2013 FORD FUSIONReview
By
StradaJanuary 2013
The front end styling is attractive, while adding a unique character to the car. We agree styling although personal…sells!
Appealing Styling
Compelling presence on the street, reinforced by the fastback 4 door roof line.
Street Presence
Elegant cloth interior, with contrasting red stitching. Power seats, power lumbar support, handy cup holders, and spacious.
Spacious - Well Finished
Display for entertainment, navigation, back up camera, intuitive, easy to use, although complemented by a good amount of black plastic.
Center of Dash
Good leg room, center arm rest, and folding seat back.
Roomy
Notice the space for the battery, and the unique for an hybrid fold down rear seat.
Reasonable Trunk
The hybrid system generates 188 HP, with appreciable torque for good acceleration, and highway passing.
188 HP
The fun of hybrids, doing almost 35 kph on the electric motor, one of the cool features of this hybrid is watching the battery run down, not the gas gauge.
EV Mode
Great on surface streets, smooth shifting CVT, superb highway cruiser, good steering feel, with aggressive regenerative brakes.
