Yes. The FORD ESCAPE is available as a HYBRID or regular vehicle; not all FORD ESCAPES are HYBRIDS.
The hybrid can run on alternative fuels, and the regular one cannot. Wrong! What you are describing is the Flex Fuel Escape. The Escape Hybrid is a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) which uses a battery and an electric motor to supplement the power, and therefore the gas mileage of the gas engine.
Yes, the Ford Escape comes in both regular and hybrid models. Although the hybrid model will generally cost more in the price tag, it will save you more money over the years in gas costs alone.

The price of the Escape Hybrid car depends both on the year and the condition (e.g. used or new). For example, a used 2011 Escape Hybrid car fetches around $25,000.
Traditionally, the Ford Escape Hybrid runs $4,500-$5,000 higher than a non-hybrid. The base 4-cylinder Ford Escape (non-hybrid) runs about $25,000+taxes & fees. If you are looking for saving money on fuel costs with a small truck, the Ford Escape Hybrid is the best. I own one (2006 w/90,000+ miles). Takes 15 gallons of regular fuel (when "bone dry" empty), gets 32+ MPG in traffic. Is not meant for racing, it's meant for fuel savings while hauling a load.
The 2005 Ford Escape has a 8 yr./ 100000 mi. warranty on its hybrid components.
