For many auto shoppers, fuel efficiency is a top priority when looking for a new vehicle. That’s why Ford has developed fuel-saving technologies, such as hybrid engines, chargeable batteries, and automatic all-wheel drive disconnect. Here are a few models to consider while you’re at your local Ford dealer!
1. 2023 Ford F-150
One of the world’s most popular full-sized pickup trucks also happens to be one of the most fuel efficient when buyers opt for its new hybrid powertrain. At a total of 430 hp and 570 lb-ft of torque, the F-150’s 3.5L V6 hybrid system delivers tremendous performance while helping to earn up to an EPA-rated 25 MPG combined. An electronic 10-speed automatic transmission provides lots of low-end grunt.
When it comes to towing and hauling, the hybrid F-150 is no slouch with its ability to tow up to 12,700 pounds and maximum payload capacity of 1,830 pounds. Impressive practicality continues with the truck’s airy cabin. For instance, an available work surface folds out from the center console and the front seats can be folded flat if you need a comfortable place to sleep while you’re out in the field.
2. 2023 Ford Escape
This sleek compact crossover’s 2.5L inline-4 hybrid system comes in two flavors: a 192-hp variant and a 210-hp plug-in hybrid. While the former promises excellent fuel economy at up to 39 MPG combined, the plug-in uses a 10.7-kWh battery to achieve a combined MPGe of 101. An intelligent all-wheel drive system is available for the 192-hp hybrid and automatically switches to rear-wheel drive in normal conditions to save fuel.
Inside the Escape, you’ll find spacious seating for five people, including 38.9 inches of rear legroom. When the 60/40 split-folding rear seats are down, cargo space expands from 34.4 cubic feet to 60.8 cubic feet. Along with standard dual-zone automatic climate control and an 8-way power driver’s seat, most trims offer heated seats, a panoramic moonroof, and a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system.
3. 2024 Ford Edge
If you need more power and space to go with efficient performance, then the muscular Edge makes for a compelling choice. A hefty 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque is generated by the mid-sized SUV’s standard 2.0L turbo inline-4. There’s also an optional 2.7L twin-turbo V6 that develops 335 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque. Both provide solid highway fuel economies at up to 28 MPG for the inline-4 and 25 MPG for the V6.
Whether you’re in need of a powerful work truck or a versatile family hauler, you can enjoy exceptional efficiency when you go with a Ford. Visit White’s Ford in Urbana, OH today and take any of these models for a test drive!
