EPA Rating: 36 City / 31 Highway

The Ford Escape Hybrid tops the EPA's 2005 fuel economy ratings list for sport utility vehicles.

If you like the conventional Ford Escape with a 200hp V-6, you'll love the Escape Hybrid. And what's not to like about an SUV that gets 40-mpg in stop and go driving (more than the EPA ratings) and goes 500 miles between fill-ups? Read our full 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid Review to find out if you should put a look at this compact SUV on your to-do list.

If you need a 4WD version of the Escape Hybrid, you'll be glad to hear it rates in at 33 city / 29 highway.
