The Fusion Hybrid – 2010 North American Car of the Year – continues to innovate and evolve with all-new lithium-ion batteries that save weight and generate more power than previous nickel-metal hydride batteries, while raising maximum speed under electric-only power from 47 mph to 62 mph.

Fusion Hybrid also features an all-new 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine, significantly downsized from the previous 2.5-liter unit while maintaining performance standards. This innovative powertrain is anticipated to deliver best-in-class fuel economy of 47 mpg in city driving and 47 mpg on the highway.

3 of those mpg's are merely from applying the Blue Oval to the rear of the car.

Not bad for 30 large

β€œThe build sheet is the wish list of any racer: lightweight high-revving dry-sump LS7 engine; carbon-ceramic brakes; integrated coolers; true aerodynamic downforce, and a significant reduction in curb weight. This car could only come from Chevrolet, and could only be called the Z/28.”

Previous Fusion hybrid could hypermile to about 1500 miles. Wonder what they can do with this one.

Hard not to conclude that this offers the current best combination of fuel economy for the capital cost, especially given the practical space and Ford driving dynamics.

I really like the Volt, but even after the EV tax credit it is more expensive.

A head to head of the Volt, a plug-in Prius, and an Energi Fusion (plug-in version) would be a very interesting test.

That blows the camry totally out of the water!

It only gets 40/38

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
