The Ford Fusion Hybrid, introduced for the first time for the 2010 model, received almost immediate accolades, winning the prize for North American Car of the Year at the 2010 Detroit auto show. The Ford Fusion Hybrid uses a new hybrid powertrain designed with smaller, lighter batteries and streamlined gas-electric operation. While many features, such as voice-activated integrated mobile phone service, come standard, several custom options can be added with feature packages.
Moon and Tune Package
The Moon and Tune package refers to the Ford Fusion Hybrid options for an improved sound system, which includes 12 Sony speakers in 5.1 Dolby surround sound, as well as the in-dash six-disc CD changer with the capability to play MP3 audio that comes standard in the Ford Fusion Hybrid.
Driver's Vision Package
The Drivers Vision package includes several components designed to enhance the safety of operating the Ford Fusion Hybrid, with the blind spot information system that alerts the driver if cars are approaching from up to 65 feet away on either side of the car with an indicator light in the corresponding outer mirror when signaling. The package also includes the cross-traffic alert, which beeps if it detects oncoming traffic when the car is in reverse. Finally, also when in reverse, a rearview camera displays in the rearview mirror or the navigation screen to show what is directly behind the car.
Voice-Activated Navigation
The navigation system option includes an 8-inch touch screen that displays three-dimensional maps, gives real-time traffic reports and displays nearby gas stations when the gas tank is low. The navigation system also includes a 10 GB hard drive that stores up to 2,400 songs for voice-activated listening. The navigation option was not available in Alaska or Hawaii for the initial 2010 run of the Ford Fusion Hybrid.
Leather-Trimmed Seats
The Ford Fusion Hybrid options for leather seats include leather in the front and back seats, with the front seats heated. The drivers seat is a power seat adjustable eight ways, while the front passenger power seat can be adjusted six ways.
Hybrid-Convenience Package
The Hybrid-Convenience Package is one of the manufacturers sets of custom options, and it automatically adds both the Moon and Tune package and the Drivers Vision package to the standard options. The package was priced at an additional cost of $2,250 for the 2010 model.
Hybrid-Luxury Package
The Hybrid-Luxury Package is another set of Ford Fusion Hybrid options, including the Moon and Tune package, the Drivers Vision package, voice-activated navigation and leather seats in addition to the standard vehicle features. The luxury package set is priced at $5,215 for the 2010 model.
