2019 Ford Fusion Energi in Greensboro, NC - $0

The new 2017 Ford Fusion sedan continues to be a game changer among midsize sedans, with the most technologically advanced lineup ever. The 2017 Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid also benefits from the updates to the standard Fusion sedan. Available in SE, Titanium and Platinum trim levels, the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid is a technology-packed electrified vehicle that offer an advanced EcoGuide system to provide drivers real-time coaching for even better fuel economy.

Fusion Energi features a 7.6-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery for an expected range of 19 miles using electric power only. The car automatically switches to an efficient 2.0L Atkinson-Cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine when the battery is depleted, allowing customers to drive more than 500 miles. Torque is communicated to the pavement through an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (eCVT).

Ford continues to innovate and evolve with its lithium-ion batteries that save weight and take up less space than other hybrids in its segment. Recharging Fusion Energi can be done overnight in just 2.5 hours. The car is smart enough to know when to begin charging to get electricity at the lowest price. It can even preheat or precool the cabin before drivers leave to save more fuel.

Control hardware for the Fusion Energi consists of an four-wheel independent suspensions system with MacPherson struts combined with a short-long arm configuration and a stabilizer bar up front and a multi-link setup with twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks at the rear.

The 2017 Fusion sedan family is the first car sold here with Ford’s pedestrian detection system. Fusion also has hands-free parallel and perpendicular parking capability. The new high-tech gear shift dial results in a roomier cabin with easy-to-reach bins. Lane-keeping assist helps drivers maintain SYNC® 3, Ford’s new communications and entertainment system, is also available.
