Four wheel Escape hybrid drive is comparable to an Accord and on the highway about the same as CR-V. That if you are not prejudice to drive Japanese moniker and pay less for a car.

They are currently testing the Hyseries tech (Li-ion batt and fuell cell) in an Edge. I think the fuel cell is for the future but if all goes well with the plug in system expect an ICE to replace the fuel cell. Notice it's also series hybrid like GM Chevy Volt.

What's Japan got for me? Absolutely nothing. Ford has the hybrid smaller ute which is the most efficient SUV sold in the US period. More efficient than a Highlander Hybrid. GM has a hybrid full-size ute that gets better City MPGs than a Camry 4cyl. The 2-mode Vue may threaten Escape's lead. Malibu was rated a more cost-efficient hybrid than Camry. GM sells countless hybrid buses and other commercial vehicles. GM's 2-mode system is far more flexible than HSD is and can be put in more applications with better returns. The design is also more space efficient, packaging the whole thing into a CVT. Toyota may have started the hybrid craze but GM and Ford are running faster with it.
