Whether you’re looking for a new or used vehicle, consider some of the Ford models that have the highest fuel efficiency ratings. Ford continues to hold fuel economy to a high standard, so you can travel anywhere knowing you’ll save on gas. Here are four Ford models that have the best MPG ratings.
Fiesta
Even though Ford retired the Fiesta, it still boasts one of Ford’s highest fuel mileages. The Fiesta packs a 1.6-liter inline-four-cylinder engine and an optional six-speed automatic transmission, giving you up to 37 miles per gallon when driving on the open highway. Drive locally through the city and you’ll get up to 27 miles per gallon.
The Fiesta doesn’t just pack an efficient engine, though. It also comes equipped with Ford’s signature interior, tech, and safety features, like comfortable seating, the Ford Sync 3 System, and advanced safety technology, including Ford’s driver-assist systems.
Fusion
Ford gives the Fusion three distinct engine configurations to choose from. On the Fusion’s base trim, you’ll get a 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine, which can generate about 175 horsepower. This engine configuration can get up to 34 miles per gallon on the highway, making this vehicle another great option if you’re looking for fuel efficiency.
The other engine configurations the Fusion comes with include a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder for 181 horsepower and a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four-cylinder, which is capable of 245 horsepower. These two engine upgrades don’t offer the same fuel efficiency as the base engine, but you’ll still get a decent rating right around 30 miles per gallon on the highway.
Focus
The Ford Focus is another retired model, however, it still offers one of Ford’s most efficient gas mileage. Two engines came with this model: a 2.3-liter inline-four-cylinder engine and a 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine. Both pair with a six-speed manual transmission, but the automatic option means a little bit higher fuel efficiency.
The 1.0-liter will give you up to 40 miles per gallon on the highway and at least 30 miles per gallon in the city, and you’ll really start to notice the impressive fuel economy on the Focus when you see that you can drive 100 miles on just under three gallons of gas.
Escape
The Ford Escape comes with three different engine configurations: a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, a 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine, and a 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine. The most efficient of the three configurations is the 2.5-liter inline-four cylinder, which boasts a fuel economy rating of 37 miles per gallon in the city, 44 miles per gallon on the highway, and a combined rating of 41 miles per gallon.
The 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine gives you 33 miles per gallon on the highway, 27 in the city, and a combined rating of 30 miles per gallon. The 2.0-liter engine gets 31 miles per gallon on the highway, 23 in the city, and a combined rating of 26 miles per gallon.
For efficiency and fewer costs in fuel, these four models have what it takes. When you drive home in one of these pre-owned or new models, get ready to be impressed with the best fuel economy Ford has to offer.
