2020 Ford fusion Hybrid- Are Hybrid cars worthy???

#amir #kian #karsautoreviews
The ford fusion that we tested was powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine matched to an electric motor (188 total system horsepower). Front-wheel drive is standard, as is a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). It is available in three trims: SE, SEL and Titanium.

I have a 2019 ford fusion hybrid titanium, 107.778 miles. Still running strong! only thing I had to change is spark plugs, back rear brakes. Oil changes

I have a 2019 Fusion Hybrid that I bought 3 months ago. I love the car, I went from filling my tank once a week to once a month. For the base model, SE, it still has a good amount of tech as standard. Sync, navigation, blind spot, precollision, etc. I test drove a Prius on the same lot, same year. Was shocked at how harsh the Prius rode.
Fun fact: Ford purchased the patent rights for Toyota's hybrid system. The Fusion hybrid uses the same engine and transmission as the Prius.

Yeah I have a 2019 sel fusion hybrid as well. Great gas mileage. I own a 05 Prius too. The fusion is like a dang luxury car in comparison. I love using the adaptive cruise control and letting the car do all the driving even in stop and go traffic in a major city. It's flawless

[@robertgreenhalge1708]

@@AustinRides7264 I haven't tried the adaptive cruise control, but I have played around with the lane keeping system on the highway. It works perfectly, though it feels strange not having hands on the wheel going 70+mph lol.
You got lucky getting an SEL, probably the rarest of the Fusion models, at least where I am. Almost all Fusion hybrids around me are SE or Titanium. I couldn't justify the extra $8k in Titanium for essentially heated/ventilated leather seats, leather, and a moonroof. I have dealt with Ford "leather" before and it seems to wear and tear much quicker than other brands.

@@robertgreenhalge1708 wow, you're bold letting it steer. The adaptive cruise works like a charm. I love letting it take over going through downtown in the bumper to bumper. Takes all the stress away.
I got the 2019 sel with 27k miles for $18k. Not bad! It doesn't have auto parallel park or the front parking sensors or front cross traffic alert but everything else. The seats are comfy for faux leather. Almost as comfy as the cloth I had in my old se. You're right about Ford's leather not holding up too good. I've owned quite a few Lincolns. 2016, mkz, 2019 MKC...
I personally don't like letting a car steer for me. That's where I draw the line. I drove a Tesla once where it did that and that made me more nervous and stressed....nope!

The Fusion technology goes back to 2013...Camry has been updated...but both have proven to be reliable, few lithium battery issues and the planetary gear cv t, not belt driven...Toyota technology in both. Another consideration is that Camry will cost you a good $4k more...calculate that into the equation as well.

[@robertgreenhalge1708]

Also, I am glad mine does not have a moonroof...I never used them in the past when I have had them, and head space increases a lot.

Could you do a review of a Camry hybrid as well
By the way good review

[@karsautosales]

For sure

[@AustinRides7264]

In terms of performance, the fusion hybrid does much better on the highway. It has a 117 horsepower and almost 200 torque electric motor which is more powerful than the electric motor in the camry. The Camry has the more powerful gas engine with the 2.5 versus 2.0 in the fusion.
For some reason too, the newer fusion hybrids have the gas kick on much sooner than the older ones. I owned a 2013 fusion hybrid with almost 250k miles before it got totalled and it could do 0-60 in alll electric! It would do ev+ mode and i could do lots of highway acceleration, fast acceleration too, in electric. With my 2019 fusion hybrid it doesn't do that 😂

When you changed transmission oil. Which mile. Have you ever faced related battery issues, problem during this 250k miles round

[@AustinRides7264]

@@asimkhalafov982 I actually never changed the transmission fluid. Ford says to do it at the 150k mile mark. I have read from people who own fleets of these cars that they never changed the fluid and the transmission is perfect even after 300k miles and when they did a drain and fill the old fluid wasn't dirty even after that mileage. Go figure! The transmission is bulletproof. Some occasionally have a bad bearing but that's the exception. I only did coolant flushed occasionally. I only had to change the speed sensors and the 12V battery after I had the car hit in a parking lot by a drunk and it sat for a while. That's the only thing I've ever replaced. Most reliable car I've ever had. Original brake pads and suspension too.

Doors are way solid than accord and camry

I agree
