Notably, the Ford Escape Hybrid has been lauded by Ford CEO Jim Farley and has gained significant acclaim for its performance, placing it among the most satisfying compact crossovers and top hybrid options. This Blue Oval SUV has earned prestigious accolades such as Consumer Reports’ recommendation, solidifying its position as one of the most sought-after new vehicles and top American models. Moreover, it shines as one of the premier hybrid choices in the $35,000 to $45,000 price range, thanks to its unique features and cost-effectiveness.

The Ford Escape Hybrid has achieved a significant milestone by being listed among the most economical three-year-old alternative fuel vehicles in a recent study conducted by iSeeCars. In contrast to the Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring, which emerged as one of the priciest alternative fuel vehicles on the same list, the Ford Escape Hybrid offers superior value. According to iSeeCars’ research, the average price of a three-year-old Escape Hybrid stands at $33,508, with an average annual mileage of 13,993 miles, translating to an effective cost of $2,395 per 1,000 miles. This cost-effectiveness, combined with its impressive mileage, places the electrified crossover seventh on the list.

iSeeCars collected data for the Ford Hybrid by analyzing the odometer readings of 1.3 million three-year-old used cars sold between November 2022 and April 2023. The automotive search engine compared the mileage of hybrid vehicles to that of gas cars and found that hybrids were typically driven 12,471 miles over the specified time frame, representing a 2.7 percent reduction compared to gas cars.

 

“Range anxiety and charging infrastructure are top-of-mind for EV drivers, and those factors likely limit how far owners will drive them. Hybrids and plug-in hybrids, where all-electric battery range is limited but range anxiety isn’t a factor, are driven only slightly less than gasoline cars, as reflected in their similar yearly mileage. The price increase between hybrids and traditional gasoline models keeps dropping, making hybrids an increasingly desirable option for consumers looking to keep both purchase price and operating costs low without altering their driving habits or facing range anxiety.“
