The “10 Best” list is carefully crafted by a panel of 18 Car and Driver magazine editors who put 58 vehicles through a rigorous testing process at a secret base in southeast Michigan. The cars are assessed on functional performance, driving satisfaction, and value.

Car and Driver is a fan of the Fusion’s hybrid powertrain, which has beat out the competition and won over fuel conscious drivers in Maryland.

Groundbreaking Technology From Ford

The Fusion operates on both the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and the lighter weight nickel-metal hydride batteries. Drivers will notice a must smoother ride with the Fusion compared to other hybrids, thanks to the CVT transmission.

The SmartGauge with EcoGuide dual LCD cluster is truly the gem of the Ford Fusion Hybrid. A feature named Empower trains the consumer to drive more economically through green-leaf icons on the display. Maryland drivers will be more aware of the state of the batteries’ charge and current fuel mileage without any difficulty.

The Fusion also exceeds expectations in safety, with the option of a Blind Spot Information System that warns the driver of another vehicle in their blind spot and a rearview camera system.

Industry Change That Benefits The Maryland Consumer

Hybrid vehicles are more than just a trend and can be the best choice for fuel-conscious consumer who doesn’t want to lose on performance. For more information, contact Preston Ford and visit www.prestonford.com.
