Ford got an early holiday gift Tuesday morning--and it’s a bit better than even the company was hoping for.
The new Fusion and the new Mercury Milan hybrids were certified by the EPA at 41 mpg in city driving and 36 mpg on the highway. That beats the Toyota Camry hybrid by eight mpg in the city and two on the highway. Ford also says it betters the Honda Civic hybrid by one mile in city driving.
Ford made the announcement after finishing testing at its lab in Allen Park, Mich., this week. A spokesman confirmed that the Milan hybrid received the same rating from the EPA.
The new Ford hybrids can travel up to 700 miles on a single tank of gasoline and can go as fast as 47 mph in pure electric mode.
The car has a smaller, lighter nickel-metal-hydride battery, which makes 20 percent more power than Ford’s previous setup. The engine is a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder unit that makes about 155 hp and 136 lb-ft of torque. It also recovers considerable energy through regenerative braking.
Inside, the cars use an innovative instrument cluster, called SmartGauge with EcoGuide, to give drivers more details about fuel economy.
Prices are expected to be about $3,200 more for a Fusion or Milan hybrid compared with the conventional models.
