Ford Fusion: General Information

The Ford Fusion was Ford's North American midsize four-door sedan from the 2006 through 2020 model years. Two generations were offered with gasoline, conventional-hybrid, and plug-in-hybrid powertrains, while selected gasoline versions also offered all-wheel drive.

The second generation arrived for 2013 on Ford's CD4 platform as part of its global One Ford program and was closely related to the Mondeo. A 2017 facelift brought revised styling and the high-performance V6 Sport, while a second update for 2019 refreshed the exterior and made Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assistance technology standard.

Later gasoline Fusions used a naturally aspirated 2.5L four-cylinder, turbocharged 1.5L and 2.0L four-cylinders, or a 2.7L twin-turbo V6, spanning 175 to 325 hp. EPA ratings ranged from 17 mpg city for the V6 Sport to 34 mpg highway for the 1.5L EcoBoost, with front-wheel drive standard on most versions and all-wheel drive offered on selected higher-output models.
