Online discussions at Ford Fusion Energi Forum

Ford has announced the pricing details for the new 2013 Fusion Energi, which will hit dealerships in early 2013.
The 2013 Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid is projected to get 100-plus MPGe.
The 2013 Fusion Energi SE trim will be priced at $39,495 while the Fusion Energi Titanium will cost $40,995. No word on tax credits but expect it to be around $4,000.

Hey when you stop and consder that one of the reasons you are buying the Ford Fusion Energi is because it will save you tons of money at the pump (estimated 100 mpg from some things i have read) then the cost winds up being a lot more bearable for this reason. I am actually surprised you can get this car for under fifty grand.

I can't believe that too many Fusion Energi will be sold, considering the premium that Ford is exacting. Don't get me wrong: I really like the Fusion Energi, and would like to own one, but the claim is that it has the same drive train as the C-Max Energi, yet with C-Max, the differential between the pure hybrid and the Energi is about $7700. With the Fusion, the differential is about $12,700. That means that Ford is expecting consumers to pony up an extra $5000 to get the Energi version of the Fusion as compared to their other Energi model. That is kind of hard to swallow.

The car quality makes it worth expensive. But that is totally great. The selling price is still friendly and fair. How about in driving it? We can see Speed bump on the road and find it annoying. The truth is it has a shocking use that might be helping physician in diagnosing severe appendicitis.

My guess is that the reason the price difference is less between the C-Max Energi and the C-Max Hybrid is that the C-Max Energi is subsidized, and the Fusion Energi price-uplift actually represents the real cost of the extra battery capacity. But, just a guess...
