ALEXANDRIA, Ky., Sept. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Successful mid-size sedans are typically highly versatile and practical vehicles. As Ford's most popular car, the Fusion's success has long been fueled by its versatile and functional offerings.

Fusion's versatility begins with a variety of model options. The base 2014 Ford Fusion includes a 2.5L engine with a combined fuel efficiency of 26 miles per gallon. Ford also offers a hybrid platform for more fuel-conscious drivers. The 2.0L housed inside the Fusion Hybrid advances the sedan's fuel efficiency to 47 miles per gallon. Demonstrating the full range of Fusion's versatile options, Ford also offers a plug-in electric version of their most popular car. Called the Ford Fusion Energi, the plug-in achieves a fuel efficiency equivalent to over 100 miles per gallon—a better economy than both the Chevy Volt and Prius Plug-In.

In addition to Ford Fusion's versatile engine options, advanced automotive technology provides a functional driving experience unmatched by other sedans. While the Ford Fusion is in motion, a number of active systems ensure driver safety. Fusion's Lane-Keeping System reads lane markers on the road and alerts the driver if he or she is in danger of veering outside lane boundaries. Adaptive cruise control works similarly, monitoring the proximity of other automobiles and adjusting cruise control speeds to maintain a safe distance.

Fusion Technology aids drivers with getting into and out of parking situations as well. Active Park Assist utilizes ultrasonic sensors to locate parallel parking spaces appropriately sized to accommodate the Fusion's dimensions. Once an adequate space is located, Ford Fusion applies the proper steering angles to successfully navigate and park the car. A rear-view camera is also available to assist Fusion drivers with a real-time view of any objects obstructing the vehicle from being safely operated in reverse.
