I bought the escape phev in May. It's paying for itself over my gas guzzlers. I added a banks pedal monster and it really makes a huge difference in the available power in all electric operation. I'm a lead foot and averaging 93mpg. My 60 mile work commute is all electric and we still have gas for visiting distant family regularly.
Had mine since May, 2200 kms, filled up once and currently at 1.9 L/100 (got it down to 1.3 before a few longer trips!)
My wife goes 18 miles to work and puts gas in it less than once a month . Our escape is rated for 37 miles a charge and at 12 cents a kw it cost us about $1.68 to charge and Duke gives us a $10 a month discount with a level 2 charger off peak .
Great honest review. Thank you.
Thanks U can!
PHEV = No range anxiety and no sitting waiting for a charge station to open up.
I heard that if you put mandatory EV and then if you have to accelerate to overtake, then a pop-up comes on the screen that you are leaving the EV mode is that correct?
@@amitgota The Volt is 100% electric drive with a generator under the hood to maintain the batteries. The generator will kick on when the weather is cold and when the battery is draining fast but the car is always moving due to the electric motor. If the battery is draining too fast due to cold weather or based on some programming algorithm, the electric motor is much slower than normal which can be frustrating.
@@amitgota I believe (from other videos I've seen) it gives you a pop up that asks if you want to enable the gas engine for more power, and you press "OK" on the wheel to do so
I have 130,000 miles on a CMAX. Basically it’s a Escape Phev before they called them Escape. Since new I’m getting 51.9 mpg. That’s living in Canada where mileage is effected by the cold. So about 4.5 litres per 100km. I would think the Escape would get about the same. In a gas model, you wouldn’t get 30mpg. It’s a huge savings.
I've had my Escape hybrid for 32 months and save 1 fill up every month compared to my previous Subaru Crosstrek. So about $750 or so. And the ICE only runs about 30% of the time saving much wear and tear over time.
It would be useful to put a link for chargers you are using. Thanks
is this the same as
the kuga
At 2:39 you show this little mechanical door guard that extends when the door is opened and retracts when the door is closed. I thought this was very cool and would be very useful. This is the first I've heard of it, so do you know if this is an Australian exclusive or is this present on the US models?
Seems to be an option in Australia only.
Did not see that option in USA or Canada
Had one for 3 weeks. Averaging 3L per 100 km over 1600 km. Half is highway driving of about 120 km trips. 5x better than my MDX. So 48 litres consumption vs 240L. I figure I will save $3k per year in gas
i have a 2020 titanium hybrid only getting 25mpg on highway 😢
Just a better Toyota ;-) (because of the same eCVT technology)
I originally wanted the RAV4 Prime so bad and searched everywhere and gave up finally, saddened. I then got this car, and to be honest, the more I compare the two, the more I feel like I may have gotten the better car; there's no doubt it's considerably more efficient: it stops in shorter braking distance as tested by car reviewers, it gets nearly the same range in real world testing in EV mode, and yet it has WAY better fuel economy when driven as hybrid, especially at highway speeds
It's 2.5l naturally aspirated not turbo
A puma? or a jaguar?
7:27 is the engine a turbo ! Even if it’s Atkinson!
Not a turbo
How do you charge this in 2 hours? 3,5 hours is minimum?!
3.5 hours would be from 0 to 100; I doubt you'd take it down to 0; I think he's meaning that if you just drive one way to work like 20 miles, then yeah, that'll charge in 2 hours
Why would anyone need the extra cord? I don’t see the point.
You can get the full ev range every day that way

At about (:30 in the video. - -100km/h without a seat belt and whie holding a mobile phone! What were you thinking?!?
Hi Paul. Thanks for your comments making sure we are being safe. At 30 seconds, the car is travelling at 80-85 kph, Jerry is wearing a seatbelt. The colour of the seatbelt matches his shirt and is hard to distinguish. The footage was filmed by the passenger who also was wearing a seatbelt.
