For those who are eco-minded, the Ford Fusion offers you the choice of hybrid or plug-in hybrid models. The Toyota Camry also has a hybrid version.
Overall, there are some significant differences between these two sedans. The Ford Fusion offers you more horsepower, the option of all-wheel drive and a plug-in hybrid model. The Toyota Camry has many advanced driver assistance technologies as standard equipment. Another thing to consider is that the Fusion is still on the same platform it has been on since the 2013 model year. The Camry is on a brand-new platform as of the 2018 model year. This makes the Camry a much more up-to-date car. Take a look at both and see what you think.
