The C - Max Hybrid is a conventional parallel hybrid, with gasoline and electric power sources sharing
propulsion duties, and is targeted to deliver better fuel economy than the current Fusion Hybrid — which, at 41 mpg combined, is already the most fuel - efficient sedan sold in the U.S.. It's also said to operate in electric - only mode beyond 47 mph; and the vehicle's Powersplit controller is an evolution of what's currently used in the Fusion.
