2008 Ford Escape Hybrid – The Head of the Class in Fuel Economy

Despite its rather unreliable debut in 2001, there are now some pretty good reasons for the Escape to remain the top-selling small SUV. The BuyingAdvice team is particularly fond of the Ford Escape Hybrid which combines unmatched fuel economy with high safety ratings and an improved design this year.
The Escape Hybrid now has a tougher-looking exterior that makes it fit better with the larger siblings of the Ford family. The interior updates have improved comfort, utility and quieted the ride a bit. Another savvy move was making the seating from 100% post-industrial materials helping energy conservation without sacrificing a shred of overall comfort. Plus even with more stringent mpg guidelines for 2008, the Ford Escape Hybrid gets 34 mpg in the city.
A hybrid SUV worth comparing is the Saturn VUE hybrid. If more standard features are a bigger pull than gas mileage, check out the Honda CR-V.
