Overall I like the vehicle but it does has some issues that they need to work on. Automatic speed sign recognition is terrible as it reads every speed limit sign including ones not meant for you like it sees a 70mph and speeds you up to that then 20’ feet later it sees the truck limit then immediately slows you down to that when that is not the limit for cars and suvs. The side mirrors reflect the door handles and you constantly think there is something on the mirrors. Quality issues abound with Ford still like rear bumper was missing screws. Interior has a lot of cheap materials.

We bought our Escape PHEV in June 24 and by November we already had nearly 20,000 km of trouble free driving. In the summer, we got up to 65 km of electric driving on one charge. At -2C, that range drops to 35 km - a bit disappointing but apparently other PHEV have similar drop. About 75% of our driving is on rural highways. Fuel consumption is in the 5 to 6 liter/100 km at 90-110 km an hour. On higher speed highways, we typically get more like 7 liter/100 km at 120 km/hour. That is about 30 to 40% less than our previous similarly-sized SUV. We like the comfy ride, the easy to use display, the various automated driving assistance systems (once you understand them, you appreciate them), the smooth regen braking, the imperceptible transmission, and how quiet the vehicle is under most conditions. Also like the functionalities of the Ford App. Our favorite - you can set a departure time and pre-heat the car. There are a few things that we dislike - the slow charging speed at 240V and the fact that pre-heating the car works well when plugged on a 240V circuit but is barely noticeable on 120V. It is also hard to understand why rear seats are not heated. Overall, with the Federal Gov rebate for PHEV, a Ford discount and a dealer discount, we think we got exceptional value for our money.

Seats are uncomfortable, sound system is bad, very cheap interior, infotainment system is terrible. I wish I never bought this truck. As 2024 Escape PHEV it is good on gas.

Trickle charging the Ford Escape PHEV

Great car after finding the trickle charge YouTube video. Turns out that the little 12 V battery drains in power when you only take short trips. So it needs to be trickle charged occasionally. Nice leather, great sun roof, heated seats and steering wheel are all we need typically, vocal commands and many options we like for across state travel (500 miles range) or local trips. Recommend this car.
