			The design of the [[Ford Escape]] is clean, not likely to look outdated within just a few years. Visually, the Escape Hybrid is barely changed from the standard Escape, and most people won't even notice anything different. There are small Hybrid badges just behind the front wheels and also on the rear hatch. The hybrid also has a vent built into its left rear quarter-panel glass; this vent helps cool the battery pack. Standard fog lamps set toward the outside portion of the lower front fascia provide a nice balance to the car's face and visually widen the Escape Hybrid's stance. The Escape Hybrid has a two-tone appearance, with body panels and lower fascia in complementary colors. Five-spoke alloy wheels are 16 inches in diameter and wear 235/70-aspect tires tuned to provide a smooth and comfortable ride, not for severe off-road duty. One very useful exterior feature is the glass backlight opens separately from the rear hatch door, aiding to load or unload small packages.

	The Escape Hybrid's optional Energy system provides instant fuel economy on a thermometer-style image at the left side of the display screen with your average economy and a stock market-style chart of fuel use for the last 15 minutes filling most of the screen. By paying some attention to the screen, you find yourself trying to get better and better fuel economy. Ford notes that the Escape Hybrid qualifies for super-low (SULEV) or advanced technology partial-zero (ATPZEV) emission vehicle status.

	The [[Ford Escape Hybrid]] is unique among hybrid vehicles in that its battery pack comprises a tray of what appear to be dozens ~~and~~ dozens of C cells, except they are [[Battery Technology\|Nickel-metal hydride]] (NI-MH) batteries which provide 330 volts of power, equivalent to 87 horsepower. The battery pack is in a sealed box located beneath the rear cargo floor and does not intrude on the Escape's cargo-carrying capability. The battery pack is warranted for eight years or 100,000 miles.

	The batteries do add some weight to the rear of the vehicle, but in the case of the Escape that weight makes the hybrid better balanced than the standard [[V6]] Escape. The Escape [[V6]] has 61 percent of its mass carried by the front wheels. The Escape Hybrid is slightly better balanced, with only 57 percent of its weight out in front. That means more neutral handling, flatter cornering and improved braking characteristics. This should provide better maneuverability in emergency situations and enhance front tire and brake wear as well.

	In 2004, the [[Ford Escape Hybrid]] was released. This model is 75% more fuel-efficient than the regular Escape according to Environmental Protection Agency tests and was the first [[SUV]] available to the public with hybrid technology. Most reviewers weren't lenient with the Escape Hybrid to see what kind of fuel mileage it would deliver. Most drove it like they would drive any other vehicle, and averaged better than 35 miles per gallon around town. That bests even the 4 cylinder powered [[Escape]] which is rated at 22 mpg in town and 25 on the highway.		In 2004, the [[Ford Escape Hybrid]] was released.
