200 pounds lighter (extensive use of HSS), yet bigger, more spacious inside and quicker too.
2.0L EB carries over. 1.5L EB gets dynamic cylinder deactivation (14ms).
Two different hybrid power-trains (conventional-hybrid and plug-hybrid) with 4 distinct EV modes -- what many HEV buyers have been asking for -- with 30 miles and up to 85 mph when on electric only.
"1" Auto-EV is the traditional HEV mode.
"2" EV-Now let's you go to 100% electric whenever you want
"3" EV-Later lets you drive only on gas now and save electric for later (could be really handy for stealth off-road wildlife watching!)
"4" EV-Charge mode lets you drive on gas only while recharging battery for later use (or whenever you like).
I noticed that this new Escape gets new suspension all around and rear independent subcarrier ...which' along with the HSS chassis, would be perfect to accommodate the added weight of a long-range electric hybrid Escape's battery (in a year or two?).
575 watt Bang & Olufsen 10-speaker sound system is also available. They even now publish multiple distance specs from seats to rear liftgate.
Only thing they went BACKARDS on is road clearance ...about 2" less!!! :doh: :doh2: ...needed to be about 2" MORE!! :rant:(Ford, look at a Subaru AWD!!)
