Excellent quality and comfort.
Excellent vehicle, I love if you live in a place where everything is close to you is very good vehicle, the interior of unique and well made, is very quiet and has a safety package with adaptive speed control lane assistance warning. The trunk is small.

Ford fusion energi platinum features.
I absolutely love my 2017 ford fusion energi platinum. On average, I get 33 mpg. I am able to charge the battery at charge ports, which allows my vehicle to not use any gas. It also has air conditioned seats, heated seats, heated steering wheel, sunroof, automatic windshield wipers, and automatic parking!

Great energy saver, love the way it shuts off at stop lights!!
The electrics are wonky. After 100k miles they started glitching. The reading screen is not very dependable and if the battery dies you cannot get into the trunk to get the booster cables!! I love how it is energy saving. The tires on the car seem to need to be replaced more than normal in my opinion.

The 2017 ford fusion se is the perfect family car with style & tons of space!
The only problem I have ever encountered was both my front windows de-programmed themselves at the same time so when I tried to roll them up they went right back down, the reprogramming process wasn't the easiest thing. Other than that this is the most amazing vehicle I have ever owned. The Bluetooth system is phenomenal, the heated seats and dual heat/ac unit is amazing for winter time. There’s so much trunk space for groceries and camping! The kids love it too! Comfort is beyond amazing!

Best vehicle I have ever owned!
My car is very comfortable and super reliable! It feels like it barely uses gas on long drives! Probably my favorite car out of all the cars I have had in life. It can also connect to Bluetooth so you can listen to your favorite music!! The speakers are amazing too.

Love my plug in hybrid car!!
I absolutely love my car. It gives me the best of both worlds. I love that it is a plug-in hybrid and uses both electric range and gasoline for those times I am going a little farther in my day. The heated seats are definitely loved in the winter. I love that it has apple play in the stereo system!!

Wonderful mix of electric and fuel for a seamless and efficient ride.
No problems. The car drives really smooth. The transition between all electric and hybrid is seamless. The car really can get 20+ miles on all electric. The only downside is that you sacrifice trunk space for the batteries. The interior offers plenty of space. The speakers have good sound whether you play your music loud or soft. The center display screen is big enough that you can see your rear view camera very clearly with minimal strain on your eyes.

Ford fusion energi platinum - luxurious and fuel efficient.
I do not have any problems with my vehicle. It drives well and is extremely comfortable. The interior feels like a luxury brand vehicle, and the interior technology is fun and modern. The gas mileage is amazing and I am very fond of the plug-in feature.

Nice Car,
I like the fuel economy and general comfort. Exceptions would be the front seats could be better and the lack of a spare is horrible. Left me stranded with a flat the inflatable junk would not fix.

Is the ford fusion energi worth it?
Car has great mpg, is comfortable and a fairly roomy cabin. The fold-down rear seat and small trunk pass through help. I especially like the rear camera and safety features of blind-spot, cruise control and lane keeping. Navigation needs periodic updates. Sirius radio and Bluetooth help on long trips. Cons are slow acceleration, poor trunk space with the battery, and no spare tire.

Quiet, comfortable, and efficient, but lacking trunk space.
Performs well, great fuel efficiency for the size. Smooth, comfortable, quiet ride. Easily fits 2 car seats in the back, through sticking our teen in the middle only really works for shorter trips. Only real complaint is the trunk space that's left over with the battery in there.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Allison K.

Great gas mileage, comfortable seats, beautiful color, it has so many pros. Seats are heated, has a built in navigation system, Bluetooth, comfortable back seats. And it is roomy. I have had it for two years and I love it.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Allison K.

Car payment is higher than I would like, there's not a whole lot of space in the trunk because of the battery. Leather seats can get quite hot in the summer. The plug in for the battery takes several hours to charge.

Is The 2017 Ford Fusion Energi A Good Car?

Yes, the only glitch is the check engine light comes on and so you have to take it to the shop and then they tell you nothing is wrong!

How Reliable Is The 2017 Ford Fusion Energi?

It is reliable. It gets good gas mileage because it is a hybrid. It always starts even in snowy weather.

Is The 2017 Ford Fusion Energi A Good Value?

I spent $35,000 on my vehicle. I think it is a little expensive, but this is the second ford fusion I have bought, so I guess I must like it!
