Car and Driver spotted the 2009 Ford Fusion Hybrid as Ford worked out the kinks in its new hybrid sedan.
The hybrid system will reportedly be the similar to that used in the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and Mazda Tribute (not out yet) hybrids. With a 2.3L four cylinder engine mated to a 70kW electric motor, the new hybrid sedan should be pretty nice.
But will it be different enough (or should I say remarkable enough) to help it compete against the other hybrid sedans already out there (Civic, Camry, Altima)? Unlike the Ford Escape Hybrid, which they could claim was the first hybrid SUV, the Fusion is coming to the party fashionably late.
