power train but very happy with Sportage PHEV (base) as it can still tow my 2000lb trailer and does its fuel saving job. I drive an Escape PHEV as a work vehicle occasionally. In my opinion it can’t compete especially now the price is so high.

If it wasn't for the $2500 dealership discount, the $8500 Ford discount and the $7500 government EV discount they had on their Summer clearance sale, I don't think I would have bought one versus other brands. Marking it down with all those discounts to $32k CAN definitely made me pull the trigger on the deal, versus the long wait for a rather expensive Rav4 Prime to not only come available, but pay nearly double the price (Meanwhile the cost of diesel eats away at my savings). FWD is a concern for me in Northern BC, but a good set of winter tires will do the trick I'm sure.

I believe you failed to mention the biggest drawback to purchasing a ford escape. Unlike its competitors the only way you can charge the battery is by external means. The vehicle does NOT charge the battery other than by regenerative braking. To me, this was a deal-breaker when looking to purchase. On a small test drive running inEV mode, the battery was substantially within 20-30 kms. Other cars in class do charge the battery while the engine is operating. In this case you are bacically FORCED to plug the vehicle in daily due to a small EV battery.

I totally agree with your review. The Escape PHEV is a great car, but it should be offered in a lower trim level. The starting price in USD is $ 40,500. This would be a no-brainer purchase at $35k - $36k. However, since they are selling every one that they produce at the moment, I don't see Ford reducing the entry-level offering for now. And as it is likely to go away in 2025, this is probably all we're gonna get.

Even on a mobile phone screen it looks cheaply made. The interior finish seems worse than in Mazdas. - It's a hard choice considering that Mazda doesn't offer a real hybrid in this size.

It's pretty crazy right now, we are just so busy we had to eliminate something.

14.4 kWh only going 60 km isn't terribly great. A 28 kWh Ioniq (pre 2020) can do 200 km. I know the SUV is much bigger, but geez, the difference is a tad stark, isn't it.

Anyone get the 7500 tax credit from dealer on this? I think it qualifies.

The Tucson hybrid, AWD with Ultimate package is a far better hybrid, let alone plug-in hybrid compared to the Escape plug-in.

Sorry 😣 Over $50K for ANY Ford is far too much! No Thank You! 👎

Helped family buy two previous 2015+ Escapes. Both had serious issues with multiple recalls. One had an engine replaced under warranty. Would not recommend any Ford these days because of the many issues with their engine platforms and multiple issues with trim, fit and finish and plastics.

Do you really need AWD or would a good set of winter tires be sufficient?

wondering if you guys can do compact size hybrid car comparison? for example, like prius, elantra hybrid, corolla hybrid, and civic hybrid(think i heard news it is coming out soon). Pretty much all I see are all SUV, trucks, pure EV etc from all car reviewers. I don't see much comparison on small hybrid cars.

I owned a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid for 11 years and is the most reliable vehicle I ever owned trouble free. No breakdown what so ever. Trade in 2019 for pre-owned 2016 Chevy Volt Premier PHEV class leading EV range of 85 km 53 mile that almost no PHEV come close.

I agree on the heated seats. My friend has a ford escape and his heated seats on the lowest level are hotter then mine on the highest. Has toytoa always had crappy heated seats? Even my wheel doesnt get very warm.

Nice vehicle but not good enough because of lack of features and no 4 wheels drive. At end, Zack so funny when didn’t say anything. 😆 Good show Andrea! ☕️☕️
