| Road Test |
The 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid compact SUV is the latest model of Ford’s pioneering hybrid. In 2004, it was both the first hybrid SUV and the first hybrid built in the United States. It’s capable, attractive, and in the last few years, a perennial bestseller for Ford. Buyers nervous about the durability of hybrids should be reassured by the fact that more than 1,500 Ford Escape Hybrids are in regular use as New York City taxicabs.
