Detroit: This is the 2013 Ford Fusion

Filed under: Detroit Auto Show , Sedan , Ford We’ve still got a few days between us and the reveal of the 2013 Ford Fusion , but a minor bug in its iPad teaser app has given us an early glimpse of the all-new sedan.

A report from Ford Inside News suggests that the Fusion Hybrid’s revised powertrain, which will most likely feature Ford’s fuel-saving e-CVT trans , will bump the vehicle’s fuel economy rating all the way up to 47 or 48 miles per gallon city. If true, that would be a healthy increase over the 2011 Fusion Hybrid’s 41 mpg city rating, which is already class leading. Since the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid will make use of the same hardware, this means that the gas-electric MKZ is almost sure to have an identical mpg rating
