Reviews of the 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid is a full hybrid, with a combination of computer-controlled systems optimizing efficiency and a sealed high-voltage battery allowing electric-only operation.
The Bad: The 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid's list of interior electronics options is short, and what is present isn't up to snuff. The efficiency gain doesn't make up for the compromised performance and solidity, especially with the price premium.
The Bottom Line: The 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid still feels unfinished. Despite a commendably advanced power train, the rest of the vehicle disappoints, and the overall ownership experience won't be salvaged by a few extra miles per gallon.
