Exceptional Fuel Economy Without Sacrificing
Style -
COSTA MESA, Calif., June 30
/PRNewswire/
-- Since its introduction earlier this year, the
2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid has garnered an
impressive list of accolades, including the
title "Most Fuel Efficient Mid-Size Car in
America." Today, the Fusion Hybrid receives
another honor as it is named the NADAguides.com
"Car of the Month" for June. With its long list
of technological features, great overall
styling, 41 mpg in the city and starting price
of just $27,270 the Fusion Hybrid stands out in
the crowded mid-size hybrid market and provides
a welcoming glimpse into the future of Ford's
alternative energy vehicle lineup.
"Ford has done an
exceptional job with the 2010 Fusion Hybrid. The
exterior styling is modern and aggressive, the
ride is refined and the transition from electric
motor to gas engine is seamless," said Michael
Caudill, NADAguides.com Auto Expert. "The Ford
Fusion accomplishes a great feat - employing the
latest in hybrid technology while providing a
driving experience that is familiar and
comfortable."
The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
is powered by the combination of a 2.5-liter
4-cylinder gas engine, electric motor and
nickel-metal hydride batteries. Advanced
regenerative braking recovers up to 94 percent
of the energy lost during braking, feeding power
back into the battery. The whole system allows
the Fusion to run at up to 47 miles per hour in
pure electric mode, nearly twice as fast as some
of its competitors.
The Fusion Hybrid's wealth
of standard technological features includes
Ford's SmartGauge with EcoGuide. This system
displays dozens of statistics including instant
fuel economy, battery charge status, vehicle
power mode and accessory power consumption that
make it both easy and entertaining for the
driver to maximize fuel economy.
Standard safety equipment
for the Fusion Hybrid includes driver and
passenger front and side airbags, front and rear
side body airbags and front head airbags. When
combined with traction control and a blind spot
warning system, the Fusion inspires a feeling of
safety and confidence on the road.
