Would you buy an Escape Hybrid / PHEV again?

Recommended Posts

My little red 2014 Lincoln MKZ with 116K is thinking about retiring. Unfortunately, since Ford doesn't build any cars anymore, except for the Mustang, I'm considering buying one of their trucks, probably the Escape Hybrid / PHEV. I currently work as a valet at a Lincoln dealer and while the Corsair, the gussied yup Escape, is nice, it's not $55K-$60K nice. Not to mention my MKZ gets better mileage and rides nicer.

So, to any Escape Hybrid / PHEV owners, would you buy one again? Is the Titantium/Platinum version worth the extra bucks? Is the PHEV a Titanium/Platinum trim level to start? I'll probably try to buy an off lease model as new one are, in my opinion, grossly over priced.

Thank you.

I traded my 2019 Fusion PHEV for a 2022 Escape Titanium PHEV for the increased EV range and utility.  I'm delighted with it.  I am very glad that I have the Titanium because if has, among other things, heated seats and steering wheel AND Ford 360+ driver assist features.  Note the "+".  Its lane CENTERING is fantastic, along with INTELLIGENT cruise control - automatically adjusts vehicle speed to the changing speed limit.  I also prefer the 2022 to the 2023, because the HVAC controls are physical, not buried in the touchscreen.
