Under the hood, it features a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle I-4 engine paired with an electric motor, generating a combined 188 horsepower. This powertrain is coupled to an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT), ensuring smooth and efficient power delivery. The vehicle can run purely on electric power for an EPA-estimated range of 21 miles, after which it switches to hybrid mode for a total range of approximately 620 miles.

With a lithium-ion battery pack that can be fully charged in 2.5 hours using a 240-volt outlet, the Fusion Energi offers flexibility for both short commutes and longer journeys. The regenerative braking system captures energy during braking to recharge the battery, enhancing overall efficiency. The interior is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including the SYNC with MyFord Touch infotainment system, which integrates navigation, entertainment, and climate control through an intuitive touchscreen interface.

Safety features are comprehensive, with standard equipment such as a rearview camera, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, and multiple airbags. Optional driver-assist technologies include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and parking assist. The exterior design is aerodynamic, contributing to its fuel efficiency and giving it a modern, stylish appearance. The Ford Fusion Energi 2013 offers a balanced blend of performance, technology, and eco-friendliness, making it a compelling choice for environmentally conscious drivers.

The recommended maintenance schedule includes regular oil changes every 10,000 miles or 12 months, tire rotations every 7,500 miles, brake inspections every 10,000 miles, and coolant checks every 20,000 miles. For detailed schedules, refer to the owner's manual.

How do I reset the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on a 2013 Ford Fusion Energi?

To reset the TPMS, first ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended PSI. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS indicator light blinks three times, then release it. Start the vehicle and wait for 20 minutes.

What type of oil is recommended for the Ford Fusion Energi 2013?

Ford recommends using SAE 5W-20 full synthetic motor oil for optimal performance and fuel efficiency in the 2013 Fusion Energi. Always check the owner's manual for the latest specifications.

How can I improve the battery life of my Ford Fusion Energi 2013?

To improve battery life, avoid frequent full discharges by charging the battery regularly, use the vehicle's energy-saving modes, and park in shaded areas to avoid overheating. Regular maintenance checks can also help ensure the battery's longevity.

What should I do if my Ford Fusion Energi 2013 won't start?

If the vehicle won't start, check the battery charge and connections. Ensure the key fob battery is functional and try starting the car in neutral. If issues persist, consult a Ford technician for further diagnostics.

How do I change the cabin air filter in a 2013 Ford Fusion Energi?

To change the cabin air filter, open the glove compartment and remove the limiting stop arm. Push the sides of the glove box inward to release it. Locate the cabin air filter cover, remove it, and replace the old filter with a new one. Reassemble in reverse order.

What is the proper way to jump-start a 2013 Ford Fusion Energi?

To jump-start, connect the positive jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery, then to the positive terminal of the donor battery. Connect the negative cable to the donor battery's negative terminal and the other end to an unpainted metal surface on the Fusion. Start the donor vehicle, then the Fusion.

How do I check the coolant level in my Ford Fusion Energi 2013?

Ensure the engine is cool, then locate the coolant reservoir. The reservoir has minimum and maximum level indicators. If the coolant is below the minimum, add a 50/50 mixture of coolant and distilled water until it reaches the maximum level.
