Ford Fusion
The Fusion is Ford’s stronghold in the intermediate sedan segment. The current edition of this vehicle comes with optional AWD. The hybrid version is notable for its good fuel economy and the fact that it can run in all-electric mode. Buyers have the choice between a 6-speed manual or an automatic, unless you choose the hybrid which comes with a continuously variable transmission. Finally, you should know that the Fusion’s twin sister is the Lincoln MKZ dressed in her Sunday best!
