Ford Escape hybrid SUV 2008

The Ford Escape Hybrid was the first hybrid SUV to enter the market, and for 2008, it's still the most fuel-efficient.Although its again not without much of its compromises, the new 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid is worth a look if you want to do right by the planet but don't want to give up the day-to-day convenience of owning an SUV.
The engine in the 2008 Escape Hybrid is a 155hp 2.3L four cylinder which, like pretty much every other strong hybrid on the road, uses the Atkinson cycle. Originally devised in the late nineteenth century in an attempt to get around Karl Otto's patents, the modern interpretations of the Atkinson rely on the camshaft timing to achieve a larger expansion ratio than the compression ratio.
