This midsize sedan is close to a clone of the Ford Fusion Hybrid, and manages to avoid the shortcomings that make many other hybrid models, pretty poor. In fact, it is safe to say, Milan Hybrid offers a combination of respectable performance, excellent fuel economy, looks, spacious interior and a reasonable price that some of the other hybrids are not able to respond.

EPA expects to get 41 mpg city and 36 highway mpg for this transmission, which is significantly better than the numbers published by other competitors in the midsize sedan class Milan.

As with regular in Milan, the hybrid also has a spacious cabin, well finished loaded with luxury features reflective. Highlights of these are dual-zone automatic climate control, rear parking assistance system and an excellent Ford Sync multimedia voice control. The starter does not suffer from the space occupied by the battery, but there is still enough room for a good amount of luggage or equipment.

As for hybrids, we firmly believe twins Fusion / Milan Hybrid and Toyota Prius. The same goes for the Nissan Altima Hybrid, but not sold in 50 states. The jury is still out on the upcoming 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, but the rest of the hybrids on the market - including the Honda Insight and the Toyota Camry Hybrid - it's less fun to drive, not as a fuel, far from elegant or as a combination of these.
