2005 Silver Ford Escape Hybrid Green SUV All Wheel Drive

Go Green with room for the kids and all their stuff on your way to Squaw Valley for a pow-pow day!

Roominess: Seats 5 people comfortably with good leg room and ample trunk space. Seats fold down flat in the back and there is a roof rack for additional storage space.

Fuel Savings: I saw an average of approximately 30 miles per gallon fuel efficiency - lower for hill driving, higher on the flats and in the city. If you drive 70 miles roundtrip each day to work, 250 days a year, pay $3/gallon at the pump and:

you get 20 MPG now, you may experience $875 gas savings per year
you get 15 MPG now, you may experience $1750 gas savings per year
you get 10 MPG now, you may experience $3500 gas savings per year

Engine Power: A traditional gasoline-powered 2.3L I4 Atkinson Cycle Engine and a hidden-rechargeable battery that works together with the combustion engine to improve fuel efficiency. Most of my driving was highway so if you are a city driver, you can expect better MPG than I experienced. The Reason? When you come to a stoplight the engine turns off. If you ease the gas pedal down to accelerate, the SUV runs exclusively on battery power until the computer decides more power is needed (over 25-30 MPH or when you need some quick zip).

Factory Warranty: 3yrs/36,000 miles overall and 8 years/100,000 miles on Hybrid components.

Extended Service Plan (Premium Care): 5yrs/48,000 miles overall (cost me $1500). This policy will be transferred at time of sale at my cost ($50).

Mileage: Less than 32,000 miles and was serviced recently. I can provide all records.

Exterior: Excellent condition. The silver color hides dirt well so you don’t need to wash as often - a plus for the planet and your pocketbook. There is a small dent on the tailgate (as shown in the picture) which I can fix before transferring ownership or lower the asking price if you want to do it yourself.
