How does the 2015 Fusion Hybrid Compares to the Camry Hybrid

2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid at Gresham Ford
The Ford Fusion Hybrid exudes an upscale in design and seating 5 comfortably, the 2015 Fusion Hybrid is proof that you don’t have to sacrifice style and performance to enjoy hybrid fuel efficiency. Portlanders value the environment - that's why we choose to live here, right?  With a long list of standard and available features, Fusion Hybrid makes a statement about what a hybrid vehicle can be.  With an EPA-estimated 44 city/41 highway/42 combined mpg with the 188-net horsepower – gas engine and electric traction motor combined this Ford Fusion Hybrid can travel up to 85 mph on electric power alone.  Many Portland area residents have found that the Ford Fusion Hybrid exceeds their expectations with new technology like the Active Grille Shutters that help to facilitate the incredible MPG.  

If you are comparing the Ford Fusion Hybrid to the Camry there are a few questions that you may have and we will try to address them below.  First simply stated the Camry Hybrid may have more net horsepower, but with 188 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 47 mpg across the board, Fusion Hybrid delivers the balanced power and efficiency that is so important for hybrid vehicles.  Gresham Ford would encourage you to personally test drive the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid to personally see if it is "zippy" enough for you.  

Another large difference in technology is evident when considering the approach to combat interior noise.  The Camry Hybrid uses passive sound-controlling materials to reduce NVH, but it has nothing like Fusion Hybrid, which uses the same technology as noise-canceling headphones to help control noise actively.  

When inspecting the interior of each vehicle you may also notice that unlike Camry Hybrid’s small displays, the largeSmartGauge screens in Fusion Hybrid give the hybrid performance displays the prominence they deserve. Plus, the large screens make it easier to see how efficiently you’re driving.  SmartGauge® with EcoGuide has two large 4.2-inch LCD screens on either side of the
speedometer and includes a wide selection of display options to meet each driver’s needs.
