Overview & Features: 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium

[@DeniJasmina]

I work at a dealership and drive all type of cars, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Infiniti... We recently got a 2013 Fusion Titanium in trade and I was curious about the new model. After going over it, driving and thoroughly inspecting it I can tell you that I am very surprised what Ford did on this vehicle. Build quality is top notch, great technology and it drives excellent. Love it.

I usually don't like lengthy KZbin videos but you was very informative and kept me attentive the entire 30 minutes. You should be a professor I would go to your lecture and would not fall asleep

[@madguy5729]

I watched this video 6 years ago because i was curious but now i have one getting delivered tomorrow

[@MrMalibu09]

Very good review!! I picked up my fusion hybrid last October and the great gas mileage easily justifies the extra cost. I'm currently averaging around 43mpg and on one trip to work I managed a little over 50. The best I ever managed in my other car was 29 mpg.

[@cbhirsch]

I purchased the same car in January. I did not know about the extra key in the key fob, thanks. You forgot to mention the air compressor and flat fixer in lieu of a spare tire in the trunk. Great report on the new tech.

[@cbhirsch]

@Joe M Yep 118,000 trouble free miles averaged 41.2 MPG over all of those miles.

[@johnm190]

Ordered my Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid a few weeks ago. Can't wait for it to be delivered!!

[@cptgigity]

update?

[@gailschmaus1794]

Important tips missed:. If your FOB battery goes dead you will need the key inside the FOB to release the cap at the end of the door handle. The key hole to release that cap is under the handle There is a you tube video available to show you that. New battery for FOB was $1.97. There are two in the FOB and both need to be replaced. The car battery is in the trunk however, convenience terminals are under the front hood. If the car battery will not charge you won't be able to unlock the trunk. I had to fold down the rear seats and slide in on my back to reach that release handle (thinking now to attach a longer cord to the handle and attach it across the top of the trunk right behind the seats). Battery at automotive store was $129. Phone Sync-my TracFone LG Sunset is not compatible in the 2014.

hello dj, tomorrow we gonna change our gray 2012 fusion SE for a new black ford fusion titanium 2014, i'm very excited, i can't wait to put my hands on it. this car have so many features, i'm very impressed. the car looks do beautiful, i'm very, very happy. thank's for the review.

[@360milliondollars]

I got the AWD version. Really nice car drinks a lot of gas if you use premium fuel which burn faster than the lower grade fuel. The car is awesome. Only paid 32000 for it fully loaded (no sunroof and deleted spoiler). Got a discount from the Ford manufacturer. Currently got 4500+ miles on the car have been in use for about 3 months. The car is very quick after the break in period for the motor. I will keep the OEM parts for the 7 years that the car is under warranty. Will do my first oil change myself at a hobby shop next weekend. I may have about 5000 miles by that time. The car with my driving like a lead foot gets about 22 gallons average. It does seem as though the car save more gas in city driving than on the highway. Love it I need some type of analogy/digital converter for the sound quality. Sound system is awesome with FM but Sat radio need some tuning too compressed.

Really enjoyed your video of the 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid Titanium. I am really fascinated by the hybrid technology, especially in the Ford and Toyota. I think they are superior to the Huandai and KIA and even the Honda's new 2014 Accord Hybrid. We have test driven both a Titanium and a couple of SE's. We are really impressed with the smoothness of the shifting with the eCVT transmission, and when the gas engine engages when needed. No shudder or vibration at all. And the car is more comfortable than the KIA sedan and even the Honda Accord. Haven't driven a Huandai yet, and don't really intend to. The car is quieter than any new car I've driven or ridden in so far. Hardly any road noise. You didn't mention that the microphones in the roof also work with the audio system to actually deaden the road noise inside the car. We are totally impressed with the Fusion Hybrid, and hope to buy one very shortly. Like your 1999 Monte Carlo, I'm driving a 1998 Cadillac DeVille now, which is beginning to really have mechanical and electrical problems. And you didn't mention that the Fusion has active grill shutters, which close and open as needed, reducing wind drag on the vehicle. And it has almost a completely sealed underbelly, further reducing drag. It feels roomier inside than the KIA Optima sedan, and you feel like you're sitting higher in the passenger and rear seats than you do in the KIA, because the windows are larger and lower so you see out better. More leg room also. Thanks.

[@fastrace011]

Great video. You said no way to get in car without key fib, don't forget Fusion's keep pad entry on the driver's door.

[@Luis-xr6ec]

Great video Austin! Been looking all day for a video like yours.

[@mle8870]

Wow! This was the best overview I've seen on this vehicle-and I've watched a lot of them. Thank you so much for discussing what is most important to all . . . It doesn’t hurt that you have a very soothing voice too. I am in the process of researching vehicles and oscillating between either staying with a petroleum run vehicle or going with a hybrid. My dilemma is I’ve been watching several videos and reading consumers reports and most say the “stated” millage from the carmaker is inflated and not worth the extra money. Although most reviews state that the Toyota Prius have the best vehicles, because one is unable to hear the engine when changing from petroleum to electric, I definitely do not like the Prius panel. The icons are too small and the panel has too much on it, most of which I will never use. I would probably kill someone trying to figure out which of the two rear view windows to look through-out of habit, I’ll probably look behind me instead of using the camera. Can anyone please tell what the true millage is (stop and go traffic, like in Los Angeles i5)? Is the maintenance more with a hybrid than a petroleum run vehicle? Team work is good work☺ Thanks

[@tjrumler]

Thank you for doing this. I just bought this car 3rd Fusion, first hybrid) but the salesman did a horrible demo. Thanks!

[@kingbee086]

Great job on your review. Been going back and forth about going with the Ecoboost 1.6L or the Hybrid. I owned a 11 Prius but traded it cause it just was not a fun car to drive. I have a long commute to work and I am really leaning towards the Fusion Hybrid. Most difinitely will be going with the Titanium package. So thanks for your in depth review. It may have just sold my on the hybrid lol.

[@davecopeland1135]

So its been at least a year since you posted this great video? I am really on the fence about this. Any different view now that you have had a year more? Do you still own it if not why? Thanks

[@hotchalupa]

Great overview of your Fusion Hybrid! I'm currently considering a few different cars, including all Ford Hybrid and Energi offerings, and in the overall bang for the money category, I think this is at the top of the list right now! Great color choice, too!

[@jual8347]

Thx alot. that was a great overview!! though people with bad memory like me might need a short course to b able to remember &use all of those awesome features :)

[@anthonygonzaga7996]

Thank you very much for this video. Such a nice car. Going to test drive a certified pre-owned 2013 hybrid titanium on Tuesday and I am very excited!

[@DJAJ101]

Sweet dude! Hope you enjoy it, it's a pretty nice ride.

[@anthonygonzaga7996]

+DJAJ101 I ended up purchasing a 2014 SE with the luxury package. Really nice car - nice to be getting 41 mpg on average unlike 16 with my old Ford Ranger!

[@aim4grace97]

Like a weather man but for cars😂 Love the video man

[@BobABooey.]

We rented one a few weeks ago and I'm leaning hard towards one of these, but for some reason that touch screen display bugs me. First it's the position, and its sometimes hard to see when the sun hits it. Second, the mat finish really shows the finger prints. Other than that, I really like the car.

[@egn83b]

Toyota basically set the standard hybrid configuration which this car is based off and even the smart locking doors too. The only thing that sets this car apart from the Prius flag ship is power and weight which in this case this car is heavy but has a good power to weight ratio with the 2.0L engine. Great video.

[@megaman4201]

You forgot what sets us apart from the Prius, most importantly, STYLE and SWAG

[@1989rs500]

Awesome car and to add to the video I cant find any other Hybrid thats as fun 2 drive as Fusion and the interior is quality fed and it feels like a luxury British car with Ford badge

[@derickj1976]

Still one of the best looking hybrids in midsize sedan segment.

[@HemiMike]

Do you still own the car? What is your take now after many years and miles later?

[@lrmccall12]

I am sold!! I too will be purchasing one. Thanks for the review!!

[@nyghtmareblade]

I test drove a 2015 trim SE it has an fast acceleration that will jerk u lite tap of the gas peddle u will jerk forward good car want to buy one to get use to driving one

[@lastpot261]

Great video. Very informative and I honestly didn’t even realize it was 30mjn long lol

[@sonnydonwan]

There is another option for seats, you can get it in red. Thats how I had mine, but it is only doable with the Tuxedo Black paint.

[@Lion-dr7uv]

Beautiful paint job

[@karibald4]

Thank you for sharing! Im getting a new car but Im between a Ford Fiusion or a Ford Taurus, like the outside of the fiusion but like the space and inside of the Taurus, I will save more gas money with Fiusion..did you try the Taurus? And if you did what do you think? I need help thanks

[@SinisaKrznaric]

Great video. I've been thinking about getting this exact car, Tuxedo Black and all. Thanks for the info!

[@megaman4201]

there are some other seat colors, I'm looking at a 2014 Fusion hybrid right now and it has white leather seats.

[@HemiMike]

Well done. Good detailed review

[@bluedorissmith6352]

great vid. I pick up my (nearly new) 2015 hybrid mondeo titanium next week very helpful good explanations ... better than the ford salesman , didnt know the half of it. ! these cars arnt big sellers in the UK. Geoff. U>K.

[@Steelergeek69]

Awesome review !!! In the market for a new car and this is nice

[@Kyzzle112718]

I just love Fords and Toyotas and Hondas!

[@sylviofleurant4921]

Super nice. I love it so much.

[@jacque883]

Great video!! I just bought the exact same one for my son, brand new! It already had 180 miles on it. Do you think that's a lot for a new car?

[@PhilV205]

Wish my parents bought me a car

[@playagang3780]

+PHaitiano lol

[@vino527]

thank you I was wondering what car I should get

[@tuh9287]

Great review! I'm definitely going to buy this car! It's great investment thank you for sharing

[@discoverbeyond-57]

hi DJAJ101 i like your video !! which camera are you usuing

[@ecnirp1999]

How do you think it will do in Winter driving up there? Have you seen any videos of the fusion in the snow? Links? thanks

[@nalavoeun6801]

Im considering a Fusion Hybrid at the moment as well as other cars so I'm curious. What do you consider the best features of the car, besides the mpg?

[@jasonarellano21m]

Why dose the (miles to empty) drop quicker than in actually driving? I drove a 4 mile distance and the miles dropped about 8-10 miles instead of close to 4-5?

[@Lion-dr7uv]

No not 6 speed, sorry dude it's a CVT, (Continuously Variable Transmission) just an FYI

[@raymondramirez9177]

The Fusion drives all the time (100%) on electric. There is no shifting for speed changes. The gas engine is clutched in and runs at a different speed than the electric motor, while adding power because this is a parallel hybrid. There is no change in speed even if the gas engine shuts off. This is why there is no RPM gauge in the hybrid. As you drive, you NEVER need to worry about the gas engine because the transaxle is what controls the power going to the front wheels. You can over-ride that by shifting into "L" which forces the gas engine to stay on until you shift back into "D"..

[@scotty2553]

In the winter, say I'm parked in front of my kids school waiting to pick them up. Does the gas engine keep running for heating purposes?

[@cpscott15]

Scott Golden Engines usually dont heat the car...most cars use an electric heating coil.

[@Internationalmanofmystery]

Can someone help me out I'm thinking of buying a car with good gas mileage I Drive 22 miles one way on the highway to work but on weekends I'm mostly in the city will a hybrid car be good for me?

[@lordtrini]

hows the gas milage so far. I am between this and a prius or the plugin prius. I am 6'2" and I have a 80 mile a day commute so this looks like a great option.

[@DJAJ101]

It's pretty good. All depends how you drive (slowing down and speeding up) and how fast you drive. I have about a 25 mile commute round trip everyday myself (almost all highway). I set the cruse between 55-60mph and I'm getting between 38-43mpg on average for every tank of gas. Love this car for sure it drives great and nice mpg! Hope that helps. Good luck!

[@jacque883]

Great job!! Thank you so much!!

[@MagnoHelio]

Corolla S premium or Fusion Hybrid??? I intend buy a new car, which best Between these cars? Fiesta ST looks good too

[@khristienpennanen1810]

Fusion

[@douglascrocker5448]

How do you charge the batteries? Other than the winter package I didn't see a way to plug it in. Is the gas engine the only way to charge them? Thanks in advance.

[@ChristopherZimmerman]

There is a plug-in model and there is the model that uses the Atkinson Cycle. The Atkinson Cycle uses the inertia from your braking to give energy back to the battery. I believe the plug-in model is called the Ford Fusion Energi

[@kyotokin297]

Does this car has a spare tire in the trunk or not???

[@SNLGUY]

How long are the batteries warrantied/guaranteed for?

[@AustinDashes]

I have a 2013 fusion hybrid with almost 160k miles on the original battery and it still is strong! Use it for Uber. 200-250 miles a day in Texas heat. Highly recommend the fusion hybrid

[@babbu446637]

Do you still own the car? How is it treating you?

[@2muchtime579]

That is Fning beautiful!

[@PacesetterAbbey]

How do you charge the batteries? I don't see any charging port.

[@AustinDashes]

It charges when you drive it. They have a plug in hybrid too with a bigger battery for more EV only range 😊

[@PALEHELL]

My 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium screen stucked on white color after trying to connect it with iphone..now i cant use anything on screen plz help

[@jacque883]

Do you think 180 miles is too much for a new car?

[@joepatroni8777]

27:00 That is just silly. Takes 5 min to do something that takes 1/2 a second to do with your fingers

[@giogio7051]

Is this car pluin? Electrical?

[@abushadi10]

does it come AWD?

[@THEFIREBOY901]

You forgot to censord the license plate

[@emilyrosebelandres98]

How much is this?

[@azera55555]

This is a CVT transmission.. Not a 6 speed automatic.

[@jacque883]

Do you think 6000 miles is a lot for a pre~owned car?

[@ThePC3D]

2014 Audi A3 sedan hot sexy thing 40+ mpg 1.4 turbo petrol....orgasmic interiors and exteriors 28k drive away

[@stevewierzbicki5069]

Hello Everyone, I just bought a 14 Accord Hybrid. Also, I mostly drive within the city; 90 % (Boston, MA.), of the time. I don't know about 50 mpg or greater But I am averaging 47 mpg.'s; in normal driving. I Will admit the 14 Ford Fusion Hybrid is Sexier; better looking But I couldn't pass up the greater mpg.'s and the Larger Fuel Tank in the 14 Accord Hybrid. I Would like to know IF Anyone has Ever Achieved 50 mpg.'s ( in a Fusion Hybrid or a Accord Hybrid )??!!

[@34skyline]
