Fast Cars: 2014 Ford Fusion Energi Chilly Drive and Review
Awesome fast car review: 2014 Ford Fusion Energi Chilly Drive and Review
( ) The 2014 Ford Fusion Energi is a plugin hybrid with a European flair for the dramatic. With a combined MPGe of 100, the 2014 Ford Fusion Energi is also very fuel efficient when driven on a full charge. In another accurate, fun and informative TFLcar review, Nathan drives the plugin hybrid on a very cold and chilly Colorado morning to see how it performs.

Disclaimer: The reviewer is rather ignorant. The Michelin tires are low-resistance all-season tires, not "Mud & Snow". No low-resistance tires are M&S tires.
At 28 seconds, what is the car with the navigation folding out of the dash? And, go…
Can you review the 2018 Energi Platinum?
my route is 16 miles 5 days and 40 miles 1 day of the week, there for i can get away with 1 $ on gas a week hmm
Thanks for the video. Was looking at the Volt for my commute, but this seems more roomy. Would like to drive wherever this is instead of in horrid LA traffic.
In love with Ford motor company

This isn't built in America, it is built in Mexico. The price difference between Hybrid and Energi is covered by the tax credit.
Is it me, or did Ford take the general aesthetics from the Aston Martin DB9? Not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, but there are quite a few parallels.
Ford Mondeo 😀
I like the front and side body lines, but the rearend is just butt ugly. I'll stick with my Accord.
Do you think the cold effected the range at all?
the whole point of a plugin hybrid is if you dont travel far from home most of the time, so you dont use a drop of gas, whereas a hybrid depends on the gas engine at all times.
Not enough information was said about the car. You just spoke on how you liked it or not.
What song did you guys use for the review?
Nathan: reason this model is offered is:
1) You get 4K federal tax credit. In CA you get additional $1500 on top of that
2) In CA you get carpool HOV access (until these stickers run out this year)
3) If you drive less than 20 miles a day you won't have to spend any money on gas
Main market is really CA and it's selling decent there (all of US sales was 6K in 2013). Certainly cargo space is limited and you wonder why didn't Ford take the European Fusion liftback to improve access and space. But for car commuter car it certainly has advantages in CA.
Also, review mirror without a proper module case to cover the wiring is pretty inexcusable today. Am exposed wire like that looks tacky and cheap. It's. Shame, because otherwise the interior is very good.
Seats look like they came straight out of a 2006-2009 Passat /Passat CC. They look great
The music was terrible, but other than that cool vid
ford is batter thn toyato
theres gotta be a better place for those batteries.
is roof a possible option? would make it look funny, but…
Sweet drug rug
Take the cameras off during your B rolls. Looks dumb with them on.
Someone should tell Ford that they spelled "Energy" wrong lol….
Electric vehicle driving in chilly weather
I like the new music! Kinda light on the drive review, no 0-60 in a plug-in?
5:37 Lines are European because thid car was designed in Germany. It already has current (old) Mondeo's rear end.
Don't you love reviews that are making all sorts of excuses for the vehicle? The apology for the tires was amazing.
Great review!
Great car!
100mpg? Hmm, so how far can you really go with this car before it dies and you have to charge it? And how easy is it to charge it?
we are still waiting for new mondeo in eu ?
In FWD with the Ecoboost it is a torque steering pig.. needs the AWD for the Ecoboost… I do like the front end of the Fusion more than my SHO…
The interior materials in this car are fantastic. I sat in one at an auto show and everything is soft touch, even in the back seats and the areas between the seat and the center console.
Please tell me you actually charged it this time. Last time you compared the cmax energi and tested it uncharged in the mpg comparison to the diesel jetta I think it was.
I'M pretty sure that ford payed you for that episode,this car is ugly as hell.
No link to your Fusion Hybrid review for comparison?
I have to admit the Fusion looks really good in that dark gray color. Oh and by the way Nathan alittle more than half of all Fusions are made in Mexico while the other half are built alongside the Mustang at the Flat Rock plant.
Hate that 2 cent piece of cable connecting the electrics to the rear view mirror. C'mon Ford, u can do better…
It's a massive car, could carry 5 people but hold no luggage?
My hatchback can do the same but i've got enough room for 3 suitcases.
Bit of a logic fail having a huge car that's so impractical.
Not a Ford guy but gotta admit this is a well rounded good car in all it's trims.
Anybody else seeing the lines when there's movement in the camera?
I can't stand the flush buttons on the center stack…
What's with that background music at 2:06 on. Is this a porno??? 😀
1:25 nice porno music lol
Aston Martin's copycat
this is an aston martin!!!! :p
A stylish car we wont get them for a while in Europe, all to do with factory closures and re openings
love the intro song, dont ever change it
Given the price jump from hybrid to plug in hybrid it does not make any economic sense. Wonder if Ford built it as a rule beater which allows it to be meet state mandates for mixes of cars by type, gas, hybrid, plug in etc.
Nice looking as are all the Fusions.
A+
