Engine Specifications
What makes the Ford Escape Hybrid different from the regular Ford escape is that the 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid is driven by 2.3L I4
Atkinson cycle engine and an electric motor powered by a nickel-metal-hydride battery pack. The displacement on this engine is 2.3L (140
CID) with 133 hp at 6,000 rpm, and 155 hp for the combined electric and gasoline motor. With a compression ratio of 12.4 and torque of 124
lb.ft. at 4250 rpm, abot 26 lb.ft. less than the Ford Escape. The Hybrid does 36 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and 31 mpg on the
highway. The increased efficiency in the city (stop and go traffic) is due to the ability of the Ford Escape Hybrid to switch to pure
electric power when either going at a slow speed or stopping. It seems that a dynamo converts energy during highway miles to provide
electric energy for the city powers the batteries. This ability breaking edge technology allows the Ford Escape Hybrid to do up to 500
miles on one tank of gas (about 15 gallons).
