Overview

Cars like the 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Fusion Hybrid uses its 2.0L Inline-4 engine and a 12V hybrid system to produce 188 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Fusion a 0-60 of 9 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2018 Ford Fusion achieves a combined fuel economy of 42 MPG. As part of the mid-size sedan segment, the Fusion competes with the Honda Accord Hybrid, the Toyota Camry Hybrid, and the Kia Optima Hybrid. It offers 4 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $25,390.

Buying Advice

Talking about the sweet spot of the 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid, we think it is the SE trim that gets majority of practical features such as power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support, Satellite radio, LED accent lights, a digital compass, etc as standard. It can also be had with a plethora of optional equipment depending on the needs.
