The 2013 Ford Fusion has appealing styling with a unique front end that gives it a compelling street presence reinforced by its fastback roofline. The interior is elegant with contrasting red stitching and is spacious with power seats, lumbar support, and cup holders. The center dash display is intuitive and easy to use for entertainment, navigation, backup camera, although it has some black plastic. It has good legroom, a center armrest, and a fold-down rear seat that provides reasonable trunk space. The hybrid system generates 188 HP for good acceleration and passing on the highway. One cool feature is being able to drive almost 35 kph on just the electric motor by watching the battery drain instead of the gas gauge.
