2013 ford fusion hybrid review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-new family sedan with uncanny good looks. introductionford fusion is all-new for 2013. Like the love child of an aston martin and a bmw, the all-new fusion sports a wide grille with strong horizontal lines, sleek wraparound headlamps and sharp, assertive creases. the 2013 ford fusion is a five-passenger, midsize sedan. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is optional. the 2013 fusion is available with a wide range of powertrains, including gasoline, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants. The 2. 0-liter turbo delivers the best acceleration performance. Fuel economy is aided by sticking with smaller engines, as well as by incorporating systems such as electric-assist power steering, and an optional automatic start/stop feature on models equipped with the 1. 6-liter ecoboost engine. We found the start/stop feature irritatingly rough but it can be turned off. the standard 2. 5-liter engine is epa-rated at 22/34 mpg city/highway. Models with the new 1. 6-liter engine achieve 25/37 mpg city/highway with the manual transmission and 24/37 mpg with the automatic. Fusion energi is designed to run on pure electric power for short commutes and can be charged using a 120-volt or 240-volt outlet. the 2013 fusion is built on an all-new platform, which ford says is more rigid and safer than before. Although classified as midsize, the 2013 fusion feels large and cavernous. This second-generation fusion rides on a wheelbase that's about five inches longer than the first-generation version (2006-12), but overall body length is only an inch longer thanks to shorter overhangs. Fusion feels big while driving, and a u-turn requires of plenty of space, although the turning circle was cut down a bit from the previous generation and beats that of the honda accord. We found the fusion hybrid operates smoothly but didn't love the low, grumbly sound it makes. technology abounds in the 2013 ford fusion. Optional advanced safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, which helps wandering drivers stay in their lanes. But other automakers have launched all-new flagships this year, including the 2013 honda accord and 2013 nissan altima. The toyota camry was refreshed for 2012 and remains a perennial favorite. The hyundai sonata is also an excellent alternative, although even its alluring styling can't top the fusion's. lineupthe 2013 ford fusion comes in s, se, and titanium trims. Fusion hybrid comes in se trim only. Standard equipment is upgraded with an eight-way power driver seat with power lumbar, rear air vents, a rear fold-down armrest, an enhanced audio display, satellite radio capability, heated mirrors, a keyless entry keypad and17-inch alloy wheels. options on fusion se include an appearance package 1,250) with seating surfaces made from recycled materials, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, foglights, a rear spoiler and 18-inch painted alloy wheels.

Emergency crash notification comes standard. Optional blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning and a lane-keeping function can reduce the chance of an accident. An optional rearview camera can help the driver spot a small child behind the car when backing up. Available all-wheel drive enhances stability in slippery conditions. Its wide-mouth horizontal grille evokes the design language of aston martin (which, for a time, was owned by ford), and its wraparound headlamps and sharp body creases could have been penned by designers from a luxury german brand. Ford succeeded in making the car look high-end and modern, with styling cues that are aggressive but still approachable. It rides on a wheelbase that's about five inches longer than the old model, although overall body length is only an inch longer, thanks to shorter overhangs. The 2013 fusion is about an inch wider and taller than the last generation. There's plenty of space up front for legs, shoulders and heads, and roominess is accentuated by concave door trim, which looks as if it were pared away by a giant potato peeler. Strangely, the narrow, body-hugging sport seats don't match their cavernous surroundings. Front seats sit low in the cockpit, and combined with the relatively high hood line, we had a hard time finding a comfortable seat height. On the plus side, the headrests sit at a surp.
