2022 Ford Escape PHEV Review: Hey, What About Me?
Much as Ford wants to change this, for the moment, its Escape isn't necessarily first to come to many folks’ mind when thinking of a plug-in hybrid SUV. That’s to be expected, given that the regular-powered version, though certainly solid, is nowhere near the top of its class. The Dearborn-based manufacturer's compact SUV is outmatched by more accomplished and fun-to-drive competitors.
That 61 km is a reasonable enough figure - except that during our winter test, we noted a real-world electric range between recharges that was quite a bit lower, more in the neighborhood of 30 to 40 km between recharges.

However, if you're doing a stretch on the highway, it's very easy - and advisable - to select the option of saving the available charge for later by using the engine's power; then you toggle back to electric mode as soon as you're back on city streets.
At those times when the battery was too discharged to allow for driving in electric mode, we recorded an average consumption between 3L to 4L/ 100 km per trip. At the end of our week of testing, we had covered 500 km, 341 of them in electric mode, and recorded an average consumption of 4.1L/100 km. Which, overall, is not bad at all, especially in winter - and it’s reason to rejoice given our current gasoline prices!What struck us right away was the comfort of the vehicle.
Compared to its competitors in this segment, the Escape offers decent space for passengers and their luggage, but it still lags behind its rivals. The PHEV version offers 869 litres of maximum cargo space compared to 950 for the non-electrified versions. The Toyota RAV4 Prime and Hyundai Tucson PHEV have a capacity of 949 and 902 litres, respectively.
