Key Ford Hybrid Features

Luxury & Convenience

Going with a hybrid doesn't mean giving up the luxuries of an all-gas-powered vehicle. With the same Ford-standard level of comfort, you can enjoy extra features like monitoring your battery charge levels or your CO2 emissions right from the FordPass app for your mobile device.

Fuel-Saving and Money-Saving Technology

In many cases, car owners that drive plug-in hybrid vehicles are eligible for a U.S. federal income tax credit through the Qualified Plug-In Electric Drive Motor Credit. Some states even offer financial rebates upon the purchase of a hybrid and lower charging station rates. Plus, you might be exempt from having to go through clean-air emissions tests.

SmartGauge with EcoGuide

This technology provides real-time information that helps you make the most of your hybrid experience and maximize efficiency. You can monitor your engine and battery power, see how close you are to the gasoline engine on/off threshold and the amount of power you're using.

Quick Charging

Ford's plug-in hybrid vehicles can be recharged in less than three hours, to keep you going where you need to, as efficiently as possible.

What is a hybrid car?

A hybrid vehicle is powered by a combination of an electric motor from a high-voltage battery pack and a gasoline-run engine. When traveling, your car varies its use of both, which results in less gasoline burned. The battery is charged up through a regenerative braking system (during deceleration) along with the gas engine.

Do you have to charge a hybrid vehicle at a charging station?

Sometimes. In many cases, a hybrid's battery gets its juice through its regenerative braking system along with its gasoline-powered engine. The electric motor and the gas engine work together to keep the car's battery charged and you moving. This is true for the 2020 Fusion Hybrid. Other models, like the 2020 Escape Plug-in Hybrid, can be charged in just a few hours by plugging it into an outlet, which can extend your all-electric range.

Why buy a hybrid car?

Hybrid vehicles are fuel-efficient

Don't be fooled – these vehicles drive just like a regular gasoline car and they can accelerate quickly with the support of the electric motor. The best part is their fuel-efficiency, boasting nearly 45 miles per gallon, which means less trips to the pump and less spent on fuel.

Hybrid vehicles are easier on the environment

When driving a hybrid vehicle, the use of the battery-powered electric motor can reduce your carbon footprint, as you burn less fuel and release fewer emissions.

Hybrid vehicles can save you money

Aside from the money you can save at the pump by not filling your tank as frequently as a conventional vehicle, there are some federal and state tax breaks, rebates and incentives that drivers can benefit from.
