Safety
My test car came with the Driver’s Vision Package that includes a backup camera and a blind spot warning system. I really liked the blind spot warning system, which illuminates an orange LED light in the corresponding side mirror whenever a car is in your blind spot.
Rear parking sensors are standard on the Fusion Hybrid. The sensors detect objects behind the car and sound a warning to alert you. However, I found it to be too sensitive and tuned it out; I chose to back up slowly and look around carefully. This worked well because visibility out of the Fusion Hybrid is exceptional. The windows are large, and I could see all around me quite easily. The Fusion Hybrid also has a backup camera. Its image is displayed in the rearview mirror when the car is in Reverse. This was great most of the time, but I sometimes had trouble seeing the image in the mirror.
My kids had no problems using the seat belts. The Latch anchors are a little recessed but easy to find and use. If you’re considering a Fusion Hybrid and have young children, you’ll want to test the fit of your child-safety seats before you buy. A rear-facing seat could be a tight fit, especially if the front passenger or driver needs a lot of legroom.
The Fusion Hybrid’s standard safety features include all-disc antilock brakes, side-impact airbags, side curtain airbags, a driver’s knee airbag, traction control and an electronic stability system.
FAMILY LIFESTAGE
In Diapers: A rear-facing child-safety seat could be a tight squeeze, and check to make sure the trunk can hold any large strollers you have.
In School: It’s a breeze for kids to get in and out of the car on their own.
Teens: The electronic stability system will help teen drivers stay safe on the road.
