What I want and what I need are too different things. And to answer your question Kakomu... it has all the torque you would expect from an SUV thanks to the gas engine hince the Hybrid promise
the gas engine doesn't connect to the drive train. The gas engine powers the Electric engine.
I took a trip to edmunds to check it out. It makes about 129 ft-lbs of torque and only 131 hp. meaning it has roughly the same amount of power as my Honda Civic and nearly 1300 more lbs of weight...
It's great that you want to save on gas and the environment and get an hybrid, but the Escape is weak. You might as well just grab an hybrid CIvic
