Shopping for a Ford Escape ST-Line Elite Hybrid or Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid in Lanham, MD? Choose the One That’s Right for You
The primary difference between these two vehicles has to do with their engine. The Escape Plug-In Hybrid uses an electric battery as the primary power source. In contrast, the Escape ST-Line Elite Hybrid uses gas and electric energy to operate the vehicle.
The plug-in hybrid model only uses gas when the battery runs low. The hybrid model runs primarily on gas but uses electric power when traveling slower. In choosing between these two models, you’ll need to determine whether you want a vehicle that relies mostly on gas power or electricity and then choose the right one for your lifestyle, budget, needs, and preferences.
