Even though small crossover SUVs are now a go-to choice for many families, midsize sedans still enjoy some advantages. One of the perks is the widespread availability of fuel-sipping hybrid models. The 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid is a good example. It combines the sleek look and surprisingly dynamic handling of the standard Fusion with a more efficient powertrain that's good for 42 mpg in combined city/highway driving.

The current-generation Fusion Hybrid has been around for a while, but Ford has been updating it throughout its life cycle to keep it fresh. Standard on every Fusion Hybrid is Ford's excellent Sync 3 infotainment system. It comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and is intuitive and easy to use. Slight exterior restyling this year also helps differentiate 2019 models from previous Fusion Hybrids.

It's true that some other rival hybrid sedans post slightly higher fuel economy. The Accord Hybrid, for example, gets 47 mpg. As a total package, though, the Fusion Hybrid continues to be one of the best.

Trim levels & features

The 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid is a front-wheel-drive midsize sedan powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine matched to an electric motor (188 total system horsepower). It is available in three trims: SE, SEL and Titanium. Unlike last year, no packages or stand-alone options are offered except a sunroof for SE and SEL models.

Standard features on the SE model include 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights and taillights, remote locking and unlocking, exterior keypad entry, push-button ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air vents, adaptive cruise control, an eight-way power driver's seat (with power lumbar adjustment), a six-way power passenger seat, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, two configurable driver information displays and a 60/40-split fold-down rear seat.

Standard technology features include Bluetooth, the Sync 3 infotainment system, navigation, an 8-inch touchscreen, and a nine-speaker audio system with two USB ports, satellite radio, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Safety features include a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, automatic wipers, and Ford's Co-Pilot360 Protect package, which includes automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning and mitigation, and a pre-collision warning system with automatic braking and pedestrian detection.

Upgrading to the SEL adds chrome exterior trim, LED headlights, restyled taillights, remote engine start, auto-dimming rearview and driver-side mirrors, heated mirrors, keyless entry, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, driver-seat memory settings, heated front seats, premium vinyl upholstery and an 11-speaker audio system.

A sunroof is optional for SE and SEL models.

The range-topping Titanium comes with everything above, plus 18-inch wheels, a mesh grille, LED foglights, a rear spoiler, ambient interior lighting, a heated steering wheel, an eight-way passenger seat (with two-way lumbar), ventilated front sport seats, leather upholstery, inflatable rear seat belts, and a 12-speaker Sony audio system with a CD player and HD radio.

Trim tested

Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the Ford Fusion Hybrid Platinum (2.0L inline-4 hybrid | CVT automatic | FWD).

NOTE: Since this test was conducted in 2017, the current Fusion Hybrid has received some revisions, including the deletion of the Platinum model for 2019. However, this rating is almost entirely unaffected by its unique features. Our findings remain applicable to this year's Fusion Hybrid.

Driving

As expected, the Fusion Hybrid isn't speedy. But unlike other hybrids, the car feels admirably coordinated and willing when the road starts to turn and twist. It could be even better, but lifeless steering feel brings down our rating.

Acceleration

Typical of many hybrid family sedans, the Fusion feels timid. You'll likely be pressing the gas pedal more than expected when getting up to passing speed on the highway or climbing a grade. In our acceleration test, it went 0-60 mph in 9 seconds, which is average for the segment.

Braking

The brakes don't have much initial bite, which makes it hard to consistently apply the correct amount of pedal pressure to stop smoothly. But the switchover between regenerative braking and mechanical braking is smooth. Our panic-stop test from 60 mph took 123 feet, just slightly longer than average.

Steering

2.5

The steering effort is quite light, whether you're circulating through a parking lot or cruising at highway speeds. And there isn't much feel or feedback, so it's never clear how hard the tires are working. We found ourselves making frequent tiny corrections to maintain our desired path.

Handling

The Fusion Hybrid feels composed and stable, and it doesn't roll much in corners. And despite lackluster steering feedback, it responds eagerly to steering inputs. Fuel-saving tires don't offer a ton of grip, but there's still enough to maintain a steady pace on your favorite winding road.

Drivability

The Fusion Hybrid is easy to drive around town, although the gas and brake pedals don't feel especially responsive. It leaves from stops under smooth EV power but lurches forward when the gas engine kicks on a moment later. Adaptive cruise is great at keeping a set speed, even on steep downgrades.

Comfort

We could spend all day in a Fusion Hybrid. It has a supple ride, and the seats, particularly the cloth ones, are supportive and comfy. The hybrid powertrain is admirably smooth and quiet, though it does get loud when you floor it. It comes standard with an effective automatic climate control system.

Seat comfort

The standard cloth seats are nicely padded and offer a great balance of support and comfort that lasts for hours. But we found it harder to be comfortable in the optional leather seats, which are taut and stiffer. The front headrests are adjustable. Outboard rear seats are set at a pleasant angle.

Ride comfort

3.5

The Fusion Hybrid's suspension is perhaps a little too softly tuned, and it can feel a little floaty when you drive over certain dips in the road. Otherwise, the suspension soaks up road bumps with ease and does a good job of isolating passengers from most harsh impacts.

Noise & vibration

4.5

The Fusion's double-pane side windows do an excellent job of minimizing tire and wind noise at high speeds. There's barely a whisper of each. The hybrid powertrain is silent at idle and in EV mode. The gas engine is quiet when cruising but can sound coarse and raspy under maximum acceleration.

Climate control

4.5

The standard dual-zone climate control works well and keeps the cabin cool despite hot summer temps outside. Backseat passengers have air vents of their own. The Titanium comes with a heated steering wheel and front-seat ventilation, though the latter doesn't feel particularly effective.

Interior

Almost everyone should find the Fusion's interior pleasant and accommodating. It's easy to get in and out of, the driving position is highly adjustable, and the cabin offers a generous amount of space. Tall passengers might take issue with the sloping rear roofline when getting into the back seat.

Ease of use

3.5

The Hybrid's rotary transmission shifter takes getting used to. But most other cabin controls are nicely grouped and easy to operate at a glance. The steering wheel buttons make it easy to sort through the comprehensive dashboard data screen.

Getting in/getting out

Most occupants will find it easy to climb in and out of the Fusion thanks to wide-opening doors and seats that are set at an inviting height. The only exception is the sloping rear roofline, which might prompt those over 6 feet tall to duck as they slide into the back seat.

Driving position

4.5

The tilt-and-telescoping wheel and the driver's seat have a generous adjustment range. Both the cloth and leather seats offer height adjustments, but we've found that the seat bottoms with the leather upholstery don't lower as much as the cloth-upholstered seats.

Roominess

4.5

The Fusion feels spacious, and its front and rear seats provide above-average levels of head-, leg- and hiproom. Rear headroom is limited by the sloping rear roofline, but only those over 6 feet tall should notice. The optional sunroof takes a bite out of headroom.

Visibility

3.5

Outward visibility is good despite fairly thick windshield pillars. The rear blind spot is larger than average due to a broad rear roof pillar and a smaller-than-average rear quarter window. A rearview camera and even rear parking sensors are standard.

Utility

Unlike many hybrid sedans, the Fusion Hybrid has its trunk-mounted battery pack mounted low enough that a folding back seat and trunk pass-through are possible, which makes up for its modest nominal trunk volume. There are lots of nice-size storage compartments and thoughtful nooks inside the cabin.

Small-item storage

4.5

Storage spaces include a large bin under the front armrest and a spacious tray under the center console. Both front and rear center armrests have two cupholders, and there's one in each of the wide door pockets. None will hold anything larger than an average-size water bottle or coffee cup.

Cargo space

4.5

The Fusion Hybrid offers 12 cubic feet of trunk space, which is sufficient but less than some hybrid competitors. But the Fusion does have rear seats that can be folded down to increase cargo capacity. Most other hybrid sedans don't have this feature.

Child safety seat accommodation

Each of the outboard rear seats is flanked by a pair of LATCH hooks. But they are set deep into the gap between the cushion and backrest, and the stiffness of our car's leather seats made them hard to access. A seat can be mounted in the center because the rear shelf has three anchors.

Technology

4.5

With the Sync 3 infotainment system and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Ford Fusion is one of the more approachable, tech-friendly vehicles on the market. The Fusion offers many safety-related driver aids, and they come standard on every model.

Audio & navigation

3.5

Sync 3 and its onboard navigation are much better than the old MyFord Touch system. Like a smartphone, Sync 3 has big virtual buttons and the ability to swipe through menus. The satellite radio signal often dropped, though, likely due to a weak antenna, and max-volume audio quality isn't great.

Smartphone integration

All Fusion Hybrids feature the Sync 3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality and two USB ports. If you don't utilize these systems, you can still pair your phone the old-fashioned way via Bluetooth, which is a nice option to have.

Driver aids

4.5

All Fusion Hybrids come standard with the latest active safety systems, including adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and rear parking sensors.

Voice control

As always, Ford's voice controls are excellent. Natural language and simple commands do wonders to play music, change radio stations, input navigation destinations or place calls. And you have the option to hold the voice button longer to access Siri on your paired smartphone.

Ford Fusion Hybrid vs. the competition

2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid

2019 Ford Fusion Energi

Ford Fusion Hybrid vs. Ford Fusion Energi

Both Ford Fusion variants utilize a hybrid powertrain to reduce gasoline consumption, but the Energi can be plugged in to give it a greater all-electric driving range. With a fully charged battery, the Energi can drive up to 21 miles under electric power before the engine kicks on. Only available in the Titanium trim, the Energi is pricier than the Hybrid in an overall sense, but it's not much more expensive than a similarly equipped Hybrid.

Ford Fusion Hybrid vs. Toyota Prius

The Fusion Hybrid and Toyota Prius go about their duties in much different ways. The Fusion Hybrid is a more traditional sedan, offering a roomy back seat and a large trunk. It also has a more intuitive infotainment system that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. On the other hand, the Prius offers greater utility because of its hatchback body style. It's much more fuel-efficient than the Fusion Hybrid, too.

Ford Fusion Hybrid vs. Honda Accord Hybrid

Fully redesigned just last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid has a fresher design than the aging Fusion Hybrid. The Honda's base price is lower, but pricing matches up more closely with the Fusion as you move up to the more expensive trims. The exception is the Accord's top-level Touring trim, which provides some extra features that aren't available on the Fusion.

More about the 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid

The 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid marries the versatility of the family-friendly midsize sedan with a fuel-sipping electrified powertrain. Like most Fords, the Fusion Hybrid is offered in several trim levels, from a budget-friendly option with modest creature comforts to a luxurious offering with all the bells and whistles. In between are two trims with a dizzying number of features packages and additional options.

The 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid is available in three trims: SE, SEL and Titanium. The SE sets the stage with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor combo that it shares with the rest of the Fusion Hybrid lineup. It's well-equipped, with standard features including a rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, a nine-speaker audio system, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

There's a bit of a price bump with the SEL, but it adds several desirable features, including LED headlights, auto-dimming mirrors, keyless entry, heated front seats, premium vinyl upholstery and an 11-speaker audio system. The top-of-the-line Titanium further adds a rear spoiler, ambient lighting, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front sport seats, leather upholstery, and a Sony Audio system.

Compared to other hybrid sedans, the Fusion SE is a little more expensive than rivals' base models, but its list of standard features is appropriately robust, while the Titanium is closer in price to fully loaded rivals. The Fusion Hybrid's weaknesses are mostly limited to middling performance and just-average fuel economy estimates. If you're like us and believe the 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid's strengths more than make up for its shortcomings, use the robust shopping tools provided by Edmunds to build and find your perfect car.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
