The Ford Fusion Hybrid is a midsize family sedan with gasoline-electric hybrid capability, just like the Honda Accord Hybrid, Toyota Camry Hybrid, and Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid. For 2020, likely its last year on the market, it sees no notable changes.

There’s just one powertrain for the Fusion Hybrid: a combination of a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, a lithium-ion battery, and an electronic continuously variable automatic transmission (eCVT). Together, they drive the front wheels and put out 188 system horsepower. Thanks in part to regenerative braking, the Fusion Hybrid manages 43 mpg city, 41 highway, and 42 combined.

S, SE, SEL, and Titanium models make up the Fusion Hybrid’s range for 2020. The SE comes with projector-beam headlights, LED taillights, automatic headlights, 17-inch painted alloy wheels, a 10-way power driver’s seat, a 60/40 split-folding rear seatback, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 10-way power driver’s seat, an 8-inch Sync 3 touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, keyless start, keyless access, and a partial-LCD instrument cluster. Leather, premium audio, heated and cooled front seats, satellite radio, navigation, a sunroof, and LED fog lights are standard on higher trims.

For 2020, all Fusion Hybrids come with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite. That includes automatic high-beams, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and a reversing camera. Adaptive cruise control is optional. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tested the related gas-only Fusion in 2019. It achieved Good crash scores, but scored Poor on the headlight rating and failed to avoid a pedestrian impact.
