Kendra Clayton of Ford talks us through the highlights of the all-new 2013 Ford Fusion, including its five powertrain options and safety features, at the 2013 Denver Auto Show in Colorado.

Ford hit the 2013 Denver Auto Show in a big way, showcasing a lot of great vehicles and prototypes for the 2014 model year. The showcase of Ford’s floor space, though, is the all-new 2013 Fusion. We caught up with the lively Kendra Clayton, the Denver Region Zone Manager for Ford, who gave us the run down on the host of options the Fusion has.

The 2013 Ford Fusion is the flagship for the company’s lineup of cars. With seven models and five powertrain options, it’s beautiful new styling is eclipsed only by its wide range of choice. On the show floor, visitors will see a Fusion EcoBoost, Hybrid, and Energi. These three are the fuel efficiency options ranging from the high-efficiency gasoline EcoBoost models to the class-leading Hybrid (47 mpg across the board) to the plug-in hybrid Energi (over 100 MPGe, learn about it hands-on here). The sporty 2.5-liter Duratec is also a popular power plant in the Fusion, for those who prefer more get-up in their go. All are mated to a 6-speed transmission (automatic or manual) or an optional electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT, standard on Hybrid and Energi models).
