2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid

The Ford Fusion plays very aggressively in the already competitive mid-sized sedan arena with other automakers.  The Ford Fusion also offers a wide range of model selections from 20,000$ msrp up to a hybrid version.

The trunk space provides ample space for your every day living.  To give a simple size comparison, it can easily fit 4 full golf club and all your groceries for the weekend.  What really makes the Ford Fusion stand out in the crowd is the Hybrid powertrain.  The Power train is built up of a 2.5 liter engine combined with an electric drive train system working in parallel totaling up to 191 horsepower.  The hybrid power train system offers plenty of power with the extra benefits of fuel costs savings rated at 41 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.  Compared to all the competitive mid-sized sedans on the market, the Ford Fusion Hybrid stands on top of the list for lowest fuel consumption.

The Ford Fusion comes in a non-hybrid version as well, but both drive equally smooth.  With the latest electronic controls technology incorporated into Ford’s hybrid power train system, it is barely noticeable when the power train system switches between full electric mode and engine hybrid mode.

The Ford Fusion interior is also very nice as well.  The hybrid model we tested comes with full leather seats and can easily fit 5 adult passengers.  The dashboard and controls are very nicely laid out and easily accessible.  The Ford Sync infotainment system bundled with the Fusion Hybrid model allows quick access to media, navigation and connectivity to your smart phone.

The MSRP for the fusion hybrid ranges from $27,000 to $34,000, playing very competitively with not just price, but quality of similar hybrid models including the Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata and Buick LaCrosse.  The smooth hybrid power train, cost saving fuel consumption and beautiful interior makes the Ford Fusion one of the top rated vehicles in its class.
