A larger gas engine, improved aerodynamics, and better fuel economy.

These are a few new features of the 2009 ford Escape Hybrid.  And not only that, but the Escape Hybrid will now be available in a new Luxury Limited Edition model.

The Ford Escape Hybrid is rated at 34 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway, increasing it's mileage over the 2008 model year by an average of 1 mile per gallon.  On the other hand, the four-wheel drive model will get 29 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway, acheiving better city mileage because of the use of the electric motor at low in-town speeds.

The new prices for the Ford Escape Hybrid range from $28,305 for the front wheel drive model, to $32,385 for the all-wheel drive limited edition model.
