Autobytel has Named Ford's Fusion and C-Max Hybrid as 2013 Vehicles of the Year

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan. 9, 2013 - It is with great pride that the sales team at Arlington Heights Ford (http://www.ahford.com/section/secondary/about-us/Arlington-Heights-IL-Ford-Dealer) stands beside the automaker in announcing that two more Ford vehicles have earned accolades for 2013. Automotive adviser Autobytel has just announced the winners of their yearly awards, and the 2013 Fusion and 2013 C-Max Hybrid have earned their recognition.

Not only was the 2013 Ford Fusion (http://www.ahford.com/custom/2013-ford-fusion) named the “sedan of the year,” but the editors at Autobytel almost unanimously chose it as their “car of the year” as well. The mid-size sedan market is notoriously one of the most competitive, year after year, and being able to take home both top sedan and top overall car shows both the versatility and the success of this new Ford.

With the rise of gasoline prices, alternative fuel vehicles such as the C-Max Hybrid have been gaining traction, and Autobytel saw fit to recognize this particular segment of the market as well. The C-Max Hybrid stole the show on its very first year, thanks in part to its EPA-estimated 47 mpg fuel economy.

The judges also recognized the impressive level of interior space, 52.6 cubic feet, as well as its significant cargo volume, making it a choice for families seeking a hybrid.

Drivers unable to choose between these two Ford models, however, have a middle ground in the Ford Fusion Hybrid, which offers drivers the award-winning Fusion with a fuel-friendly hybrid powertrain.

For more information about these vehicles, their accolades, or to schedule one for a test drive, readers have been encouraged to contact the sales team at Arlington Heights Ford. Their dealership can be reached online (http://www.ahford.com/page/ContactUsForm3/master/secondar...) or by phone at (847)-481-0427.
Not only are both of these vehicles currently available for purchase or lease, but Arlington Heights Ford also features the entire lineup of new Ford automobiles and a diverse selection of pre-owned models. Their dealership is open six days a week, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday-Friday and from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on Saturday, and can be found at 801 West Dundee Road in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
