Although the EPA doesn't provide a rating for vehicles
in this category, past
experience suggests GM
gasoline engines deliver competitive fuel economy.
The most important part was: The electric motor also offers a boost function, supporting the
gasoline engine in generating particularly dynamic drive power for an even MORE sporting driving
experience in the car.
As for the driver's
experience: With the larger of the two
gasoline turbocharged four - cylinder
engines (256 hp) mated to a nine - speed automatic, it accelerated to 60 mph
in about 7 seconds
in my tests.
Electric and plug -
in hybrid vehicles offer a unique driving
experience — torque arrives at the wheels immediately after you step on the accelerator, skipping the usual beat of waiting for the
gasoline to pass into the
engine, ignite, and transfer energy through the drivetrain to the wheels.
At the same time the electric motor offers a boost function, supporting the
gasoline engine in generating particularly dynamic drive power for an even more sporting driving
experience in the car.
The Ford Hybrid team has developed a powertrain system that combines the best attributes of the
gasoline engine and electric battery - driven motors to deliver the optimal
experience for the customer
in terms of driving performance and fuel economy.
