The Fusion Energi is all about innovative technologies, aimed at both new and existing hybrid owners, such as SmartGauge with EcoGuide, which provides customisable displays, including instantaneous fuel economy readings and coaching functions to help drivers understand and improve optimise their fuel efficiency.

Sync with MyFord Touch offers multiple ways - including voice commands - for drivers to manage phone, air-con, navigation and entertainment functions, with additional functions for monitoring information such as battery state of charge.

EV+ combines GPS with proprietary software algorithms developed by Ford engineers to learn frequent destinations and give drivers more drive time in electric-only mode.

Nevertheless, the bottom line is likely to be how close the Fusion Energi can get to that ambitious fuel-consumption figure in actual driving. As soon as we know, so will you.

Here's a great article on the tech features: http://www.myfusionenergi.com/fusion-energi-technology

I had no idea how much computer controlled driving is in the Energi - it's almost a little bit scary. What happens when the car decides it wants to kill you and steers towards a wall? This could be the start of the end, just like Terminator predicted!!
