"The Fusion brought a vast assortment of choice that has the potential to appeal to every type of driver, from the eco-conscious to the sport-minded," said Angus MacKenzie, MOTOR TREND editor-in-chief.

The new Fusion Hybrid model delivers an EPA estimated 41 mpg rating in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, and also offers new SmartGauge technology with EcoGuide that coaches hybrid drivers to maximize fuel efficiency.
