The 2011 Ford Fusion  is Impressive power and great economy.

Detroit Ford Fusion customers, does having a powerful engine mean you have to sacrifice economy? The answer is no, if you're driving a mid-size Ford Fusion. The 2.5L Duratec I-4 engine generates power ratings of 175 horsepower and 172 lbs./ft. of torque, while delivering impressive city and highway mpg.* And imagine getting 41 miles per gallon and being able to travel over 700 miles on a single tank of gas in city traffic. That's the kind of mileage you can expect to achieve in a Fusion Hybrid. No compromise  expect nothing less in a Ford Fusion.

The 2011 Ford Fusion  provides Hybrid Performance

Drive electric only. Or electric and gas combined. Fusion Hybrid propulsion is supplied by a combination of two sources: an electric motor powered by an innovative nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery and the next generation of the 2.5L Atkinson-Cycle I-4 gas engine. Fusion Hybrid can travel up to 47 miles per hour in Electric Vehicle mode alone, a higher speed than any other hybrid vehicle. The gas engine kicks in below 47 mph when extra power is needed, such as in passing situations, and provides the main source of power above 47 mph. Both the gas engine and the electric motor combine to deliver a power rating of 191 net horsepower when you need maximum power.

Regenerative Braking lets your 2011 Ford Fusion  save on gas.

Regenerative braking captures 94 percent of energy lost to braking friction. When you apply the brakes in a conventional vehicle, kinetic energy is lost to heat due to friction. During braking in the Fusion Hybrid, the regenerative braking system captures 94 percent of this energy that is normally lost and sends it back to the battery pack to be stored for later use. Not only is regenerative braking efficient, but it helps minimize wear on the brake pads, lowering the cost of maintenance.
