Fusion highlights;
The vehicle, rated at 41 m.p.g. city and 36 m.p.g. highway, goes on sale later this spring. The price, for a well-equipped Fusion, will start @ $27,200, about $3,000 more than for a four-cylinder gasoline-powered version that, in its own right, delivers 23 city and 34 highway. Some dealers will have a ADM.
The Fusion's regenerative braking system, which recovers up to 94 percent of braking energy (the electric motor does the bulk of the braking, turning into a generator and using the recovered power to recharge the battery pack). Thus brake pads are expected to last three to five times longer.
Ford stacked the battery pack behind the rear seat. That still allows for a large trunk. The "battery" actually is 208 individual cells the size of a household 'D' cell.
The Fusion can reach 47 mph on electric power alone – provided you have the right touch on the throttle.
You don't feel the gasoline engine kick in or cut out because of the powertrain control module is calibrated to ease the transition.
Oil change intervals are expected to be at 10,000 miles because the engine does only half the work in this hybrid configuration.
