With its sleek new design, the all-new 2013 Ford Fusion marks the arrival of the next generation of Ford vehicles that continue to evolve and advance.
In addition to its fresh face, the all-new Fusion offers the broadest selection of fuel-efficient powertrains in the midsize car segment. It offers hybrid and plug-in hybrid alternatives, a pair of EcoBoost® four-cylinder engines, a normally aspirated four-cylinder engine, front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive applications, and a choice between automatic and manually shifted six-speed transmissions.

Did you know?
Fusion’s expected fuel efficiency of up to 37 mpg highway when equipped with the EcoBoost 1.6-liter four cylinder engine matches the Chevrolet Malibu mild hybrid and bests competing four-cylinder offerings from both Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. And Fusion has more interior space than Camry
On sale this fall, Fusion offers consumers seven must-have technologies, including a Lane-Keeping System, adaptive cruise control, active park assist and MyFord Touch®.
The new Fusion is the first vehicle from Ford’s new global CD platform. An all-new Mondeo for Europe and Asia will be introduced later this year and is scheduled to start arriving in dealerships next year. By 2015, more than 10 new products from this platform will account for approximately 1 million global vehicles each year.
2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid / Energi
The 2013 Ford Fusion Energi is a plug-in hybrid aiming to be the most fuel-efficient midsize car in America. Arriving this fall, Fusion Energi is projected to deliver more miles per gallon equivalent than the Chevrolet Volt or Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid.
Fusion Energi is anticipated to deliver more than 100 MPGe, making it the most fuel efficient midsize car in America.
Miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) is used to compare energy consumption of alternative powered vehicles like Fusion Energi. MPGe tells how much gasoline and how much electricity would be used to generate an equal amount of power.
One gallon of gasoline equals 33 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
The redesigned 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid delivers better fuel efficiency than either the Toyota Camry Hybrid or Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. The technology powering Fusion Hybrid has already proven itself in millions of miles of tough driving by California taxi fleets.
Projected fuel economy numbers for the Fusion Hybrid are 47 mpg city, 44 mpg highway.
