Ford Fusion 0-60 times

The four-wheelers offer the passengers comfort while traveling from one place to another. The vehicle manufacturing companies come up with new designs every year to meet the demands of the customers and to suit the road condition. Ford Fusion is one such popular model that has got a substantial revision in the year 2017. Unlike the Honda and Toyota, the midsize sedan leaders who stick to the five-year model cycle, Nissan offers six-year cycle.

The fifth revision of the Fusion will last for another year as it expects to get software and soft-tooled part spiff-up in 2019. The move is watched closely to determine if it is a wise one in the face of declining car sales and introduction of new models of Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Nissan AltimaHistorical Progress and CompetitorsThe Fusion Sport offers its users a 325HP engine with abundant torque and is exceptionally quick with its all-wheel-drive system.

The users can reach the speed of 60mph in less time (approximately 8.9 seconds). The all-wheel-drive offered by the Fors Sport launches the car quickly, but it does not react quickly to steering tug during acceleration (flashes of torque steer) or sudden acceleration.

It comes with the selectable sports mode that alters the transmission tuning. It can also automatically rev-matches downshifts. The glaring issue with the Ford Sport is a long time takes to select a gear, but it has a standard paddle shifter. Though, in other models, some shift hesitation is noted.

The specification of the Fusion are;

• 175HP Base Engine (2.5liters Two Turbo 4s
• 245HP 2.0 liters and 181HP 1.5 liters
• Six-speed Automatic Transmission
• Front-wheel drive (optional all-wheel drive)
• Stiffened Suspension
• Two Hybrids with combined 42 mpg rating (one plug-in)
• Twin-Turbo V-6 (325HP 2.7liter)
• Small Audio ScreenTouch Screen (8.0 inch)

The Fusion Sport promises its users athletic handling with some muscles with the above specifications.

The interior and exterior can vary according to the user requirement into Spartan or luxurious. So, the users can opt for cloth seats or quilted leather seats depending on their choice. The base model has a raw deal compared to the hybrid one as the platinum model can cause envy. But, the Fusion has attractive interior trims that ooze class and sophistication.

The Fusion, when debuted in 2012, was strikingly handsome compared to its peers as the artfully creased sheet metal and its grille resembling the Aston Martin gave it a sophisticated look. Although the automotive industry now releases attractive models, the Fusion still holds the appeal as the attractive option. The mid-size model strikes a right balance between the maneuverability and size.

The Fusion now ranks the fourth position in the midsize sedan segment, so it needs time to see if the changes can help it maintain its place in the market. The Ford corporation predicts that in another to years the majority of sales (86%) will focus on the SUVs and Trucks. Based on the statistics available, the popular models like Focus, Continental, Fusion, and Mustang have recorded 18% of the sales. Therefore, it has more chances of surviving the competition in the automotive industry. But, it also has further room for slippage with the tough rivalry posed by the other brands.
