When you think of a great hybrid vehicle, there may be several vehicles that pop to mind. But just today, the U.S News and World Report issued their annual list of Best Cars for the Money, and the 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid took this award as the most affordable but capable vehicle for the Hybrid Car category.
2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid On Best Cars for the Money List
The Ford Fusion is a combined electric and gas powertrain that can deliver up to 188 horsepower and has a combined electric and gas range of 567 miles on a single tank of gas. Those stats are thanks to 44 mpg numbers in city driving, and 41 mpg for highway driving. That means a lot of driving without needing to fill up the tank.

But as a driver, you don’t only care about how economical a car is, but also how it feels on the road. With many hybrids, the transition from the electric engine to the gas powered motor can be jarring, or require extra un-intuitive buttons. Not so, fortunately, with the Ford Fusion Hybrid. Test drivers from the U.S. News lauded the Ford Fusion Hybrid for its comfortable and well-equipped cabin, it’s responsive accelerations, and its smooth switches from electric to gas power.
The Ford Fusion Hybrid, in addition to being the winner in the Hybrid Car category against such heavy hitters as the Toyota Prius and the Toyota Camry Hybrid, was also a contender in the Affordable Midsize Cars category. Even before investing in advanced trims like the Ford Fusion Titanium Hybrid available on the lot at Akins Ford, this hybrid vehicle delivers on features like dual zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, , and the Ford MyKey system. All of this makes the 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid one of the Best Cars for the Money.
