2022 Ford Escape PHEV
When you hear the name 2022 Ford Escape, what comes to mind? Reliability, that's a give. And probably its versatility, too, has made it one of the most practical and popular SUVs in Canada. But our Escape is much more than that. It's also synonymous with ecology and savings, thanks in part to its new plug-in hybrid engine.
Just as practical and comfortable as conventional models, this greener version is still spacious and innovative and offers reduced fuel consumption. If you haven't yet had the chance to experience the exhilarating ride of the 2022 Ford Escape, now is the time to treat yourself!
An ultra-efficient engine block
The remarkable thing about this version of the Ford Escape is obviously its engine. There are many options for buying a vehicle in this range, but the one that allows you to have the best energy efficiency is the plug-in hybrid! Indeed, it offers a fuel consumption of 2.2L/100km, much better than its EcoBoost or non-plug-in hybrid cousins with 7.8L/100km and 5.8L/100km, respectively.
This incredible efficiency allows the 2022 Ford Escape plug-in hybrid to take you even further (774 kilometres to be exact) with its 2.5L iVCT Atkinson-cycle hybrid engine and 14.4kWh battery. And just because it's green doesn't mean it can't be powerful! It's even more powerful than the hybrid model, capable of developing up to 221-horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque.
Comfortable and stylish interior
Beyond the choice of engine, the 2022 Ford Escape PHEV is also pleasant to drive, and in this respect, it wins hands down thanks to its elegant and practical interior. Designed to be airy and minimalist, everything has been made to feel comfortable once you're seated. Some examples include its optional 12.3" screen or rotating shift knob, increasing living space without compromising utility.
To help you with your daily tasks, it also offers an impressive 1,850 litres of cargo space and 60/40 split-folding seats to help you with all your luggage. The second-row seats even have a slide-out feature that allows you to easily maximize the space available for whatever you need to carry. To brighten things up, consider the optional Vista panoramic roof!
Technology at your service
In addition to its comfort and power, the 2022 Ford Escape PHEV was designed to handle all the tasks of an active day. The reason it does this so well is most likely due to its intelligent use of technology to benefit the comfort and safety of its users. These include a hands-free power tailgate that opens with a simple foot movement or an optional wireless charger right in the center of your console.
In terms of safety, it again exceeds expectations with the inclusion of the Ford Co-Pilot 360 driver assistance feature set. It already comes standard with pre-collision assistance with automatic emergency braking and blind-spot warning, and lane tracking systems. Add a few options like Intelligent Cruise Control or Evasive Steering Assist to make it even better! Its parking assistance even allows you to park with a clear head.
That's right, the classic 2022 Ford Escape, but this time in a plug-in hybrid format!
