2014 Ford Fusion Hybrid consumer reviews

I researched for a long time before settling on very few candidates, and Ford Fusion Hybrid being one of them. After purchasing, I found almost everything to be meeting or exceeding expectations. First of all, the ride is very comfortable. The power seats with leather look and work very nicely. The noise for all driving conditions is low, and I was surprised how quiet it is even when I opened all windows on the road (the noise level is definitely much lower than a previous car I drove). The engine performs reasonably well. It accelerates quickly with just a little humming, and makes passing and lane changing easy. The average fuel economy has been meeting EPA estimates. Take note - while a new car has been in dealer's lot, turned on and off, and test driven for short distances, the avg MPG on the dashboard may show just 10 - 20, which is to be expected. Under normal driving after I took ownership, each trip (based on the summary shown in the car for a few seconds after turning off ignition) has been in the high 30s or 40s MPG. The interior design is good, functional, and easy to use, except that some touch buttons are overly sensitive. The touch screen is fine, though. Exterior styling is also nice, and I think it can withstand the test of time. Overall it is an excellent car to have at $30k range!

Bought the car on Friday morning and left on a 4 hour road trip the same day. I figured if I did not like the car, we would know by the end of the weekend. Gas mileage on the first tank was not what was hoping for however, I have filled up 3 times since then and gas mileage (calculated manually) has gone up each time, with the last one being 42+ mpg. I am happy with that as my former car was a Prius and while advertised to get 51, I rarely got over 47 without upsetting everyone else on the road. Love everything about the car; ride is great, feature rich, mpg, quiet, looks, etc. My wife does not like that the passenger seat tilts slightly to the rear, but that has been the only complaint. I think of places to go just to be able to drive it again. Wife has a new Cadillac and we both like taking this car rather than hers. Ride is as good, mileage is twice as good.

I have always had GM products, except for my truck (Dodge). After researching and test driving I bought my first Ford - the Fusion Hybrid SE. I picked it up on a Saturday and drove it to my daughters Dance Competition and back. The outside temp was 42 degrees and half of the trip was through hilly areas and the other half was interstate with rolling hills too. I was able to get 43.5 miles to the gallon on a new engine. Prior to this car I had a 2012 Malibu and was told it would take 10,000 to 15,000 miles to "break-in" to get the reported mileage - That never happend - why I switched to FORD. My first tank full I calculated the old fashioned way - divide the mileage since last fill up by the gallons of gas I put in and was VERY happy to see I got 45.4 miles to the gallon.

This is my 2nd Fusion, the first being a 2007 Fusion that I had for 200K miles. After one month of owning a brand new 2014 Fusion Hybrid, I cannot say enough good things about this car. It's more comfortable than my previous Fusion, which was very comfortable, and the technology in this new one blows my mind. From Bluetooth to turn-by-turn navigation (which is far superior to my previous Magellan GPS), this car is everything I would want. My present MPG, which started out at 34.2, is now 36.9 and it goes up every week. On one 21-mile trip in NYC from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to Jamaica, Queens, 13.7 miles was done on the electric motor for a total MPG of 45.1. On a 90 mile trip on the Taconic Parkway I took this past weekend, which is infamous for being very pretty, very hilly and somewhat unforgiving if you're not paying attention, I averaged 44.1 MPG with the cruise control set to 58 MPH. Presently, filling up my 13.5 gallon tank will get me a total of 514 miles. I expect as the weather gets warmer, my mileage will increase...and I couldn't be happier.

I wanted a used Fusion but found what I wanted was not available so I went new. I truly enjoy the comfort and many features. More I love that it is a normal looking car and not boxy with tiny wheels that deny true comfort. I further like that buying it supports jobs in the US. Though it is new and still breaking in, I am getting better than 46 mpg, despite 90% is local driving (city)

Best sales staff ever had - they know what I need about the car, found the exact model I want. Patiently explained the outstanding benefits the model has until I understood. Went through all the details as a service. They are the most responsible sales I ever had. And the car is perfect. Full points, 100%.

Ok, so let's start of with the car. Great miles per gallon, comfort, style, and innovation all around. This is a great design coming from Ford. (I am more of an import kind of guy, but hey, buy USA made right?) They have really brought together some new concepts in which I feel have raised the value of the car substantially. However, with a car such as this, they should be finding a way to make lower priced models as well; seeing how hybrids are made to help the world go green. Now in response to Islos's statement. I understand the frustration with the average miles per gallon used and the miles available on current fuel level. However, does this come as a surprise to you? I implore that anyone whom reads his review does not turn the other way due to this. The average MPG is made up by the average MPG used every few seconds. For instance, when getting on the highway and accelerating to 65 MPH, the average for optimum fuel efficiency, you will bounce between only 6 MPG and 16 MPG depending on acceleration. Once you have gotten on the highway you will see a drastic change. If you just coast down a slight incline without hitting the gas you will get a reading of a current MPG of 99.9. This is because you are using no gas and moving at a high speed rate. Once you begin to barely use the gas to maintain speed, you will see the current MPG bounce between 27.5 and 40.0 MPG. In other words, the total AVG MPG is based off of the way you drive. The car can not predict the way you drive, which route you drive, and what traffic lies ahead. The thing to remember is that AVG MPG is based off the past, not the future.

After purchasing my Ford Fusion Hybrid we made a trip to the central coast of California and was able to make the trip over and back with gas to spare. We averaged 39.7 MPG and expect to do better after the car is broken in. I am very pleased with the looks and performance.

I bought a Fusion Hybrid SE recently. Unlike Prius, Fusion Hybrid is much roomy and also fuel saving (it reports fuel usage for each trip from starting the car to stopping the car and most day time drive trips can reach around 47~48 mpg on freeway, not going too fast though). I am also very pleased with its style, comfort and advanced SYNC w/Ford Touch feature that controls via voice over navigation, climate, phone. multimedia. The rear view camera is also a must for safety. I strongly recommend this outstandingly designed Hybrid vehicle.

I've had the 2014 Fusion hybrid for 2 months and driven it approx 4,500 miles. I'm pretty good at driving it efficiently. However, the dashboard Fuel Economy MPG indicator gives a misleading MPG. Every time I fill the gas tank (13.5 gallons) I always reset the Trip 1 mileage counter and reset the dashboard Fuel Economy MPG indicator. When I get the Low Fuel Alarm I always check how I averaged in the Fuel Economy indicator and I consistently get "50 - 52 MPG". Then I check the Trip 1 mileage counter to see how many miles I got out of my tank (and add the remaining estimated gas miles in the tank, usually 50 miles) and I consistently get approx 560 miles. If my math is right, 560 miles from 13.5 gallons of gas is only 41 MPG. However, the Fuel Economy indicator tells me I got 50 MPG. I wonder what kind of "average" Ford uses?
