Honda and Toyota have had the midsized market all to themsleves with their entries; the Camry and the Accord, since Ford has dropped the Taurus from their line.Originally introduced in Ford’s 2006 line-up, the Fusion has new modications including the new Hybrid power plant.The Fusion Hybrid was finally revieled at the Los Angeles Auto Show in late 2008.In comparison to competitors, the Ford Fusion Hybrid gets some of the best in-town gas mileage.The Environemetal Protection Agency gives the Fusion a rating of 41 Miles Per Gallon which is much better than the Toyota Camry, and even better than the fuel efficient Civic Hybrid; all this from a medium sized hybrid car.Without any help from the internal combustion engine, the electric engine can push the Fusion up to 47 MPH.A bunch of Car Prublications have used this method to get greater fuel economy than the EPA estimates.

Technology in the Fusion allows drivers to learn which style of driving is best for maximizing fuel economy.  They have created an ingenious system which is built into the instrument cluster called the SmartGauge.There are two displays on each side of the gauge cluster that show various hybrid info.The 1st display tells the power left in the battery packs and the remaining amount of fuel.The 2nd information monitor shows the tachometer and the electric mode function.The third monitor will tell how the battery power is and what the engine output is.Finally, the last screen shows data in power to the wheels and additional power consumption.Information Displays reveal fuel consumption, Miles Per Gallon account, journey record, and antifreeze levels.To inform the driver which driving style is the best for fuel economy, a real time MPG information gauge is available.

Check the nav display to see the cool hybrid Energy Flow stuff.This display will exhibit the five modes of the Hybrid Pwer Train in cluding things like the regenerative braking, the elestric engine boost, and various hybrid and electric drive systems, and finally the charge while at idle.

Seperating itself from the hybrid pack, the Fusion has seats made from reclaimed fabric.Hybrid vehicles have been vastly popular over the last few years with Toyota and Honda leading the way; finally Ford has joined the race.
