FORD FUSION VS. KIA OPTIMA VEHICLE COMPARISON

Ford Fusion Kia Optima

The Ford Fusion Hybrid’s overall excellence earns our ExtremeTech Editors’ Choice award, for the car category of midsize hybrids (one size bigger than the Toyota Prius). Feel free to disagree in the comments section. In response to comments not yet posted: Yes, we know you won’t get the 47-47-47 mpg EPA claimed by Ford but 41 mpg isn’t bad … yes the list price is higher than the competition but dealer prices are competitive … and you really can make Sync work.

The 2014 Ford Fusion is available with four different four-cylinder engines, three of which are Ford’s turbocharged EcoBoost engines. A six-speed automatic is standard, and a six-speed manual and six-speed auto with paddle shifters are available. Test drivers say the Fusion’s base four-cylinder engine offers sufficient power, though they prefer the extra oomph the turbocharged EcoBoost engines deliver. The six-speed manual transmission that’s paired with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine is liked for its smooth shifts, and critics say it makes the Fusion more enjoyable to drive.

Most hybrid buyers are looking for high mpg first, performance second. No surprise. For its second-generation Fusion Hybrid, Ford tweaked the drivetrain with a new Atkinson-cycle engine that extracts more power from gasoline and used a new constantly variable transmission (CVT). Engine and electric motor generate 188 hp combined, powering the front wheels.
