The Ford Escape Hybrid Was Named One of Consumer Reports’ Best US Vehicles Post

Ford continues to set the standard for automotive innovation and excellence, and the recently refreshed 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid proves it. The Ford Escape has been on a roll lately, with various industry accolades that speak to the crossover’s quality and value.

The recent refresh has already started to receive some major recognition. Vincentric, for example, gave the Escape both Best CPO Value and Best Value in America titles. Meanwhile, Consumer Reports has included the vehicle on its list of recommended models, as well as best hybrid SUVs and best performing hybrid SUVs for less than $35k. 

Consumer Reports is once again heaping praise on the Escape, this time recognizing it as one of the best American vehicles available today. All these accolades speak to the Escape’s strong performance, reliability, and value proposition, making it a compelling choice for drivers in the market for a reliable SUV.

Consumer Reports Heaps Praise on the 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid

Consumer Reports has once again recognized the Ford Escape as one of the best American vehicles on sale today. The consumer organization’s latest list features the top American cars, trucks, and SUVs/crossovers from brands like Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis, a multinational corporation headquartered in Amsterdam. 

Each vehicle on the list has earned CR’s recommended status, determined by extensive road testing, owner satisfaction ratings, safety, and reliability. While not every model on the list is built in the U.S., all vehicles met CR’s high overall score standards. This recognition highlights the continued excellence of American automotive companies and their ability to produce top-quality vehicles.

With a remarkable score of 72 out of 100 given by Consumer Reports, the Escape has proven to be the top choice for consumers looking for a reliable and environmentally-friendly vehicle. Not only did it gain Consumer Reports‘ Green Choice designation for its eco-friendliness, but it also received high marks for its road testing, proving it to be a vehicle of quality and performance.

While its predicted reliability and owner satisfaction scores were only average, its top rankings in other areas make it a top contender in the market. It’s no wonder why the Ford Escape Hybrid is a popular choice among buyers.

The 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid Is Coming Soon!

The much-anticipated 2023 Ford Escape has already garnered significant attention, thanks in no small part to its predicted ratings. However, the highly-awaited refresh of this popular crossover model has hit a small snag. As reported by Ford Authority, production of the new Escape has been temporarily halted due to a software issue that the automaker is currently addressing. 

While it’s unclear at this time when full-scale production will begin, this delay isn’t reducing interest in this much-anticipated crossover.
