New and upcoming hybrids

Ford Escape Hybrid The Escape Hybrid's 34/30 rating is impressive, especially next to the Saturn Vue Green Line. When equipped with four-wheel drive, which the Saturn hybrid doesn't offer, fuel economy drops a bit to 29/27, not bad considering it weighs the same as the front-drive Vue. The Escape (and sister Mercury Mariner) has been criticized lately for trailing the competition in terms of design, features and fit and finish, so look for a new model soon.
