2015 Ford Fusion - Sleek, stylish and efficient.

 











The Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi Plug-In Hybrid models have a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery (the battery is bigger in the plug-in model) and an electric motor with a gasoline engine for efficient operation. These models also feature next-generatrion SmartGauge® with EcoGuide, providing real-time information to help you drive more efficiently. Another standard feature, regenerative braking, captures 90 percent of the kinetic energy and uses it to recharge the lithium-ion battery. In gas-powered models, three available EcoBoost® engines are designed to optimize efficiency, thanks to turbocharging, direct injection and twin independent variable cam timing.

The 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid has an EPA-estimated rating of 44 city/41 hwy/42 combined mpg.* It has a 2.0L I-4 Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine that delivers 188 net horsepower. At speeds up to 85 mph, the vehicle can travel in electric mode. To help you drive more efficiently, next-generation SmartGauge® with EcoGuide acts as a driving coach, providing real-time driving feedback, courtesy of screens on either side of the center-mounted speedometer. Left-side display screens include Engage and Empower modes, providing a variety of real-time information to help you get the most efficiency from your vehicle. When your driving becomes more efficient, the right-side cluster display grows leaves and vines. You can track the powertrain’s operation – hybrid drive, electric drive, gas engine, plus instant and average fuel economy.

The Fusion Energi Plug-In Hybrid is a progressive hybrid that provides the option of plugging in or not. The vehicle is designed to be efficient, thanks a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery and electric motor with a gasoline engine. The battery provides enough power to operate in all-electric mode for commutes of an EPA-estimated range of up to 19 miles.* With plug-in capability, you can fully charge the battery overnight using a 120-volt outlet. There is also an available 240-volt home charging station that provides a full recharge in approximately 2.5 hours. When fully charged, the EPA-estimated gas plus electric driving range is 550 miles.** When the battery is depleted or when more power is needed, the vehicle functions as a traditional gas-electric hybrid. It also features a Regenerative Braking System, allowing it to capture the braking energy and store it for later use.
