Sharon,

The Interior layout on the regular 08 Escape is the same as the 08 FEH. You should be able to get all the "fit" information you need from any of the non-hybrid models (and they are dime-a-dozen).

The only reason I see to test drive an FEH is to get an introduction to the drivetrain and how the EV portion works and feels. If you can find an older model (05-07) FEH, you can get a very close feel for how the 08 model feels.

As for the 09, I don't think there will be much, if any, change in the interior and only minor changes in the drivetrain feel.
