2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid Review and Road Test

[@samuelelias5949]

Just bought a new Ford Fusion hybrid in ice storm blue. It's being delivered and I can't wait. I haven't driven a Ford since I was in high school back in the mid 1970's. My grandpa would be proud of me; he always owned a Ford.

[@GudinDmitry]

I have a Ford Fusion Hybrid 2015. The car is a dream! Very quiet, extremely fun to drive, comfortable, and the fuel economy is on par with older Priuses. Planning to drive it for the next 20 years, until it starts falling apart.

[@bjstyxs]

i bot a 2012 hybrid 2 weeks ago, and i love it. took a 167 mile road trip just the other day and got 44.7 miles to the gallon on that trip. above the average they say u might get. and ive gotten 47 in the city, above what they say u might get.. im also a six feet six inch man, and it was comfortable for me. was almost able to stretch all the way out leg wise.

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Thanks for the feedback! Glad we could help.

[@SupremeRulahXemu]

I've been getting 43 mpg (lesser in cold weather). The way you drive is key. Drive the Fusion Hybrid like a Mustang and you *might* get around 30 mpg. However, if you're driving in heavy traffic conditions (like rush hour in LA,NY,Chicago), this car can give you good MPG. The more you cruise, the better. The less you jump off the line, the better. You don't have to drive like an "old" person, but stay calm and keep a light foot. You'll be rewarded!

8:22 I have seen it all now. Trunk comfort Index. This is worth the subscribe. This alone.

[@WWPTV]

5:18 Woh, woh, woh, bucco! How did you do that? That was what I needed. I couldn't find that anywhere. There is a level on the right side of the steering wheel! Unlike any other Ford I have ever seen.

[@86zzmahn]

Stumbled upon your review as I am thinking about purchasing a 2014 SE Hybrid. Excellent, informative review!

[@sydjaguar]

I love how he goes though every aspect systematically.

[@EdEdd-li7pd]

Watching this in 2024, should I be worried about the hybrid's reliability?

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

We are working on getting one to review. In the mean time, I suggest checking out our take on the Ford C-MAX Energi, the drivetrain is the same in both vehicles.

[@NDSautomotive]

Not a fan of ford but this car impressed me with all of the safety features. Great Job FORD.

[@Zero-ks3pc]

Always can count on great, unbiased reviews from this channel. No tropes on hybrids being slow or bothering other drivers like other channels. Just clear, concise information you can trust. On the black interior, I love it. I can’t stand the tan/beige interiors. An all black cabin option is always my first choice and I’ll never purchase a car with any range of brown inside or out again. Charcoal/black just feels more inviting, warming, welcoming. I’ll note that I also don’t like light colored walls in my house either, it feels too industrial/business/clinical. To each their own. I really miss my 05 civic hybrid and looking for options that are 40+ mpg and the styling inside and out for this car is acceptable (I’m picky). The gauge cluster on the civic hybrid is what really draws me back to it but the age of that model makes finding one not driven into the ground difficult. My current vehicle gets 21 mpg on a good tank, usually around 17. Thanks and appreciation for being one of the most respectable reviewers out there and hope for your continued success! :)

[@TheJohnnyPat]

They're all turning toward an all black cheaper interior

[@mikechga]

Good review - a couple of comments You are the ONLY reviewer to ever get the full 47 mpg from this car. Would have liked to know if you did anything different. Thanks for mentioning the Kia (many don't) - I definitely think the Optima is a better looking machine.I also think acceleration and handling are a Kia advantage. Thanks for the demo on the lane / steering control. I felt you should have mentioned the package it comes with. It adds $10K to the price.

[@AndrewNL08]

Great review, it's good to see Ford being competitive with the other automakers!

[@vaneztax]

I like Host method of presentation, very clear and informative. Possibly the best. Thanks

[@Chillygilly57]

Nicely done very informative description. Finally someone with the proper knowledge description. Keep up the good work!

[@sydjaguar]

Ford badge has some respect being the pioneer for assembly line tech.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

TTAC make the BEST extremely in depth reviews!

[@LV4NYG]

Great review

[@rjensen256]

Excellent professional and informative review. Thank you! This will certainly affect the choice of my next vehicle.

[@finaljustice3848]

11:15 Hey Alex your driving past El Camino in Millbrae! I frequent that area. Nice seeing a local give car reviews.

[@Buddy308]

Mikechga, you're off on the cost of Lane departure by an order of magnitude. It's about $1K, & there are other options on that package, as well.

[@RIOT91765]

Phenominal and very detailed thank you. Was considering Optima Hybrid or Fusion Hybrid. Going with Fusion because of your review. Thank you.

[@minogoda]

great review .... especially the driving part where u showed most of the equipment in work!!

[@v10mclaren]

great review. very detailed, showing the good and bad.

[@WWPTV]

6:02 6 feet tall. One of those guys! Ha ha ha. I am 5'6" and my feet just reach the ground. So I look at those things before I get into a vehicle. You know what they say about assuming...

[@LordSephiros]

I'm also curious about this. I've been debating if I should wait for the Mazda 6 diesel to come out or just get the Fusion Hybrid.

[@hendo337]

Is TTAC going to test the Energi version? Focus EV would really excite me as well.

[@nickackermanchannel]

amazing review thank you for making this video :)

[@MrThat70svan]

I agree, You give an awesome review! Very helpful!

[@fortunatedad7695]

That's crazy that ford has this technology in their vehicles in 2013. Don't see that in the imports until 2017 or later.

[@mb013962]

what mpg did you guys get in the toyota camry hybrid?

[@atheethkumar]

nice review. Very detailed.

[@tuolumne9]

GREAT informative review! Thank you!

[@phototristan]

Although not in the same class, I'd rather have a Prius. Prius just has a certain cache to it, whereas the Fusion just seems sorta ho hum.

[@AlternativeUses]

Thanks for the review!!

[@AAutoBuyersGuide]

Fairly slimilar, about 40MPG.

[@hendo337]

Good news, thanks.

[@DMX-du9mn]

So strange - I drive jdm 2003 Honda Accord with keyless entry and start. This ford hybrid do not have even keyless start

[@kcirreb94]

the fisker has a the volts powertrain

[@Skyhawk1987Turbo]

Go ford!

[@bjstyxs]

ull be much happier with the fusion hybrid. believe me..

[@venom5809]

"Hun-Day" like Sunday. lol

[@jhendrson]

I know it's not relevant but he has 3,333 songs!

[@RealtimeReviews613]

He says hondai? Weird

[@ajedwards428]

Hey my name is Aj and I am interested in a job of your kind if you could email me with the info I need to get a job like yours thanks.

[@Provenblueprint]

This is just a 4 door mustang I'm not interested

[@gaylinm]

How is this a mustang?

[@chrissorreda4982]

Yeah cause this is front wheel drive and didn't even have a v6 option until it's second gen. Yep this is definitely just a 4-door mustang 👍🏼👏🏼

[@ceelm]

Ford bull shitin again about specs!!

[@Glory-to-God.]

car and driver came up with over 9 seconds for 0-60mph...there is no way this car can do faster than the camry hybrid...total bullshit

[@Skyhawk1987Turbo]

Camrys are crap

[@SirtubalotTX]

Motortrend got 7.2 and 92 out of a current gen Camry Hybrid so you are correct. Also, after Ford got in trouble for the errant gas mileage ratings for both the Fusion and Cmax hybrids..(including getting sued and changing the ratings twice) they changed the tuning on the cars affecting output. That's why the later Fusion/Cmax hybrids are not accelerating as quickly. Despite what some people want to say or think.. The Camry Hybrid is the only hybrid in this segment that consistently gets and even beats it's epa gas mileage ratings. The Accord hybrid has also gotten some flack. Anyone don't believe me? Go check out fuelly.. youtube and different forums.

[@raymondramirez9177]

+Mhamad Riyad So you drive for speed than for luxury? Then get a Supercar!

[@darksoldier7545]

The Ford Fusion may look better than the Toyota Prius but, the Fusion doesn't have anything on the Prius' mpg.

[@raymondramirez9177]

+Dark Soldier MPG isn't the only value of any car. If it was, you would buy a tiny one-cylinder, single-seat minicar! Besides, driving and riding in a Fusion is extremely superior over a cheap Prius!

[@theodoredeleon6660]

Guy calls a Prius cheap. I can assure you the longevity with Toyota hybrids will destroy Ford's. If you pay attention you can see many generation 1 Prius still operating.

[@JCWiley2300]

@@theodoredeleon6660 Cheapness vs longevity. Yes, Toyotas have pretty much bulletproof reliability. But Toyotas also feel like tin cans. It's a perception thing.

[@Tuck_Frump]

@@JCWiley2300 whatever. I can assure a Lexus will destroy anything Ford has. Lexus is Toyota

[@JCWiley2300]

@@Tuck_Frump yes, Lexus is made by Toyota, but Toyota also uses a hell of a lot more sound-deadening materials on its Lexus cars than Toyotas like Prius and Camry. Believe me, I've ridden in plenty of them, even brand new, and you'd swear there was a door slightly ajar. In a car wash it sounds like the water jets are going to perforate the side doors.
