Is a Ford Escape Hybrid better vs a Prius?
I’ve been considering getting a hybrid for my next vehicle, and I know Priuses are kind of the O.G. when it comes to that. Are they better than a Ford Escape Hybrid?

Prius may be the O.G. when it comes to hybrids, but they’re certainly not the G.O.A.T., especially not with all the new additions to the hybrid playing field. When it comes to the
Ford Escape Hybrid
vs a Prius
, though, you should probably consider more than just the powertrain.You didn’t mention the
Prius Prime
, so we won’t look at the Escape’s PHEV options. Instead, we’ll look at the middle-of-the-pack trim option for both makes:Model | MSRP | Fuel Economy (Combined/city/highway) | Complaints | Recalls |
|---|---|---|---|---|
$31,680 | 41/44/37 | 2 | 0 | |
Toyota Prius XLE | $30,320 | 52/54/50 | 2 | 1 |
Of course, the Prius beats the Escape hands-down for fuel economy, so if that’s your main priority, go for the Prius. However, if you’re looking for fuel economy coupled with an enjoyable, comfortable ride, standard driver-assist features, and more passenger and cargo space, we’d go for the Escape Hybrid.
