The Titanium Premium package, $1,495, adds head-up display and panoramic Vista roof. Among the technologies are Ford’s Co-Pilot360, which includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot information system, lane-keeping system, rear backup camera and auto high-beam dimming. Today’s Titanium tester with the optional 2.0-liter engine seemed pricey at $39,125, but it was loaded with semi-autonomous driving technologies and a flotilla of safety features. Using a 110-volt household plug (Level 1) would take 10-11 hours to fully charge or 3.5 hours with Level 2. The plug-in option, available on SEL and Titanium models, has a Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging port, for home charging. The debut of the plug-in model, with an anticipated 30 miles of battery driving before switching to the gas engine, will be late spring. The briefcase-shape battery (in the standard hybrid) measures less than a third the size of the old Escape Hybrid battery. The liquid-cooled, lithium-ion hybrid battery sits below the floor of the second-row seats. Front-wheel-drive hybrid models have fuel-economy ratings of 44/37/41 mpg city/highway/combined AWD models are 43/37/40 mpg. The gasoline-electric hybrid is sold in two front-wheel-drive levels, starting at $29,460 and $34,745. Starting prices for the gas models, including the $1,195 freight charge from Louisville, Ky., range from $26,080 for the front-drive S with 181-horsepower 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, to $37,630 for the Titanium AWD with the 250-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. The gas engines are paired with eight-speed automatic transmissions and the hybrids use a traditional CVT, or continuously variable automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available on all models for $1,500.
