2006 Ford Escape Hybrid Review

Editor of CARazed.com publishes his review of the new 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid SUV, one of the first true hybrid SUVs. Harrold Ford, a local Sacramento, California Ford dealership gave CARazed.com the time to explore this hybrid SUV.

"I was impressed. I expected a wimpy little run-about with an odd transmission and I found a fully loaded affordable small SUV with tons of cool new technology."

"I did notice the unique qualities of the electronically controlled constant velocity transmission (eCVT) though. The first thing I noticed was the absence of shifting gears. … It was definitely a different experience than a traditional automatic transmission but one anyone would get accustomed to it quickly."

Included in the review is a comparison chart that graphically illustrates the lead the Ford Escape Hybrid has in price and fuel economy. Links to owner reviews strengthen the case for this new hybrid SUV.

Mike concludes by saying, "In a nutshell, there are a lot of happy owners and on average they rate the Escape Hybrid a 9 out of 10. For a brand new model, with a ton of new technology, this is a good indication that the Escape Hybrid is a good deal."
