2021 Ford Escape SEL Hybrid - A quick look at the SEL Escape Hybrid 

And they're only getting started - plugin Escape is out now and the tech is only going to improve with time

Wow that's awesome, thanks so much! Glad you love the videos

Yeah I do! I also have a question what's the difference between the hybrid version and the normal escape? Edit: can do a video comparing the 2019 Ford escape trim models?

@@EpC_23 Good question! The hybrid has a 2.5L non turbo engine and an electric motor while the regular Escape has a turbocharged engine in it. The hybrid has a plugin and non plug in version. Both vehicles are the same size and the trim but you can't get the base S Escape as a hybrid For a 2019 I'd have to hunt those cars down which may be a bit of a challenge. Is there anything specific you wanted to know about the 2019 models?

How much HP does the non hybrid escape have? Also it is called "hybrid" does it mean it can switch between gas and electric? Finally, does the 2019 sel have the outlet at 4:46 in the video?

@@EpC_23 The 1.5L EcoBoost has 181 hp / 190 lb-ft torque and the 2.0L EcoBoost has 250 hp / 280 lb-ft torque Hybrid does mean that it can move between gas and electric mode - it switches between the 2 modes automatically as you drive! I believe the 2019 Escape has the 150w power point (traditional wall outlet) back there

Compare the 2020+ model with the early 2000's version. Night and day difference :P

@@CarsWithSteve Hi. Thanks for replying. I think it was a new one. I even asked the owner what it was. I know some will say I am crazy but it looked European. Beautiful.

​@@agustinmoralesrodriguez1242 Rounded corners, sleek look, upgraded badges... European is a great way to put it!

Thanks 🙏

Steve, I just bought a 2021 Ford Escape SEL Hybrid yesterday in big part because of this video. Thank you so much! I am even going to email it to the salesperson. She said she’s use it.

@@TimGriffiths1 Wow glad the video helped you figure out it was the right fit for you! Appreciate the share and hope that you love the new ride

Hey Sheri! I'll add that to the list of videos to shoot! May take a few weeks to organize it but I'll make it happen

@@CarsWithSteve you’re the BEST!!!! Thanks so much! I appreciate your attention to detail in all your car reviews and look forward to this.

@@theoriginalsherifa You're welcome and thank you so much!

The Escape is pretty popular and for the price the SEL is a good value

Curious, is it a noise that's just at low speeds or do you notice it all the time regardless of how fast you're going? Does the noise happen all the time or just for the first minute after starting it up?

You always have the option of purchasing a maintenance package when you buy your Escape so that the regular maintenance is taken care of. I find that not enough people regularly maintain their cars and wonder why things break down

Check out the 12:15 mark - I point out the button for the parking brake and the Auto Hold is in the cluster screen. I don't explain the features in depth in this video but I put together a full walkaround of the Hybrid Titanium that explains both - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lKUkmgLjuos.html

Thanks!
