Best Ford Models for Commuters
1. The Ford Fusion 
The Fusion only ceased production a few years ago, in 2020, so you can find numerous gently used and highly modern Fusion cars on the market today.
The Fusion is still one of the most spacious midsized cars on the market, making it an excellent option for commuters who value comfort and might want to take friends or family along after work. The more recent editions also come equipped with the latest safety technology seen on today’s Ford models and the Ford SYNC infotainment system.
2. The Ford Focus
Ford’s Focus Line was one of the top-ranked sedans in the 2010s, and many critics still cite it as one of the best compact family cars on the market. An excellent option for your local commute!
It is a versatile car and incredibly fuel efficient in many of its trims, available in both sedan and hatchback form and with hybrid and fully electric options. It’s also an incredibly affordable option, with even the more recent models priced very affordably compared to competitors.
3. The Ford Escape
If you’re looking for a commuter car that combines the best of being fuel-efficient, safe, and comfortable, the Escape has you covered all around. With the size and trunk space of a crossover SUV mixed with the fuel efficiency of a commuter car, the Escape can carry just about anything yet still clocks 30 combined mpg.
The latest editions of the Escape feature the latest Ford technology for comfort and safety, including a 360-degree camera, B&O surround sound system, and a digital instrument panel.
4. The Ford EcoSport
Another Ford built for commuters yet featuring the space and comfort of a crossover, the EcoSport ranks as one of the safest and best tech-equipped commuter cars on the market and delivers an incredibly efficient 28 combined mpg.
With several features like Safety Canopy and Intelligent 4WD, typically only found on more pricey trucks and SUVs, you can sit back and relax for your drive in an EcoSport.
5. The Ford Transit Connect
If you don’t usually drive alone, nothing in the market competes with Ford’s Transit Connect Passenger Wagon when it comes to providing comfort and space. The 7-seater van offers everyone plenty of space and all the comforts of a modern Ford.
With sliding doors and a low chassis height compared to SUVs, getting in and out is a breeze. And you can keep all your passengers entertained with Ford’s new SYNC-3 system, available on all newer models.
