Pls check if there are competent mechanics in ur area who can handle that kind of hybrid vehicle... If that vehicle breaks down in an area where you can only get a kazeem, that's surely the beginning of the end of the car.. A regular Ford isn't a very reliable vehicle, talk less of a hybrid one..

Also do a market survey of the availability and price of that vehicle's spare parts, especially the car's hybrid battery to know if you can comfortably afford them...

Don't let the quest for "low fuel consumption" push you into buying a car whose maintenance and part replacement costs will cost you many times the funds you may have saved on fuel...

Pls ask the Corolla crew ..... That's how they are looking for low fuel consumption upandan and end up buying cars that they can't park anywhere without having high blood pressure for fear of it being stolen ... And the funny thing is the place a V6 accord will take you with 1k fuel, that corolla will take you there with 700 or 800 naira fuel, other things being equal.... Now is that extra 200 or 300 naira savings worth all the high bp for fear of theft or vandalism of the vehicle, and the alternative amount spent on comprehensive insurance against theft and vandalism

Don't be penny wise and pound foolish Bros .... Fuel consumption isn't the beginning and end of vehicles...

Op go ahead and and get the ride.

These people discouraging you for will all rush to grab a Tesla if you dashed them the cash.

Hybrids electric system fails but not often and not within short miles in most occasions. Just don’t drive through flood and your hybrid system will last to 300,000miles

Well since you are hell bent on buying the escape hybrid I would give you a short version of my opinion

The Ford escape hybrid debuted in 05 and ran to 07 for US and canada.

The hybrid system has a remarkable resemblance to the Toyota hybrid system but Ford built it from scratch when they noticed it was identical to Toyota system to avoid lawsuit they went to Toyota for patent sharing, they gave something of theirs inorder for Toyota to look the other way.

in essence the system looks exactly like Toyota own but wasn't built or certified by toyota engineers.

Now if I was to buy the escape I would pick one manufactured in 06 or 07 because 05 was the first year and first ever hybrid from Ford so they would have perfected some experiment done in 05 for 06 and 07 model year.

The hybrid uses the 2.3L MZR engine made by Mazda. Ford calls it the duratec engine added to it is an electric motor. Now the Engine is fitted into Mazda B-series, Mazda MPV, Ford focus, Ford ranger. Not only these cars but with this one's I can say the 2.3L duratec shouldn't give you an headache that much.

Hybrid is a bit complicated than normal Otto engine, so you have to take care of it and utilize quality parts, brakes, fluids and drive train belts.
