Both models offer drivers a way to be more connected to the hybrid driving experience thanks to Ford's "SmartGauge" with "EcoGuide," a unique instrument cluster execution that acts as a coach, engaging drivers real-time to help them achieve maximum fuel economy.

The system features two, high-resolution, full-color LCD screens on either side of the speedometer that can be configured to show different levels of information, including fuel and battery power levels, average and instant miles-per-gallon.

A tutorial mode built into the display helps the driver learn about the instrument cluster and the hybrid in a clever way that does not overwhelm non-technical users. Technical enthusiasts will be more interested in the detailed gauges that help them learn to become more efficient drivers. Drivers choose one of four data screens to display progressive levels of information: Inform, Enlighten, Engage and Empower.

The "Inform" level simply displays fuel level and battery charge status. "Enlighten" adds electric vehicle mode indicator and tachometer. "Engage" adds engine output power and battery output power. "Empower" adds power to wheels and accessory power consumption.

All levels can show instant fuel economy, fuel economy history, odometer, engine coolant temperature, what gear the car is in and trip data (trip fuel economy, time-elapsed fuel economy and miles to empty).
