Ford Escape Hybrid
MSRP: $21,880 – $27,445
MPG: 34 City / 30 Hwy

The Ford Escape Hybrid is among the top three by merging the utility and serviceability of the gas-only Escape with a fuel-sipping hybrid power train.  Commentators like its muscular exterior and contented seats, but criticize about swollen managing and the lack of stability control.

Mercury Mariner Hybrid
MSRP: $23,310 – $29,920
MPG: 34 City / 30 Hwy

The Mercury Mariner hybrid has all the strengths and weaknesses of the Ford, but with a more refined interior.  Regrettably it is costly also. But still, commentators love the balance of standard features. But they’re not as beguiled with the Mariner Hybrid’s baggy handling.
