2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid Overview
As driving attitudes change, Ford has taken notice and is releasing the all-new 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid which incorporates excellent fuel economy, ample power, fresh styling and fun/interactive technology.
Set for a spring 2009 release, the Fusion Hybrid is the sister car to the Mercury Milan Hybrid and as a midsize sedan has more power than the Prius, Insight and Civic Hybrid. The Fusion Hybrid derives its power from a 2.5-liter, 156-horsepower four-cylinder gas engine, which is paired to a electric motor, combining for 191 net horsepower. Most hybrids can travel up to 25 mph on electricity alone, which is admirable; however, the Fusion Hybrid can travel up to 47 mph on electric power. Not only does the Fusion Hybrid have ample power, but best-in-class fuel economy with 41 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. Now if that doesn’t leave an impression, then the fact that the Fusion Hybrid can travel over 700 miles on a single tank of gas in city driving most certainly will. The Fusion receives better fuel efficiency than its competitors—the Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid. In addition to saving money on gas, but anyone who purchases a Fusion Hybrid is eligible for a tax credit up to $3,400.
Not only is the Fusion Hybrid a miracle under the hood, but the hood and the rest of the exterior have gone through a refresh from previous Fusion models. The tri-bar chrome grille is large, bold and complements the restyled hood, headlights and front bumper. In the interior, the seat fabric is made from recycled materials with leather seating optional. Like many other hybrids, the Fusion Hybrid features the gauge cluster called SmartGauge with EcoGuide that is designed to help you drive as efficiently as possible. The available SYNC™ Communications and Entertainment System allows you to use voice commands to access your music collection by genre, album, artist or song title and operate your Bluetooth®. The optional voice-activated DVD-based navigation system has a 6.5-inch color LCD monitor and a 10GB hard drive that stores photos and music. An optional Sony Sound System features Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound, 390 watts and 12 speakers with two subwoofers giving you optimal sound performance.
Standard 4-wheel disc anti-lock brakes prevent wheel lockup and shorten stopping distances. Six airbags come standard and the new Reverse Sensing System uses ultrasonic waves to help you parallel park in tight spaces. A rear view camera and 911 Assist, which alerts the authorities within seconds after airbag deployment, are standard.
Whether it is excellent fuel economy, top-notch power, fresh exterior styling, cutting-edge technology or a remarkable tax credit, the all-new 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid brings the best of all worlds together for the ultimate driving experience.
