Ford Escape
Still a household name in Canada, the Ford Escape compact SUV is now available with four different powertrain options. The latest to hit the market is a plug-in hybrid providing just over 60 kilometres of EV range. Ford also offers a regular hybrid as well as turbocharged three- and four-cylinder gasoline engines. Competition in this market segment is quite fierce, but the Escape is able to meet the needs of many drivers.
