  • Reliability (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    While generally reliable, some owners have reported minor issues with the hybrid system's software or charging. Ford's warranty provides peace of mind, but long-term data is still accumulating for this specific powertrain.
  • Maintenance (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Routine maintenance costs are typical for a hybrid SUV, with the added benefit of potentially lower fuel costs. The plug-in hybrid system adds a layer of complexity, but service intervals are reasonable.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system is user-friendly, but some of the advanced driver-assistance features can be a bit finicky. Connectivity options are good, but the screen size could be larger for a modern vehicle.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The interior is spacious and comfortable for its class, with supportive seats and good visibility. Road and wind noise are well-managed, contributing to a pleasant long-distance driving experience.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid SEL offers a smooth and composed ride, with adequate power for daily driving. While not a sports car, it handles predictably and feels stable on the highway.

2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid: A Detailed Overview

The 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) offers a compelling blend of fuel efficiency, practicality, and modern technology, making it an attractive option for those seeking to reduce their reliance on gasoline without sacrificing the versatility of an SUV. This detailed overview delves into its key features, ownership experience, and potential considerations.

Highlights

  • Engine and Performance: At the heart of the Escape PHEV is a sophisticated powertrain consisting of a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and a significant battery pack. This combination delivers a robust 221 combined horsepower, providing brisk acceleration for everyday driving. The PHEV system allows for all-electric driving for an EPA-estimated 37 miles, ideal for short commutes and errands. When the battery is depleted, the gasoline engine seamlessly kicks in, offering a total driving range that alleviates range anxiety. The PHEV is exclusively front-wheel drive.

  • Safety Features: Ford equips the 2022 Escape PHEV with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) designed to enhance safety and confidence. Key features include:

    • Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking: Detects potential frontal collisions with vehicles and pedestrians and can automatically apply the brakes if the driver doesn't react in time.
    • Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert: Monitors the blind spots on either side of the vehicle and alerts the driver if another vehicle is detected. Cross-traffic alert warns of approaching vehicles when backing out of a parking spot.
    • Lane-Keeping System: Includes Lane-Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Driver Alert. This system helps prevent unintentional drifting out of a lane by providing steering assistance and alerts.
    • Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and automatically adjusts it to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic.
    • Rear View Camera: Provides a clear view behind the vehicle when reversing.
  • Trims: The 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is offered in a single, well-appointed trim level:

    • Escape Plug-In Hybrid: This trim comes generously equipped as standard. Notable features include 18-inch aluminum wheels, LED headlights and taillights, a power liftgate, a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, dual-zone automatic climate control, and the aforementioned suite of Ford Co-Pilot360™ safety technologies.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Charging Flexibility: The Escape PHEV can be charged using a standard 120V outlet (Level 1 charging), which is slower but convenient for overnight charging. For faster charging, a 240V outlet (Level 2 charging) is recommended, allowing for a full charge in approximately 3.5 hours. Public charging stations often utilize Level 2 or higher.
    • Practical Interior: The interior offers a comfortable and practical space for five passengers. The rear seats can slide and recline, providing flexibility for cargo or passenger legroom. Cargo space is competitive for the segment, though the battery pack does slightly reduce the overall capacity compared to non-hybrid Escapes.
    • User-Friendly Technology: The large central touchscreen is intuitive and responsive, providing access to infotainment, navigation, and vehicle settings. The digital instrument cluster can be customized to display a variety of information, including energy usage and driving modes.

What to Expect

Ownership Experience: The 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid is designed for a smooth and efficient driving experience. The transition between electric and gasoline power is generally seamless, contributing to a quiet and refined cabin. The all-electric range is particularly beneficial for daily commutes, allowing many owners to drive without using gasoline for most of their week. The elevated driving position typical of SUVs provides good visibility, and the comfortable ride quality makes it suitable for longer journeys.

Maintenance: As a plug-in hybrid, the Escape PHEV will have some differences in maintenance compared to a traditional gasoline vehicle. Routine maintenance will still involve oil changes for the gasoline engine, tire rotations, and brake checks. However, the regenerative braking system, which captures energy when decelerating to recharge the battery, can help reduce wear on the conventional brake pads. The electric motor and battery pack are generally low-maintenance, but it's essential to follow Ford's recommended service schedule to ensure the longevity of these components. Hybrid-specific components might require specialized knowledge for repair, so choosing a dealership or reputable independent mechanic familiar with hybrids is advisable.

Insurance: Insurance costs for the 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid are likely to be comparable to or slightly higher than a similarly equipped gasoline-powered compact SUV. Factors influencing insurance premiums include the vehicle's advanced technology, safety features, and the potential cost of repairing hybrid-specific components. It's always recommended to obtain insurance quotes from multiple providers when considering purchasing any new vehicle.

Potential Considerations

  • Limited Electric-Only Top Speed: While the Escape PHEV can travel up to 37 miles on electric power, its electric-only top speed is capped, meaning the gasoline engine will engage for higher-speed highway cruising or hard acceleration even when the battery has charge.
  • No All-Wheel Drive: For 2022, the Escape Plug-In Hybrid is exclusively offered in a front-wheel-drive configuration. Buyers seeking all-wheel drive for enhanced traction in adverse weather conditions will need to consider other Escape models.
  • Cargo Space Compromise: While still practical, the battery pack positioned under the rear floor does result in slightly less cargo volume compared to non-hybrid Escape models. This might be a factor for those who frequently haul large or bulky items.
  • Charging Infrastructure: While charging at home is convenient, the availability and reliability of public charging stations can vary depending on your location. Planning longer trips may require understanding charging station availability along your route.

Overall Summary

The 2022 Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid stands out as a highly competent and practical compact SUV for those looking to embrace electrification. Its substantial all-electric range, combined with the efficiency of its hybrid powertrain, makes it an excellent choice for daily driving and reducing fuel costs. The generous standard safety features and comfortable, well-equipped interior further enhance its appeal. While the lack of all-wheel drive and a slight reduction in cargo space are points to consider, the Escape PHEV offers a compelling package that successfully balances efficiency, utility, and modern technology in the competitive SUV market.
