3 Eco-Friendly Ford Models to Consider

If you’re in the market for a new vehicle but are concerned about how your purchase will affect the environment, consider one from the Ford lineup. The legendary manufacturer offers several eco-friendly models that don’t sacrifice style and performance. Here are three to consider.

2020 Fusion Hybrid SE

The 2020 Fusion Hybrid SE is just as sleek and stylish as the conventional version of this popular midsize sedan. Eye-catching exterior features include a five-bar grille with chrome finish, single exhaust tip, and automatic halogen headlights. You can choose from a stunning array of colors like White Platinum, Rapid Red, and Alto Blue. Inside, you’ll find comfortable soft-touch seating for five and amenities like a 10-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support.

With Ford’s SYNC 3 system, you’ll have access to SiriusXM radio and traffic. The system is also compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Under the hood of the Fusion Hybrid SE is a hybrid 2.0-liter i-VCT Atkinson-cycle engine and an 88-kilowatt electric motor. This dynamic duo produces 141 horsepower and 129 pound-feet of torque. It gives the Fusion Hybrid SE a fuel-efficiency rating of 43 miles per gallon in the city and 41 on the highway.

2020 Escape SE Sport Hybrid

With the 2020 Escape SE Sport Hybrid, you get an eco-friendly SUV that is ready for all of your adventures. Equipped with a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle I-4 engine and an 88-kilowatt electric motor, the SE Sport Hybrid can tow up to 3,500 pounds. While it’s powerful, the SUV is also efficient, with a combined mile-per-gallon rating of 40.

The SE Sport Hybrid’s design is just as impressive as its performance. Its rugged exterior is enhanced by features like dual chrome exhaust tips, a distinctive rear spoiler, and 19-inch machined-face aluminum wheels with ebony-painted pockets. Because the SE Sport Hybrid’s battery is underneath the vehicle, instead of inside it, it has a more spacious cabin than other hybrid SUVs on the market. Second-row passengers can enjoy 40.7 inches of personal space. You can reconfigure the split-folding seats to accommodate all sorts of cargo.

2020 EcoSport SE

While the 2020 EcoSport SE is a conventional SUV, its impressive technology enables it to be efficient and eco-friendly. The standard 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 123 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque. It enables the EcoSport to tow up to 1,400 pounds while giving it a combined fuel-efficiency rating of 28 miles per gallon. A 166-horsepower, 2.0-liter Ti-VCT engine is also available. It gives the EcoSport a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds and a combined mpg of 25.

Both engines feature start-stop technology. This innovative feature automatically shuts off the engine when the SUV comes to a stop. The engine restarts as soon as you release the brake pedal. The EcoSport’s compact and stylishly streamlined exterior also makes it a more efficient vehicle. Inside, you’ll find amenities like a SYNC 3 eight-inch touch screen, power moonroof, and electronic automatic temperature control.
