Reviews Summary

The Fusion may be going away for good, but before it takes its final bow, Ford is doing its best to keep it relevant. This year, the plug-in hybrid version—the Energi—receives increased battery capacity (from 7.6 kWh to 9.0 kWh), thanks to more energy-dense chemistry. In turn, this increases the stated electric range from 21 to 25 miles, putting it right in line with the best-selling plug-in hybrid on the market, the Prius Prime. Additionally, a mild facelift has updated the front and rear, but the real winner for 2019 is Ford’s Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assistance tech. This addition adds blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, automatic high-beams, and a reversing camera. The Fusion is the first vehicle to get this new package, and in one of the smartest moves Ford has made of late, it comes standard across the range.

Reviews Summary

Electric vehicles are the future. Even racing and off-road enthusiast have accepted this reality with the knowledge that EVs can be fun and engaging. We’ll lose the smell and the sounds, but one of the key purposes of racing is to improve the breed, so why not welcome the transition to electric propulsion?

The 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV could not be further from an enthusiast vehicle, but it’s just as important—if not more so—to the auto industry. Introduced for the 2017 model year and updated for 2022, the Bolt EV is the tip of GM’s EV spear. More EVs are coming, but it all starts here.

For 2020, the Bolt EV's range was increased to 259 miles. That carries over to 2022, and the Bolt EV gets standard DC fast charging as well, making it a more realistic option for more car shoppers. But is it enough to get you to make the leap to EV?
