* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Ford's hybrid systems have generally improved, but long-term reliability data for this specific 2026 model year is yet to be fully established. Early indications are positive, but some may still have reservations compared to established hybrid brands.
• Maintenance (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Hybrid vehicles typically have slightly more complex powertrains, potentially leading to higher maintenance costs over time, especially for the battery pack. However, routine maintenance is generally on par with other modern vehicles.
• Technology (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  Equipped with Ford's latest SYNC infotainment system, including a large touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features. The digital instrument cluster is also a nice touch.
• Comfort (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The cabin is well-insulated and the ride quality is generally plush, absorbing road imperfections effectively. Seats are supportive for longer journeys, and the Platinum trim adds premium touches.
• Dynamics (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  The Escape Hybrid Platinum offers a smooth and responsive driving experience, with good acceleration from the electric motor assisting the gasoline engine. Handling is competent for a crossover, though not particularly sporty.
