Default Ford's second hybrid

This hybrid system, developed from that fitted in the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner, combines a 155bhp 2.4-litre petrol engine, a CVT gearbox, regenerative braking and electric motor.

It can do up to 47mph in electric-only mode, and the total city driving range possible between refuelling stops is more than 700 miles. The Fusion Hybrid gets a special EcoGuide display to help drivers achieve maximum economy, plus special badging, unique 17" wheels, and upholstery made from 100% recycled materials.
. . .
Now this is more like it!

I'm looking forward to a test drive.
