Two Green Cars From Ford And Buick
The rising cost of fuel is a grave matter. The high costs raises issues about the environment, our nation’s dependency on foreign oil and of course the economic repercussions. Many families are affected financially once the price per gallon is higher than $4. We’ll explore two vehicles that are good looking while offering great mpg numbers.
The Ford Fusion Hybrid is a good looking car with a prominent front grille and smooth sleek lines. Mileage is impressive at 41 mpg on the interstate and 36 mpg in the city. The Fusion hybrid utilizes the SmartGauge system which actually trains you to become a more efficient driver. There is a graphic display that corresponds to how well you are doing. Another cool feature is Ford’s Sync system which allows you to change your music and stereo settings, place phone calls and utilize the navigation system by using your voice.
The vehicle uses both an electric and a regular motor. The traditional engine consists of a 2.5 Liter V4 engine and the electric motor is powered by a 275 volt battery. Horsepower is pretty decent at 194 HP and this auto takes only nine seconds to go from zero to sixty. As you would expect from Ford, the interior is well designed and practical with plenty of space. Some consumers may find the cargo space a bit lacking; it stands at 11.8 cubic feet. St Charles Ford offers great deals on Ford cars in St Louis and Festus MO.
The next auto might surprise some folks but it’s the Buick LaCrosse with eAssist. Mileage is around 37 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg in the city. Buick has is not presenting the Lacrosse with eAssist as a hybrid, just think of it more like a “mild” hybrid. It’s more like a “mild hybrid”; almost there but not quite. Power is sent to the engine to recharge it when the driver brakes. Most hybrids are compact and small but the LaCrosse offers tons of room. Another cool feature is the ambient blue lighting which is truly gorgeos in the dark. The rich leather seats are comfortable and easy to sink into plus they are adjustable.
