2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid consumer reviews

I work for a very large entity and we have a fleet of hundred's of vehicles such as Impala, Camry Hybrid, Civic Hybrid, Ford Fusion Hybrid and a few Police Interceptors. I have driven all of the above models and the Fusion is my favourite to drive. Way better handling and styling than the Camry. Way above the Civic at all levels. It is definitely a fun car to drive and it does look very good. The whole futuristic dashboard makes it feel like an incredibly advanced machine which is actually what it is and what it should be like. Thumbs up Ford!!!

Have had my 2011 Fusion Hybrid for 6 weeks and absolutely love this car. It is extremely quite and smooth as silk. Purchased the model with leather, navigation, back up camera and upgraded stereo because it was the only one available. These options and SYNC make this a truly luxury vehicle. Have driven 2400 miles with equal highway and city driving and average about 37 mph. City is about 40 and highway is around 40. A smaller car may have a better overall dollar value for basic transportation but this car feels like a $50,000 car and I feel it is a great choice for return on investment.

The Rose got a new job 50 miles away and it was time to replace the 97 Civic. We looked at the Prius, the Civic Hybrid, and the mid-sized hybrids from Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Hyundai. The Ford had the best combination of comfort, fuel efficiency, driveability, navigation assistance, and sportiness (especially with red exterior and black interior). After five days with the new car, we're both very satisfied, and the commute seems a lot less stressful.

This is the second hybrid car I have owned. This is so much better than the civic I had. My real world mileage is close the civic and the car is so much nicer and more comfortable. I didn't plan to get the GPS system but I love it, the sirius radio and the screen. The whole family is very happy with the car.

Took delivery a week ago. Car is super quiet and comfortable to ride in. Handles extremely well and offers plenty of technology, such as SYNC, rear view camera, blind spot warning system, rain sensing wipers and speed sensitive radio volume (501c option package.) Compred to luxury that I have driven such as Acura TL, Cadillac CTS and xxx and Olds Aurora it is better and with greater fuel economy. Computer shows 36.9 MPG at half empty fuel gauge; expect to get about 650 miles per tankful. This car is tough to beat and it's only $1000 more expensive than the 2005 Escape Hybrid AWD that traded for it.

Purchased a 2009 VW TDI (Certified used) from VW and traded it in 6 weeks later for the Ford Fusion Hybrid. We hated the VW the Turbo lag felt like playing chicken with oncoming traffic every time you made a left in an intersection, the smell of the (p)leather interior is strange, and just a dark depressing interior and just a lacking of bells and whistles. I was getting 39.5 MPG on diesel. I would say the 2009-10 VW is better than the cheapened 2011 models. We drove the Ford Fusion Hybrid and immediately knew our short time with the VW was over, sylish bright interior, real leather smell, lights, back up camera, and power seats, the electric motor keeps the wheels turning when off the gas and is quick to respond, already getting 42 MPG on regular gas, it did cost me an extra $7,000 which will take years to make up at the pump, but took 5 minutes to make up making my wife happy and giving her piece of mind..Thanks

This Ford product is safer, better looking, and far more comfortable for a 6 foot 4 inch driver or passenger. than both of the foreign competition. The Ford engineers did an excellent job. And the local Ford dealership is excellent.

same as above love this car only wish it had memory available for changing drivers on mirrors and seats.and heated steering wheel

I recently downsized from a full size SUV (12-18 MPG) to a 2020 Fusion Hybrid. I love this car! First of all it has ever bell, whistle and safety feature imaginable. The BLIS and rear warning systems are excellent and the SYNC beats any blue tooth, voice activated system I've had in a vehicle. The best part, however, is the gas mileage. Listed at 36-41, I routinely get mid 40-50, since I've learned to drive differently with the hybrid. I can easily stay on the EV up to 45 mph and on the highway using cruise control, I average around 48-50 mpg.

I've had my Fusion Hybrid for about 15 months now and have put about 26,000 miles on it. The worst thing I can say about this car is that the stock wiper blades wore out too fast. Most of my driving is commuting, and I average about 42mpg driving a bit above the speed limit. It has very little wind noise at speed; most of the noise comes from the hard high-mileage tires. The car handles great--no surprises at the limits of adhesion--and the traction control doesn't feel like it's just switched the car off. Acceleration is 0-60 in the mid 8's, way better than the 11-12 you'll get in a Prius or Insight. Not head-snapping, but freeway on-ramps don't rely on the power of prayer. There's non of the mushy, clunky braking you get with other hybrids. You don't feel the transitions between conventional and regenerative braking. The electronics are top-notch, especially the real-time traffic and weather maps. I traded in an 8-year-old Audi A6 for this, and while there are a couple things about the Audi that I miss, there's nothing worth an extra $25K that a new Audi would cost. In short, this is a very good midrange sedan that just happens to be a hybrid. (Oh BTW, you could offer a grille that's more Ford Fusion and less Gillette Fusion. :)
