Lots of Performance Options

With four engines to choose from, the Ford Fusion offers up a powertrain to suit every driver. Let’s delve into the specs and see what we find:

• 2.5-liter i-VCT 4-cylinder: 175 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque
• 1.5-liter EcoBoost® 4-cylinder: 181 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque
• 2.0-liter EcoBoost® 4-cylinder: 245 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque
• 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6: 325 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque

Each engine has its strength. The i-VCT engine is solid when it comes to daily driving and cruising around town, while the 1.5-liter EcoBoost® offers the best fuel economy of the four: an EPA-estimated 23 city/34 highway MPG. Its Auto Start-Stop feature contributes to this excellent efficiency.

If you’re all about speed, the larger EcoBoost® engines are sure to satisfy, especially the V6. You’ll get up to speed quickly from a stop, and highway merging and passing will be easier than ever.

Outstanding Design Inside & Out

Design has always been a strong point in Ford cars, but the Ford Fusion takes it to a whole new level. The exterior sports three new color options this year: Agate Black, Rich Copper Metallic, and Velocity Blue. You’ll have presence on the roads and even more so with the chrome mesh on the Fusion Titanium grille.  

Slide into the cabin, and this car’s sense of style will hitch a ride with you home. The available heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel adds comfort and sophistication, and new interior colors like Light Putty and Russet add some warmth and contrast to the cabin.

Safety Comes Standard

Do you wish you had an extra pair of eyes on the road? Now you can. The Ford Fusion adds the all-new Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite of driver-assist features, helping you respond to unexpected situations on the road. Those features include:

• Auto high-beam headlamps
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert
• Lane-Keeping System
• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

Backing up those features is a car designed and engineered for safety. The Fusion earned an NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, showing its mettle and passing a battery of rigorous crash tests with flying colors.
