Hi there,
Could someone please provide me with the exact distance from the ground up to the driver's seat cushion for the Escape hybrid ('09 preferably) please?
Thanks!

 

Distance from the ground or from the inside floor pan to the seat?

 

From the ground.
Thanks!

 

My '09 awd is about 28 inches to the front of the seat (the highest part). This is a power seat tho so it could easily go up and down 2 full inches from top to bottom as well.

 

Hi Rick, thanks for the info!
Do you think the seat would reach 30 inches if positioned in the 'all the way up' position?
Thanks again.

 

Very possibly since I don't have it cranked up that high. I'm already tall enough.

I suspect 29 inches is easy. Will try to measure tonight, leaving town now.

 

I got a little less than 31 inches to the top of the front of the drivers seat with the seat all the way up.

 

Thank you so much for your help!
Are you happy with your '09 escape hybrid? I'm hoping pressure on the market will adjust finance rates in my favour to allow for such a purchase. I would gladly welcome your input on the vehicle.

 

Where do you live? The supply and demand of this vehicle favors the sellers--dealers. So one can not expect "discounts" off the list price. There is a long waiting list to obtain one unless you are from California which receives a majority of the initial builds.

 

I'm enjoying it a lot more than my Rav4. AWD seems better designed and am enjoying the fact it's more plush than Toyota's version of the Limited.

Although a much greener and plusher vehicle, it's not going to pay for itself.
