The Ford 2010 Fusion A huge eight-inch nav screen. Real-time traffic info read out loud. Hands-free control of your cell and MP3® player. Sony® surround with 12 speakers. All options. All reasons we’re considering handing out bibs when you test-drive! "Take your pick: Whether you want a gas-powered or hybrid mid-sized sedan, the new Fusion offers the best fuel economy in America," said Barb Samardzich, Ford's vice president of Powertrain Engineering. "We promised to offer best-in-class or among the very best fuel economy with every new vehicle we introduce, and we are making good on that pledge with hybrids, new high-tech gasoline engines, new six-speed transmissions and other fuel efficient technologies."

Keep your speedometer under 47 mph, and the electronic motor that’s part of Fusion Hybrid’s 2.5L Atkinson I4 Hybrid engine is all you need. But if you’ve made it past the gridlock, the gas engine lets you open things up. And thanks to something called late intake valve closing, you won’t even notice the transition.
Regenerative braking captures energy normally lost during deceleration and stores it as electricity.
In the tradeoff between power and fuel economy, we remembered we don’t do tradeoffs. The result? Our 175-hp I4 engine is projected to get at least 33 mpg on the highway and an estimated 41 city mpg*
*Based on Ford preliminary data. Actual mileage will vary. The SmartGauge™ Instrument Display FIRST-in-class* MotorTrend says, “Check it out -- that's the future of instrumentation, folks”.  Not only is Fusion Hybrid capable of ‘growing leaves’, it’ll use those leaves to teach you how to be a more efficient driver. *Class is Midsize Hybrid Sedan. “Simply put, the Fusion delivers those subjective goods better than any hybrid on the market.”

Now the available SYNC® system can detect an accident, call* 911 for you and play a prerecorded message for the operator. This talking system is also equipped to monitor how your Fusion’s health is regularly, so if it needs maintenance, you’re going to hear about it.
*The vehicle’s electrical system (including the battery), the wireless service provider’s signal and a connected mobile phone all must be available and operating for 911 Assist to function properly. These systems may become damaged in a crash. The paired mobile phone must be connected to Sync and the 911 Assist feature enabled in order for 911 to be dialed. Fusion can be your copilot with eyes in the back of its head. If a vehicle is in your blind spot, the class-exclusive* Blind Spot Information System™ (BLIS) warns you with an indicator light in the corresponding outside mirror. While its Cross-Traffic Alert feature sounds an audible beep when there’s oncoming traffic as you back out of a parking spot. Want a real-time picture of what’s behind? The available class-exlusive* rear view camera shows you just that.
*Class is Midsize Sedans. And, with the Easy Fuel™ Capless Filler, there are no more caps to unscrew. Close the door and the system seals shut automatically. Performance
Here’s to the asphalt addicts. (You know who you are.) The nuances of a fine-tuned suspension. Increases in engine displacement without dogging fuel economy. Embrace that obsession. Obviously, we do. You would think that an I4 engine with standard six-speed manual transmission is all about the fuel economy. But not with Fusion. We increased the displacement of our I4 from 2.3L to 2.5L to up the horsepower. Took us from 160 to 175 horses. Crazy thing is fuel economy is projected to go up with it. Even crazier; the optional automatic should get better mileage than the manual - up to 33 mpg on the highway.*
*I4 automatic 33 highway mpg based on Ford preliminary data. The available class-exclusive* All-Wheel-Drive System automatically reacts to wheelslip by redirecting power to the wheels with the best traction.
*Class is Midsize Sedans. New to the Fusion lineup, the 3.5L V6 Sport engine has a dual overhead cam and four valves per cylinder delivering 263 horses. It’s got ground effects, a sport-tuned suspension, rear spoiler and 18-inch painted aluminum wheels. Not to mention the addition of a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission that lets you shift your own gears with a flip of a switch and without the hassle of a clutch. Come in and see the new 2010 Fusion for yourself! Arriving soon at Atchley Ford. |
