A Quick Look at the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Ford has just updated the Fusion for 2010. With sleeker lines and a slew of new features, the latest Ford Fusion promises to be a substantial improvement over the outgoing model. Perhaps what will make the latest generation a standout for buyers is the all-new Hybrid variant which claims to be more efficient that the class leading Toyota Camry hybrid.

The new Ford Fusion Hybrid is ultra quiet, and features an all-new exterior that’s far more handsome than the outgoing model. Inside, the Fusion is roomier as well which has pleased families at Used Cars San Diego whose inventory also includes new Ford models. The dash is not quite as elegant as the new exterior, but fit and finish is commendable.

As for the operation of the hybrid system in the new Ford Fusion, it’s able to switch between electric and gas power seamlessly, without shudder or other disturbances. Despite the dominance of the Japanese hybrid technology, Minneapolis Ford dealers say that Ford has successfully improved upon the technology to provide seamless operation.

For environmentally conscious drivers, the new Ford Fusion Hybrid comes at a cost of about $3,200. With the added price, buyers will get 41 miles per gallon in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway. Ford says those numbers make not only more efficient than the Camry hybrid, but the numbers also make it about fifty percent more efficient than the gasoline-powered Fusion, which St Paul Ford says is what makes the Fusion Hybrid an incredible value.

Hybrid buyers now have more choices when it comes to the midsize segment. With attractive offerings from Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, domestic car enthusiasts can now consider the Ford Fusion Hybrid as well.
