We got to try out both the 2008 and 2009 Ford Escape hybrid models in the AutoblogGreen garage, and found both to be respectable rides for families who need the room. Kelley Blue Book thinks so, too, and named the 2009 model one of its “2009 Best New Family Vehicles.” The Escape hybrid is rated at 32 mpg for the FWD model, 28 mpg for the 4WD.

KBB included four hybrid models and one diesel car (the Jetta TDI) from five automakers in its list of ten family-friendly vehicles. Toyota and Chevy each had three models selected. The complete list is:

  • 2009 Honda Civic
  • 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  • 2009 Chevy Malibu
  • 2009 VW Jetta SportWagen TDI
  • 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid
  • 2009 Toyota RAV4
  • 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
  • 2009 Chevy Tahoe Hybrid
  • 2009 Chevy Traverse
  • 2009 Honda Odyssey
