How many miles per gallon does a Ford Fusion Hybrid get?
The Ford Fusion Hybrid typically gets about 42 miles per gallon combined, though exact EPA figures vary by model year and trim. In real-world driving, your mileage may differ based on conditions and driving style.
Launched as Ford’s mid‑size hybrid option, the Fusion Hybrid pairs a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle engine with an electric motor and a battery pack to optimize efficiency. Production ran from 2013 through 2020, and EPA ratings are published for each year and trim. Wheel size, tires, climate, and driving habits all influence the final mileage you see.
What mpg to expect on average
The following illustrates the typical EPA fuel economy you can expect across generations of the Fusion Hybrid.
- Typical combined fuel economy: around 42 mpg (EPA), with a practical range roughly from 40 to 43 mpg across model years.
EPA figures are the official benchmark for fuel economy; actual results can vary based on driving conditions, maintenance, and equipment such as tires and drivetrain configuration.
Year-by-year rough ranges
To give a sense of variation, here is a broad guide to the combined mpg you might see in EPA testing for different generation years.
- 2013–2016 Fusion Hybrid: roughly 41–42 mpg combined (EPA).
- 2017–2018 Fusion Hybrid: roughly 42–43 mpg combined (EPA).
- 2019–2020 Fusion Hybrid: roughly 40–42 mpg combined (EPA).
Exact numbers depend on trim level, wheel/tire choice, and the precise EPA cycle used for the year. For the most accurate figure, check the EPA ratings or the original window sticker for the specific model you’re evaluating.
Real-world mileage and tips
In everyday use, many drivers report mileage that trails EPA estimates by a few mpg, especially in city driving with more stops and starts. Highway cruising and light acceleration can help push mileage closer to the EPA figures.
Tips to maximize fuel economy
- Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure.
- Drive smoothly with gradual acceleration and braking to maximize hybrid system efficiency.
- Avoid prolonged idling and plan routes to minimize stop-and-go traffic when possible.
With mindful driving and regular maintenance, you can approach the Fusion Hybrid’s efficiency potential.
Summary
Across its production years, the Ford Fusion Hybrid generally delivers fuel economy in the low 40s mpg, with typical figures around 42 mpg combined. Exact numbers vary by year, trim, and driving conditions. If you specify a model year and trim, I can provide the precise EPA rating and tailored guidance.
