Ford certainly did an excellent job on working its magnificent Ford Fusion hybrid car. Sleek, fast, and fuel efficient, there’s no way that you’ll never appreciate what it can do for you to save on gas bills. Here are some others things that you need to know about this car from Ford.
1. It’s the First Hybrid Sedan from Ford
The Ford 2010 Fusion Hybrid is the first Sedan hybrid that Ford ever manufactured. Before this though, Ford already released several hybrid vehicles such as the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and the Mazda Tribute.
2.It’s Second Generation
Basically, the Ford Fusion Hybrid came from Ford’s earlier hybrid system that was used in the Ford Escape. It uses a 2.5-liter engine that is strong enough to generate as much as 106 horsepower.
3.It’s the Best Out There
Truth is, the Ford Fusion Hybrid leads the sedan hybrid class because it can take a gallon of fuel to 41 miles, nonstop. In short, it’s so good that it has an MPG pegged at 41. If you’re still not impressed, fill up its 17-gallon tank and you can go as far as 600 miles without even refueling at all.
4. Electricity Mode
Meanwhile, just like most hybrid cars, the Ford Fusion Hybrid uses its electricity capacity in order to make the most out of its fuel. So when you switch the Ford Fusion Hybrid to electric mode, you can go as far as 47 miles without even stalling. That means using purely electricity, this hybrid sedan can take you 47 miles on the road without even recharging.
5. Uses Atkinson Cycle
Most internal combustion engine uses the regular Otto cycle for fuel efficiency. However, this hybrid car from Ford uses another version called the Atkinson cycle. This one uses a shorter power stroke, while the intake cylinder stays longer. Because of this, there’s better efficiency, while the torque is greatly diminished.
