In a crowded marketplace, it's important to distinguish yourself. Ford makes a big point of stating that Escape was the industry's "first hybrid SUV." Technically true -- the 2005 Escape Hybrid beat the Toyota Highlander Hybrid to market by several months. With a new design for 2008, Ford is hoping to get the jump on the competition again. The 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid FWD carries a base price of $26,265 ($30,000 as tested), a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty (8 years/100,000 mile warranty on unique hybrid components) and an EPA fuel economy estimate of 34 mpg city/30 mpg highway. Let's drive.
