The Fusion Hybrid - Smart and Fuel Efficient
When Ford ceased production of the outdated Taurus a few years ago, they had to scramble to fill the void inthe mid sized car arena.People are really starting to notice the new Hybrid power plant modification in the Fusion.The Fusion Hybrid was finally revieled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in late 2008.The new Ford Fusion recieves some of the best in-town gas mileage, that only a hybrid can get.Driving the Fusion Hybrid around town will net you over 40 miles per gallon which far outshines the Camry and even the fuel efficient civic hybrid. The Fusion’s electric engine can power the car up to 47 MPH without any help from the gas engine.A bunch of Car Prublications have used this method to get greater fuel economy than the EPA estimates.
The Fusion can teach drivers which driving style is best for maximum fuel economy by using new technology.The Smart Gauge is a set of gauges built into the display. There are 2 LCD screens located one on each side of the speedo which display 4 different information screens.The first monitor will indicate just how much gas is left and also how much energy is left in the battery pack. The second data screen adds an electric vehicle mode indicator and RPM Tach.The third monitor will tell how the battery power is and what the engine output is. The fourth and final data screen shows power to the wheels and accessory power consumption.All display screens show fuel efficiency, MPG record, voyage account, and changes in coolant temps.A real time MPG information gauge easily displays to drivers which driving style would be best for fuel economy.
The navigation system also houses the Hybrid Energy Flow Display.This display will exhibit the five modes of the Hybrid Pwer Train in cluding things like the regenerative braking, the elestric engine boost, and various hybrid and electric drive systems, and finally the charge while at idle.
Pretty much all hybrids are considered Eco friendly but it is the Fusion that goes one step farther by using reclaimed fabric to make the interior.Toyota and Honda have been selling thousands of hybrids per year unchallanged, better late than never with Ford.
