| Road Test |
In 2008, hybrid vehicles are still pretty rare. "Full" hybrids that can actually be driven on pure battery power alone--versus "mild" hybrids that just shut off the gas engine when the vehicle isn’t moving--are rarer still. The much-improved 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid is one of them, and the tweaks made for 2008 help its gas-electric drivetrain run more efficiently.
