Groove Ford

Fusion gas-powered and hybrid models deliver plenty of performance. Impressive fuel economy, too.* So you can enjoy a car that is responsive to the driving enthusiast within you ? and all the while be assured that you're doing right by the environment. Groove Ford, Denver Ford dealer, can assist you in equipping your Ford Fusion just the way you want it.

Available voice-activated SYNC®27 is a fine example of a single technological feature that has multiple capabilities. And many of them are available to you through voice commands. Tell it to call a friend, provide turn-by-turn directions* or play your favorite artist ? and that's just the beginning of what SYNC can do.

Ford's Sync multimedia control system, which comes standard on all but the 2012 Fusion's base S model, adds an AppLink feature that affords added connectivity with smartphones. For example, motorists can play music from the web-based Pandora Internet radio service and connect to the Twitter website to have Sync read aloud "tweets" (short text messages) via a synthesized voice.

Sync also incorporates a hard-drive for 150 hours of music storage, a USB adapter for connecting iPods and other digital devices, a Bluetooth interface for streaming calls and music from a cell phone, and real-time traffic and weather information. Various Sync functions can be voice-activated or controlled from steering-wheel-mounted controls or a dashboard touch screen. This allows a driver to keep both hands on the wheel while, for example, entering a navigation destination, changing the radio station, or calling up a song stored onboard or on an iPod.

Another available feature, called BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert, lets you know when a vehicle is in your blind spot or is approaching when you're backing out of a parking space. Making life on the road easier - that's the goal of innovative Ford technology.

Fuel prices might go sky-high. But the desire for that rush of adrenaline when you hit the gas pedal will never go down. That's why Ford Fusion offers high fuel economy and responsive performance, both without compromise. The 2.5L I-4 engine models generate 175 horsepower while delivering impressive fuel economy.* And the Fusion Hybrid with 191 net horsepower can go more than 700 miles on a single tank of gas.**

The 2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid has a 2.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine that works in tandem with an electric motor/generator and a self-charging battery pack. The system drives the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that eschews gears for a belt and pulley system to deliver seamless acceleration without traditional shifting. The Fusion Hybrid automatically runs on gas or electric power or in combination as necessary. Battery-charge permitting, the electric motor powers the car at around-town speeds and a feather-footed driver can take the Fusion Hybrid to 47 mph before the gas engine kicks in. This is not a plug-in hybrid; the Fusion Hybrid's batteries are recharged from captured braking energy or surplus engine power.

You can tell at first glance what a driver's car is all about before you ever get behind the wheel. Its exterior styling is dynamic and fluid, in motion even when standing perfectly still. And when you look inside, its upscale design breathes quality craftsmanship throughout. Of course, underneath it all are the components of a precisely engineered driver's car.
