The Ford Escape ST-Line PHEV is like a gym junkie who secretly does yoga—quick enough, but happiest gliding in silence around town. Its plug-in setup delivers genuinely useful electric-only range for school runs and errands, and when the battery’s flat it still cruises efficiently rather than sulking. The chassis is nicely sorted for a family SUV, with steering that hasn’t been dipped in marshmallow, though the cabin tech feels a touch last-decade. Downsides? The boot gives up a bit to the battery, it’s front-drive only, and the petrol engine gets grumbly if you ghost the charging cable. Keep it topped up at home and it’s a wallet-friendly commuter; treat it like a never-plugged hybrid and you’ve missed the point. Shame it bowed out locally, because as an urban all-rounder it’s quietly brilliant.
