The Ford Fusion is a sleek and capable sedan. The 2020 Fusion will be available in both an all-gas and hybrid form. Take a look below as we compare and contrast these popular sedans.
The Engines
The most obvious and important parts of this comparison sit at the heart of each vehicle. The all-gas engine 2020 Fusion is a 2.5-liter I-4 generating 175 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid version boasts a 2-liter I-4 engine producing 141 horsepower and 129 pound-feet of torque. The other half of the hybrid is a 1.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. The all-gas engine gets 21 miles per gallon in the city and 31 miles per gallon on the highway. The hybrid engine gets 43 miles per gallon in the city and 41 miles per gallon on the highway. The all-gas engine is more powerful, but the hybrid has better mileage.
Performance
The gas version of the Fusion for 2020 comes equipped with four-wheel independent suspension, independent rear multi-link suspension with a front and rear anti-roll bars, a front anti-roll bar, gas-pressurized shocks, speed-sensing electric power-assist rack-pinion steering, and speed-sensing steering. The hybrid has wheels one inch larger than the gas version, at 17 inches, and shares the performance-related parts above with its gas counterpart.
Technology
The gas version of the Fusion has a four-speaker sound system, where the hybrid has a nine-speaker one. That is quite a gap in terms of sound capabilities. The gas version comes with a single first row LCD monitor, with three optional, where the hybrid has three standard. Both vehicles are equipped with speed-sensitive volume, voice-activated radio, wireless phone connectivity, and FordPass Connect 4G LTE Wi-Fi internet access. A real-time weather display is optional on the gas Fusion and standard on the hybrid. Entertainment technology fans will love the 2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid.
Safety Features
The safety features on both vehicles are very similar in layout, but they bear mentioning anyway. When you see them, you’ll understand how much Ford engineers think about the safety of the drivers and passengers. A security system and panic alarm are standard on both versions of the Fusion, as are brake assist, perimeter approach lights, child safety locks, and a set of eight carefully positioned air bags. These air bags are occupant sensing and designed to reduce impact damage as much as possible.
Comfortable Interiors
Both vehicle variants have a maximum seating capacity of five, but the hybrid has power-adjustable seating standard where the gas version has manually adjusted seating standard. Both versions have chrome interior accents that fit well with the console layout of the cars. Steering wheels on both have buttons for audio control and other functions, so you can do a lot without taking your hands off of the wheel.
