The 2.0-litre EcoBoost is the superior choice for towing. When equipped with the 4K Tow Package, it offers a 1,814 kg towing capacity, complete with an upgraded cooling system and a shorter final drive ratio. The 2.5-litre Hybrid is strictly limited to a 907 kg capacity.
While the Hybrid possesses decent ground clearance, its front-wheel-drive layout and road-biased tyres limit its off-road capability. It manages unpaved tracks, wet grass, and gravel forecourts adequately, but lacks the traction required for deep mud or steep inclines. For genuine off-road use, source an all-wheel-drive EcoBoost model.
The 2.5-litre Hybrid excels in urban and stop-start traffic, frequently achieving upwards of 45 mpg due to its efficient regenerative braking. However, on prolonged motorway journeys at higher cruising speeds, the electric assistance diminishes, and consumption typically drops to around 35 to 38 mpg.
