The Most Economical Ford Models

Ford is the “go-to” brand with a wide range of vehicles. In addition to powerful trucks and high-performance sedans, the legendary car maker is also renowned as a designer of economical Ford models that save you money.

Fiesta: Mileage Champ

Ford no longer produces the Fiesta but people who’ve bought one, new or used, know how economical this car can be. With a mileage of up to 37 miles per gallon, the Ford Fiesta is your fuel budget’s best friend whether you travel long distances or spend most of your time running quick errands.

The Ford Fiesta combines a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed transmission (optional), which provides enough punch to get you in and out of traffic quickly and makes frequent trips to the fuel pump a thing of the past. The Ford Fiesta also packs some cool tech, including Ford’s Sync 3 System, driver-assistance help, and plenty of safety features.

The Escape: a Ford Fan Favorite

The Ford Escape is a dynamic SUV and a leader in fuel efficiency, not to mention one of the car maker’s most popular vehicles. A choice of engine types helps make it popular. You can choose from a 1.5-, 2.0-, and 2.5-liter four-cylinder. The 2.5-liter 37 mpg city/44 highway will put a smile on your face if you’re all about saving at the pump.

Ten styles include a PHEV model and an SE hybrid. Despite its efficiency, the Ford Escape is also satisfyingly powerful, the turbo three hitting 60 mph in just over seven seconds. The gas engine models come with eight-speed transmissions, while the plug-in’s powertrain features two electric motors that pair with a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine to generate more than 220 horsepower.

Ford Fusion is another strong seller, a sedan that can deliver up to 245 horsepower with 1.5- and 2.0-liter turbo engines. The base trim’s engine can get 34 miles per gallon on the highway, a nice combination of power and efficiency. Its punch and agile handling make the Fusion a favorite among drivers looking for an affordable yet fun ride.

The SYNC 3 infotainment package is available, and the Co-Pilot 360 system comes standard. There’s also a nice powertrain selection with a menu of turbo options. And at 34 mpg highway, the Ford Fusion is no slouch when it comes to fuel economy.

Ask someone at your area Ford dealership about a Ford that offers amazing mileage/efficiency at a friendly price, and chances are they’ll steer you toward a Ford EcoSport, a mini SUV that delivers nearly 30 mph on the highway. The Ford EcoSport sports a turbocharged engine combined with a six-speed automatic transmission and delivers surprising horsepower.

You can get the SE version with navigation and four-wheel drive, not to mention more than 36 inches of legroom that can accommodate up to five adult passengers. In addition to efficiency, the Ford EcoSport comes with a healthy array of safety features.
