2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid

If you look at the majority of the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrids

rivals, you could be forgiven for thinking theres a law saying
hybrids need to look and drive exactly the way most people
expect them to. Thankfully, the Ford Fusion Hybrid doesnt
conform to this stereotype in any way. Instead, it takes the
stunning good looks and superb driving dynamics of the
standard Fusion, but compliments them with a highly fuel
efficient hybrid propulsion system for outstanding mileage
returns.

At the heart of the Fusion is a hybrid system that combines a

2.0-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor that delivers
a combined power rating of 188 net horsepower through a
continuously variable transmission (CVT) that sends power
to the front wheels. Power for the electric motor comes from
a lithium-ion battery pack. EPA fuel economy ratings for the
2015 Fusion Hybrid are 44 mpg in the city , 41 mpg on the
highway and a combined figure of 42 mpg.*

It is also fairly normal for manufacturers to only offer a single,

often very high-specification trim level with their hybrid.
However, the Fusion offers three different trim levels to select
from: S, SE and the top-of-the-line Titanium trim.

The S may effectively be the base model in the Fusion Hybrid

lineup, but it still boats upscale features including: dual-zone
electronic automatic temperature control, a rear-view camera,
active noise cancellation, 17-inch aluminum wheels and Ford
MyKey. The next trim level is SE, which brings the addition of
a ten-way power drivers seat, six-way powered frontpassenger seat and SiriusXM. But the Titanium trim really does
offer a true feeling of luxury with features that include: leathertrimmed sport seats, ten-way powered and heated front seats,
ambient lighting for an upscale interior feel, a premium Sony
audio system with 12 speakers and SYNC with MyFord Touch.

Impressive fuel economy often seems to be all that matters

with some competing hybrids, but the Fusion is the best car in
its class in its standard form and so is the hybrid. As far as
driving and handling are concerned, the Fusion Hybrid offers
an experience that is decidedly more Fusion than hybrid. It
still offers outstanding levels of fuel economy, but it leaves
most of the competition way behind with a forgiving ride that
is still firm enough for sporty handling, but doesnt cause any
of that uncomfortable jarring that can ruin ride quality.

beyond its eye-catching design. You'd be hard-pressed to
find another family car that provides a sharper driving
experience or as great variety of configurations."

Standard safety features for the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid

include anti-lock disc brakes with emergency braking assist,
traction control, stability control, child seat anchors, front
seat-belt pretensioners, rear height adjustable headrests, side
airbags for the front seat, front knee airbags, side curtain
airbags and tire pressure monitoring. Also standard is Ford's
Sync system, which features emergency crash notification.
This setup will automatically dial 911 when paired with a
compatible smart-phone. Ford's MyKey system is also
included; this system can limit certain parameters, such as
top speed and audio volume for teen drivers.

Optional safety gear includes parking sensors, inflatable

seatbelts in the rear, blind-spot monitoring, rear crosstraffic alerts, late departure warning, lane keeping assist,
driver drowsiness detection and a frontal collision
warning system that can prime the brakes.

The Fusion is an IIHS Top Safety Pick, and also gets the
highest "Good" ratings in all but one of its latest set of crash
tests. The NHTSA has awarded the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid
its highest five-star rating for overall safety, partly because of its
extensive list of standard and available safety features.
