Car and Driver reports the 2013 Ford Fusion Energi (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fusion+energi/) will carry an entry price tag of $39,495 before a $4,000 federal tax credit. That chunk of coin will land you behind the wheel of an SE trim plug-in hybrid, though if you feel like spending a few more pennies, the Fusion Energi Titanium can be had for $40,995. Those both offer a combined driveline output of around 188 horsepower and an all-electric range of around 20 miles depending on driving habits and ambient temperature.
Still, Ford may have a hard time convincing buyers to spend their money on the Energi when the (albeit smaller) Chevrolet Volt (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/volt) lands at $39,145, plus destination, and offers 40 miles of all-electric range. Throw in the fact that the Fusion Hybrid comes in a full $11,500 cheaper than its plug-in sister, and the argument for the Fusion Energi becomes even thinner.2013 Ford Fusion Energi to start at $39,495 (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/21/2013-ford-fusion-energi-starts-at-39-495/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:01:00 EST.
