While the entry-level Escape costs $37,990 plus on-road costs and the mid-spec ST-Line $42,990 +ORC, the Escape PHEV asks $54,940 +ORC (or around $60,500 drive away) – that’s despite being based on the ST-Line and not the top-spec Vignale, which is priced from $48,590 +ORC. In Australia, we have the Ford Escape, Peugeot 3008, Mitsubishi Outlander and MG HS offered as plug-in hybrid mid-size SUVs – yet elsewhere in the world, plug-in hybrid versions of the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Volkswagen Tiguan, Toyota RAV4 and even the Citroen C5 Aircross are offered. Plug-in hybrids are definitely something that is yet to take off in Australia, and a look at European and North American automotive catalogues proves just that. We tested the only current PHEV in Ford’s lineup – the 2022 Ford Escape ST-Line Plug-In Hybrid – to see how the technology fares in a mid-sized SUV. Perhaps that’s due to lack of choice, though there are more PHEV cars launching locally this year. Although once positioned as a great way to combine electric around town driving with the ability to travel long distances away from cities like a regular ICE-powered car, it’s clear that the plug-in hybrid is yet to catch on in Australia.
Of the 1,089,429 cars sold in Australia in 2022, only 5,937 of them were plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) – that’s a lot less than the 18,824 electric cars sold.
