The battery pack in the plug-in hybrid variant has a capacity of 11.2 kWh, which, according to the EPA, is sufficient for an electric-only driving range of 37 miles. During our testing of the Escape’s fuel economy on the highway, we were able to drive for 25 miles until the battery in the vehicle ran out of electricity and the Escape reverted to using gasoline power.
When compared to competitors like the Kia Sportage and Hyundai Tucson, which both offer significantly more comprehensive coverage for their vehicles’ power-trains, the standard warranty plan that comes with a Ford vehicle is quite basic. Both the Escape hybrid and the Escape plug-in hybrid will come standard with an extended warranty that protects the vehicle for up to 100,000 miles and is designed specifically for the electrified power-trains found in those models: Coverage under the limited warranty is for 36,000 miles or three years, the power-train is covered under warranty for 60,000 miles or five years; the hybrid component warranty is good for 100,000 miles or eight years, and there is no free scheduled maintenance.
