The
Fusion Hybrid’s EPA-estimated gas mileage leaves
our foreign competition at a loss for words. It
can go over 700 miles between fillups, which for
the average commuter translates into a stop at
the pump once a month.* And our standard I-4
engine gets 34 mpg highway, the most
fuel-efficient non-hybrid mid-size sedan on the
road.† Either way, driving a Fusion makes a
statement. You care about the environment.
Class-leading
Fuel Economy
An increase in power once meant a decrease in
economy. Not anymore. Take the new 2010 mid-size
Fusion. The 2.5L Duratec I-4 engine delivers
higher power ratings of 175 horsepower and 172
lbs./ft. of torque. It also puts Fusion at the
head of its class in fuel economy with
EPA-estimated 23 City/34 Hwy/27 Combined mpg.*
And imagine getting 41 miles per gallon and
being able to travel over 700 miles on a single
tank of gas – in city traffic. That’s the kind
of mileage you can expect to achieve in an
all-new Fusion Hybrid, the most fuel-efficient
hybrid sedan in its class. No compromise –
expect nothing less in a Ford Fusion.
Hybrid Powertrain
Fusion Hybrid propulsion is supplied by a
combination of two sources: an electric motor
powered by an innovative nickel-metal hydride
(NiMH) battery, and the next generation of the
2.5L Atkinson-Cycle I-4 gas engine which
features late intake valve closing (iVCT) as
well as advancements in processor technology for
seamless transition from electric to gas mode .
The electric motor can propel Fusion Hybrid up
to 47 miles per hour in Electric Vehicle mode,
faster than any other hybrid vehicle. The gas
engine provides the power after 47 miles per
hour and when needed, such as quick acceleration
situations and hill climbing. Combined power
rating of the electric motor and gas engine is
191 net horsepower. Fusion Hybrid delivers
plenty of power. And best of all, it’s the most
fuel-efficient hybrid sedan in America.*
Flex Fuel
Capability
The available 3.0L Duratec V6 has been updated
and puts out more than 19 more horsepower than
last year’s 3.0L Duratec. What’s more, it now
has Flex Fuel capability. You can run on
unleaded gasoline, E85 (up to 85% ethanol and
15% gasoline) or any mix of the two. So you can
fill up wherever you are, even if E85 isn't
readily available.
47 MPH in EV Mode
Fusion Hybrid can go up to 47 miles per hour in
Electric Vehicle (EV) mode. No other hybrid
vehicle can match this top speed in EV mode.
This helps Fusion Hybrid achieve a class-leading
41 miles per gallon in city traffic and over 700
miles on a single tank of gas.* And that’s an
important fact well worth considering when
investing in a hybrid vehicle
Easy Fuel™ Filler
System
The standard Easy Fuel™ capless fuel filler has
an integrated spring-loaded door that allows you
to simply insert the fuel nozzle into the tank
to fill up. No screw cap is required. And
because Easy Fuel™ automatically seals after the
fuel nozzle is removed, fewer evaporative
emissions are released into the environment.
Regenerative
Braking
When you apply the brakes in a conventional
vehicle, kinetic energy is lost to heat due to
friction. During braking in the Fusion Hybrid,
the regenerative braking system captures 94
percent of this energy that is normally lost and
sends it back to the battery pack to be stored
for later use. Not only is regenerative braking
efficient, but it helps minimize wear on the
brake pads, lowering the cost of maintenance.
