Big screen, not big tech
The hybrid doesn’t provide an equally transferable distance for what you give up in gas tank size, the car auto shuts off if you idle too long (can’t disable), and it doesn’t link smoothly to Apple CarPlay. Very frustrating that some basic features are lacking and the forced shut down is extremely irritating. Find something else that doesn’t make decisions for you.

Electric range only very poor
Purchased 2023 ford escape hybrid top of the line model loaded. Enjoy car very much except for fords electric only range, ford rates escape hybrid 37 miles electric only. My ford escape hybrid get 21 miles per full charge. I feel ripped off but now I’m stuck with this poor performance on electric power only.

Great feel, great features.
I really like the ride and how quiet it is. It's not only when running on the battery but at highway speeds too. I have seen a few quirks with the Sync system. I normally connect via Bluetooth and charge via the QI charger on the console but my older phone gets hot so I use the USB to connect. This can cause the display to freeze. I have figured out to disconnect from the car then plug in. I would imagine this is something they are looking at but have reported it anyway. The only other quirk is the speed limit guidance when using cruise control sometimes reads the truck speed limit since they are on different posted signs in IL. My speed will drop suddenly as it reads the wrong sign. I don't know if that is peculiar to my car or any that uses that technology.

Fun to drive but not relaxing for a long trip.
We test drove an Escape Hybrid. It was very peppy and responsive. I felt driving would take too much attention to be relaxing on a long trip. One thing that worried me was the close position of the brake and gas pedals and that the brake pedal seemed too high in relation to the gas pedal. That might be dangerous in an emergency situation. Also I worried about it not being a Top Safety Pick.
