Car :-Ford Escape Hybrid

The Ford Escape hybrid had its day in the limelight, when it debuted in mid-2004 as the first American-made hybrid and the first SUV hybrid.
A SUV that could boast more than 30 mpg was certainly deserving of recognition. Never mind that actual mileage has been running in the mid 20s for many owners, that Ford is only producing 20,000 units, or that the company abandoned its commitment to significantly bump up the fuel economy of its fleet. They were indeed the first to produce a SUV hybrid, and they deserve a pat on the back. And it did win the "Truck of the Year Award" at the 2005 International Auto Show in Detroit.
More than two years later, the SUV hybrid category is starting to get crowded. The Lexus Rx400h and Toyota Highlander Hybrid—essentially the same hybrid system in two different skins—have stolen the Escape’s thunder. The Escape lacks the luxury features of the Rx400h, and lacks the power and seating capacity of the Highlander Hybrid.
