The new Ford
Fusion hybrid is 8 miles per gallon more fuel
efficient than the Toyota Camry hybrid in city
traffic, but it will also cost over $1,000 more than
the Camry hybrid.
According
to the EPA, the $27,270 Fusion hybrid achieves 41
miles per gallon in the city and the 36 on the
highway. The $26,150 Camry
hybrid achieves 33 mpg in the city and 34 on the
highway.
Is the Fusion hybrid worth the extra cost compared to
the Camry hybrid, purely in terms of fuel economy? Not
necessarily, especially for highway drivers. For city
drivers, however, the Fusion hybrid makes a compelling
case. Of course, hybrid tax credits are still
available for the Fusion hybrid, so this price
difference is currently less relevant.
Regardless, the Fusion hybrid is a pretty impressive
offering from Ford. Now, if only they could start
seriously ramping up yearly production of their hybrid
cars.
