Trims
There are eight Ford Fusion trims that are
equally separated between gas-powered and hybrid styles. The fuel-powered
engine trims are the S, SE, SEL, and Titanium. The hybrid/electric versions are
the Hybrid SE, Hybrid SEL, Hybrid Titanium, and Plug-In Hybrid Titanium.
Engines
On fuel-powered trims, the engine is either a
1.5-liter or 2.0-liter EcoBoost with a six-speed transmission. The hybrid trims
have a 2.0L Atkinson-cycle Hybrid Engine and Electric Motor. Though horsepower
is lower, the fuel efficiency goes up when driving around Dubuque and
Manchester. For instance, the Hybrid SEL gets 41 mpg in the city and 41 on the
highway.
Infotainment
All Fusion trims come with Ford's SYNC 3
technology. This is a combination of touchscreen display, Bluetooth integration,
and, on higher trims, voice-activated commands. All models are enabled with
Sirius XM radio.
Safety and Driver Aids
Ford Co-Pilot360 is one of the most versatile
driver aid packages on the market, and it comes in all Fusion trims. Included
in the package are rain-sensing wipers, lane-keeping assist, reverse sensing
system for objects, and an SOS post-crash alert that signals first responders.
Higher-end trims also have adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go sensors for
fluctuating highway traffic. In addition to these tools, anti-lock brakes,
airbags, and traction control come as standard equipment in all Fusion trims.
