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.
