When it comes to midsize sedans are mixed, you have a selection of 2012 Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata hybrid in 2012, and 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid 2012.
Currently Camry will receive 43 mpg (miles per gallon) city and 39 mpg highway, the Fusion gets 41 mpg city and 36 mpg, the hybrid Sonata and Kia Optima Hybrid at 35 mpg city and 40 miles per gallon. Highway
Percentage for the Camry Hybrid is $ 25.900, while the Sonata hybrid is $ 26,650, and the Optima Hybrid starts at $ 27 250 and the price at the start of the Fusion is $ 28,775. To re-examine "the building to order" pages each product on the Internet, it seems that Ford offers the most in the field of technology and raise the level of welfare (and of course, the highest price ).
Sonata Hybrid, hybrid and Optima offer both 1.4 kilowatts hours of battery Lithium Polymer packs work with the 2.4L inline four-cylinder gas. Ford and Toyota currently offers four-cylinder Atkinson cycle gas to work with groups of nickel hydride batteries.
But in January 2012 North American International, the Ford Fusion Hybrid in 2013 (which should be available in the fourth quarter 2012). Hybrid and Ford has revised HV, and lighter lithium-ion battery coupled to a more efficient production of high gas 2.0L four-cylinder engine. Although it is not scored the Environmental Protection Agency has officially so far, and Ford expects the new model to get to 47 mpg city and 44 mpg highway. With a rating of 46 mpg combined, and it is better than the current Camry 41 mpg combined, and the Sonata ranked 37 MPG.
Ford will also be available fusion energy - plug-in hybrid that will get a score of miles per gallon combined over 100 MPGE (the equivalent of miles per gallon). And MPGE is a new classification and with the plug-in electric cars, or only, and it will be a new classification standard of the Agency for Environmental Protection. This means that the merger will have better odds of the economy of the Toyota Prius (95 MPGE) or the Chevy Volt (93 in MPGE). In addition, Ford is also introducing the new C-Max Engeri, compact multi-van, which will also be a plug-in hybrid.
But back to this 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid ... This car is set so that in good conditions, it can operate outside of the battery power at speeds up to 62 miles per hour. Then it will use the gasoline engine to add power to all. An estimated four-cylinder 180 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque being. It is the transmission front wheel drive with an electronically controlled continuously variable.
In addition, Ford is not kind in his quest to be at the forefront of the technology stack. Fusion Hybrid can come equipped with its newly redesigned and MyFord Touch touch screen navigation system, park an active support system, and push the start button, eight bags, to fit the collision warning regulator speed, information system and instead a new corridor to maintain order. There is a lot of technology! Any new owner must take a class just to be able to drive their new car.
Importantly, Ford has redesigned the car and it's definitely design elements reminiscent of Aston Martin, we can not wait to see more of this car. We expect more information on this new Ford car, and if it proves how you can expect ... Then this will result in a whole new level of efficiency and performance for mid-size sedan hybrid piece
