2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid: Green Car of the Year - The Weekly Driver (blog)

The 2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid includes small changes, but in major areas, the three trim levels remain the same as the inaugural second generation unveiled in 2013. The Weekly Driver Test Drive. My Titanium edition was also equipped with the optional navigation system, automated parallel-parking system, a heated steering wheel and adaptive cruise control with collision warning system and brake intervention. And there’s also the Luxury Driver Assist package: automatic high-beam control, a 110-volt power outlet, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and lane-departure warning and lane assist. A sunroof is optional for both the SE and Titanium, and the Titanium can be had with ventilated front seats. With all of the equipment, the Ford Fusion Hybrid stretches the limits of the usual hybrid sedan features offerings. Which makes sense because the European exterior and interior styling further make the Fusion Hybrid a near entry-level luxury sedan. What was immediately noticeable about the Fusion is that, unlike other hybrids, it isn’t awkward, and nor is there any compromise driving it. It’s a five-passenger sedan with strong acceleration, adept steering and maneuverability. And it’s as comfortable as any non-hybrid, midsize sedan I’ve driven. Further, Ford has equipped the Fusion with extensive acoustic insulation. Source: theweeklydriver.com
