Surprisingly efficient and functional

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.

Have had the escape before and love them. Just right for two to 5 people. Love it.

My 6th Ford Escape - and My Favorite!

2024 Ford Escape Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

The 2024 Ford Escape has some very understated upgrades that make a huge difference in looks and overall driving. The ignition button has been moved under the much bigger screen, which makes it easier to get to when turning it on and off. The screen is incredibly large, easy to read and makes it easier to navigate backing up as you can see from many angles. The interior is two toned and really pretty. The other features are similar to my past 5 Escapes, which I loved. And, the new car smell? Magnificent!

Love our 2024 Escape PHEV. Since January purchase, have put only 11 gallons of gas in 1,100 miles. Love the leather seats and the big 13 inch screen. Fun to drive.

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.
