Updating this review after 4 years of ownership. Still love this car. Interior is very well done. It’s remarkably quiet. Very comfortable seats - I got this after driving compact sedans for years and my back and shoulders feel much better in this. The transition between battery and ICE is very smooth. Battery provides the initial boost from a stop and the Atkinson cycle ICE eases in quietly (unless you floor it). Battery will only do 16 miles daily with moderate use of climate controls; using heavy AC or heat cuts that down to 14 or so miles. I have a 32 mile round trip to work, mostly highway driving, do not charge at work, and I typically go 700-900 miles between gas fill-ups in summer and 450-600 miles in winter. Long term fuel economy (which seems to count gas burned but doesn’t account for electricity) is calculated by the car at 66MPG which seems pretty accurate. Used exclusively in hybrid mode, I still get 40-42MPG. Cons: Traction on ice in Ohio winters is only adequate - perhaps tires other than the OEM low rolling resistance ones would be better. Acceleration is only OK - it’s good if the battery is charged, but it’s slower and you can tell the engine is really working harder for lower total output when the battery is depleted. Trunk is small but you can shove probably 8 bags of groceries in there. Overall, it’s a very comfortable car, great for commuting, with sharp looks. If you have to load a car up occasionally with gear, look elsewhere unless you can use the (generous) backseat space to fit things.

GREAT Energy from my Energi !

I am so glad I decided to continue my Fusion purchases. I bought my first Fusion in 2006 and was so happy with it that I when it was time to replace it I started looking at my options within the Fusion family. I purchased my 2018 Fusion Energi at the close of 2018. Because it was a demo of sorts I got a great deal on it and didn't have to absorb any of the usual depreciation. I was somewhat concerned over the limited trunk space but honestly it hasn't been a problem at all. There is plenty of space for normal grocery shopping excursions and if I happen to go to the wholesale club I just drop the back seats and it's not an issue at all. I have even hauled things home from the local garden center in the roomy back seat area (with seats dropped down). It is EXTREMELY quiet when operating. Having owned my Fusion since Sept., 2018 from then til now (March, 2020) I have only put in 6,that's right SIX tanks of gas. I generally can do all of my running around town on electric only. I love the fact that it charges the battery every time I brake or am going downhill. Any concerns I had about power were quickly put to rest when I floored it for the first time to get on the interstate. More than enough energy from my Energi!

Ford hit a home run on this one.

If you live in town close to everything this car is for you. I purchased it with 26000 miles on it. Mine is a titanium model which is loaded. It amassed me how many bells and whistles it has even self dimming head lights. It has safely package with adaptive speed control and lane assist warning. I use my electric only mode in city and fully charge at home. So far I used zero gas 155 miles on electric only and on hybrid almost 44 mpg. If I keep driving in city no gas. It's ideal for grocery shopping short trips. It's super quite have to remember to shut engine off! My wife is very negative about anything she don't like about a car and after she drove this one said that was a smart move buying this car used for 16,999 same as regular Fusions. It had 26000 miles on it and in perfect shape. My wife likes the noise cancellation makes the engine noise go away. The only negative thing is small trunk but we can use the back seat for big luggage etc. We also have a 2011 Chrysler Town and country limited for back up vehicle. A lot of people talk about Bolt all electric but how can you travel very far with out plug in station. I worry about running out of charge. I know all electric car is cheaper to make no gas motor but still about same price as a ford fusion energi more kick back on Fusion from Federal and State plus Ford knock off 2000.00. The next choice for me would be all electric Tesla model three at 40,000 list plus incentives. Nice car plush and a head turner.

Timeless exterior styling, phenomenal fuel economy, low maintenance costs and a delightful car to drive. It's hard to believe Ford built this car and even harder to believe that they've abandoned it (but it still exists as the "Mondeo" in Asia).

Loved my first one it was the Titanium, this one is the Luxury, it is a great car but there are a couple more things that I enjoyed with the Titanium. Gas mileage EXCELLENT. Comfort very good.

Smooth ride! Great on gas! Beautiful interior and trim. (I get a lot of compliments). Trunk is small, but I've managed to put a carry on luggage (put in first), and a large suitcase (lay flat on top of carry on), and a backpack in the trunk for airport travel. I hope Ford reconsiders and continues to manufacture this car. To me it's a home run!

I really like this car. I have had it for 6 months. Pro's = If you drive short distances it gets great gas mileage. My best was 115 MPG. The ride is nice (I came from a Lexus). Handles well. Love the auto brights. Con's; Dashboard is coming apart. Heated steering wheel is a pain to turn on. The automatic back up drive does not work at all! DO NOT TRY IT! Radio sound is just ok. First month it charged for 20 miles on a full charge. 6 month later, the maximum charge I can get is for 13 miles.

HORRIBLE Car- more days in service than driven

So I have had this car for about 2 years now. I must have a serious Lemon considering all the great reviews. My Fusion has had one electrical failure after another. Over two years the car has sat in service more days than I have been able to drive it. IF the car worked, it could be great. It is very comfortable and has an excellent ride. However there is NO TRUNK for those who actually would use such a thing. The battery pack takes up the full space, so you can fit about a rolled Yoga mat and a few bags of groceries in the trunk, then everything else will be in the back seat space. I really want to love this car, but considering all the major mechanical failures, I can only say I am very lucky I leased and did not buy.

Fushion confusion

The 2 main reasons for making this purchase were: The beautiful interior and the salesman told us when charged I would get 100 miles on the battery. After we signed the paperwork and he was going over the instrument panel we found out it's around 20. The car is very nice and rides well, my mileage averages about 50MPG and fully charged I get 19-21 miles on the battery. I do miss having "pick up". Over all it's a very nice vehicle.
