I am deciding between 2017 fusion hybrid platinum, 2017 Accord Hybrid, 2016 Sonata Hybrid and 2017 Malibu hybrid (camry hybrid seems out dated) I want a fully loaded car especially Adaptive cruise, Lane keep assist and BLS. The fusion seems to checking off all the boxes and more.
Will appreciate any lease deals on the fusion platinum hybrid.
The Fusion Platinum will probably be the most expensive since it’s several thousand dollars more than the other three. Also, you probably get a 2017 model, and not sure how many deals there will be on it yet.
The Fusion and Malibu are a bit sportier looking than the Accord and Sonata, which have more of a luxury look. Having looked at and driven all four of these recently, I would choose the Fusion over the Malibu (although the Fusion will cost a lot more). The Fusion impressed me with its technology and styling. The Malibu exterior styling is nice, but the interior doesn’t match up to the other three cars. Just my opinion
I’d take the Honda over the Hyundai, as I like its technology better (2 video screens, side view camera, etc.). The Sonata offers the panoramic sunroof, which none of the other cars have.
Exactly the dilemma I am in. Fusion platinum seems to check all the boxes but I read in a review that the Lane keep assist is not like honda/toyota which can really follow a road. It is very gentle. I think I will get the best deal on sonata if I can live without LKAS. It only has warning. But the roof is beautiful.
I just bought (not leased) a Sonata Hybrid Limited without the ultimate package. Paid about $24,500 before TTT. The features you want require the ultimate package, which will add $4500 MSRP and maybe $3800-4000 selling price. There are very good deals because they are not so popular right now. So far, I have been pleased, get 43-46 MPG very consistently in mostly highway driving. It is comfortable, roomy and pretty boring; but for the driving I do (and I do a lot, which is why I didn’t lease) it is great. The Camry/Honda will cost a bit more, may lease better. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them; if you have a short commute, might consider a plugin model as they can get great tax incentives depending on your state. Good luck,
