Ford Kuga/Escape Plug-In Hybrid - electric range test 

Thank you! And yes, indeed, it is an excellent car.

my best result was 90 km with a sigle charge before petrol engine start . I made a trip of 97 km with 0.4 litre/100km avaradge fuel consumption. Same trip turning back with empty battery with 3.5 litre/100km. So i suppose a charge in that kind of trip is like 3 litres of gasoline.

@@fofo1999tcs wooow, impresive! Is that range of 90km in the city? I am still waiting to take the car, so I am positivly shocked with your great result!

@@miodragzivanovic9922 mostly suburban road, 60-70 km/h . Few traffic lights, many roundabouts therefore with long slowdowns. Very light foot.

@@fofo1999tcs Woow, one more like for it! Sounds great. You just set EV mode, right? I hope next week I will take the car and try it :)

Thanks!

Thanks Stefan. Winter range is definitely less than in summer. However, the big difference between those two PHEV (at least here with the european spec, I don't know about the spec in Canada) is the heating. Tucson is heating the interior by using the engine, so even if you want to drive in EV mode but the heating is on the engine will start to produce heat, whereas with the Escape it takes the energy for heating off the battery down to 5% SOC when driving in EV-Mode, which at the end will have a massive impact on the consumption. Vehicle-wise I prefer the looks of the Tucson, quality I haven't noticed much difference. But for economy I personally would always go with the Escape. If you have seen both my test (Tucson and Escape) I have also done fuel economy tests with empty battery, and there the Escape is almost 25% better than the Tucson.

@@ecodriver1746 Thank you again for your time and advise, really appreciate! I’m leaning more towards the escape fuel economy and the price is a bit lower, at least here.

@@ecodriver1746 Based on your review for both Escape and Tucson , are pretty close in terms of ev range, escape at 78 km and Tucson at 74 km so not a big difference; from this two witch one has a better acceleration and torque in your opinion, that’s something important for me since I cannot test drive this cars before placing a factory order. Thanks

One major difference in EV-Mode is that Tucson stays in EV-Mode even if you accelerate hard, whereas the Escape starts the engine in order to support power. For me (and this is only my personal opinion) this doesn't matter, as I am normally driving very economically so the petrol engine would stay out most of the time, but I guess if you like hard accelerations the Tucson is more for you. I also do regular longer trips where the petrol engine would do more of the work so - again, personally - I'd lean towards the Escape.
