For teenagers, getting a driver’s license means freedom. They can come and go as they please, without having to rely on mom and dad for a ride. It also means lots of worry for their parents. Well, the new Fusion is a great vehicle new drivers, and it has plenty of features mom and dad will love too. Here’s a look at some of the best features of the 2020 Ford Fusion.

It has gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrain to choose from, and all of them provide excellent fuel savings. The gas-only engine gets up to 23 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, so it’s an excellent option for those looking for fuel savings.
The hybrid version gets up to 43 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, and the younger generation knows the importance of going green, which the hybrid accomplishes. The plug-in hybrid takes green to the next level. It gets an astounding 109 mpg in the city and 97 mpg on the highway. It also has a total driving range of 610 miles and a range of 26 miles on electric-only power. Read the rest of this entry »
