    Sad news. It was the highest mileage AWD available, beating out the Lexus RX450 and Highlander and for a solid $10K less.

    Just sold my 2009 Escape Hybrid AWD to get a Prius.

    Ford doesn't look to be offering an AWD hybrid at all. The new C-MAX doesn't offer an AWD version.

    I think he was looking at an older Escape Hybrid. Big model change at 2009(?) so I didn't chime in.

    I loved mine. Great vehicle. Super snow mobile with AWD and Nokian's. Liked the Nokian's so much I thought the Prius/FWD with Traction and Stability could probably do the job with 20 more miles per gallon.
