If you don't want to pay the entry fee for the Ford Escape Hybrid but still want a sport-utility vehicle, consider the Toyota RAV4. This vehicle's relatively light weight and small size, combined with an efficient four-cylinder engine that also does duty in the Camry, makes for fuel economy you might not expect from an SUV.
Jalopnik - New York
Treehugger reports on the the first of New Yawk's hybrid-drive taxis, which quietly rolled on to the city's rutted asphalt via a gold-paved boulevard of local cost incentives last week. The six Ford Escape hybrids, which will be joined by 12 more by Thanksgiving, were feted by environmentalists, city officials and their owners, who received a $170,000 discount off the price of each medallion ($300,000 as of last year) to offset the "hybrid premium," by oh, around 500 times. Ok ok, considering the hybrids will be called on to travel 100,000 miles a year, mainly slamming from pothole to raised roadway piling and back, owners are taking somewhat of a risk on maintenance.

Ford owns a controlling interest in Mazda, which accounts for the close kinship between the popular Ford Escape sport utility vehicle and the related Mazda Tribute. Both SUVs were introduced for the 2001 model year.
2002 Kia Sportage
The payoff for this trucklike ride is greater off-road capability: Sportage 4x4 models use a traditional part-time four-wheel-drive system that is better suited for muddy terrain than an all-wheel-drive system, such as that found in the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute. Sportage 4x4 models are also equipped with a low-range transfer case for when the going really gets tough. This enables the Sportage to go places unreachable in a CR-V, Escape or Tribute. The rougher the terrain, the more of an advantage the Sportage offers.

CR-V sales are very strong, with only the Ford Escape outselling it. The outside spare wheel sits beyond the rear bumper, and will bend the rear door and break the glass upon impact. Good resale value.
2005 Kia Sportage
Most vehicles in this segment are powered by four-cylinder engines and consequently tend to be underpowered, especially with automatic transmission and 4WD. The answer is a larger V6 engine, as offered in the Ford Escape and Jeep Liberty.
CanadianDriver's New Car Buyer's Guide: GMC Jimmy
The Jimmy and Blazer are being discontinued due to lacklustre sales, and part of that had to be ascribed to the competition: the Jeep TJ and Liberty, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape all offer a level of finesse that the GM offerings don't.
Nash Rambler's Product Reviews
The Mercury Mariner debuts this year, bringing distinct Mercury styling and an upgraded interior to the successful Ford Escape platform. Available in front- or four-wheel-drive, the Mariner offers a four-cylinder or V6 engine choice, the gussied up Mariner will probably make more on-road maneuvers that true offroading, but look good doing it. Look for a gas-electric hybrid version in 2006.
