The Mercury Mariner Hybrid
|
Unlike the Ford Escape Hybrid, the Mercury Mariner Hybrid is only available with All-Wheel-Drive. Due to this, the 2WD Escape Hybrid takes top honours as the most fuel-efficient SUV. The Mariner Hybrid SUV is about $4,000 more than an All-Wheel-Drive non-hybrid version. This additional price includes other features beyond the hybrid drivetrain.
