Ford Fusion 0-60 times

For the best part of a decade, the new Ford Fusion generation has existed since its appearance in 2013. And the 2020 Fusion may be the last model this year. Ford confirmed it would only manufacture in the future trucks and SUVs, meaning passenger cars like the Fusion would be on the verge of extinction. Fortunately, though, it doesn't mean that the Fusion 2020 is a valueless lame-duck sedan.

Instead, the Fusion is an attractive, four-door with many new technologies and security considering its age and its coming decrease. For 2020, Fusion drops one of their engine choices, the turbo-loaded V6 Sport, but it's worth the leaving 1.5-liter motor, and 2.0-liter turbo-loading picks. The Fusion is still also accessible with an all-wheel drive and is standard with protection measures such as blind-spot detection, assist of lane-keeping, and prevention of forward collision.

On the way, the Fusion wins points for its silent and spacious cabin, its comfort and handling balance, and its wide trunk. But your time would be worth trying out a couple of competing sedans. For example, the Honda Agreement and the Mazda 6 are more elegant and fun to drive, while the Hyundai Sonata and the Kia Optima provide a little more value. Overall, the Ford Fusion is the right choice for a midsize sedan, long in the tooth as it may be.

The Fusion isn't as vivid as before, but still a good vehicle. The 1.5L Fusion went 0-60 mph in 8.9 seconds for the Edmunds output test, marginally slower than average. However, the brake pedal encourages confidence. It is simple in managing in traffic and allows shorter-than-average emergency stopping distances.

The Fusion feels firm as you ride it around the turns. The suspension decreases body roll, and it is not a trouble when driving over a bump middle corner. There's no drama on curvy mountain roads. The steering wheel of the Fusion has a good weight and willingly comes back to the center. While low-speed parking is the wind, there is virtually no sense of connection with the road through steering during spirited driving.

The Ford Fusion, a midsize sedan for five-passenger seating, is offered in four trim editions: S, SE, SEL, and Titanium.

The standard equipment for the base Fusion S includes the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (173 horsepower, 174 lb-ft of torque), front-wheel drive, and an automatic transmission with six speeds. Among other options, there 60/40-split folding rear seats, audio and phone voice commands (Sync), Bluetooth, a sound system with four speakers, a 4.2-inch center monitor, and a USB port. A set of driver protection aids (named Co-Pilot360) is regular, with blind-spot monitoring, warning of rear cross-traffic, forward collision mitigation, and lane-keeping assist.

The Ford's Co-Pilot360 Assist system is the single option accessible for the Fusion S. It offers automatic climate control with two zones, an advanced 8-inch center touchscreen, navigation system, Ford's Sync 3 voice controls, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, adaptive cruise control, and an extra USB port.

The Fusion SE trim has all the S's regular features, including a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine (181 hp, 185 lb-ft), power-adjustable front seats, a rear center fold-down armrest, and a sound system with six speakers and satellite radio. For this model, the above mentioned 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, the two USB ports, and navigation come as regular.

To the SE, you can also add Co-Pilot360 Assist. The SE All-Wheel-Drive kit offers an all-wheel drive, which automatically includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine (240 hp, 270 lb-ft), front seats, and side mirrors with heating.

The Fusion SEL is based on the SE's standard features, plus LED headlights, ignition and entry without a key, memory setting of the driver seat, front seats with heating, and an 11-speaker exclusive sound system. To the SEL, you can also add the Co-Pilot360 Assist kit.

The Fusion Titanium comes with all of the SEL's common elements, including the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, a sunroof, ambient interior lighting, sport front seats with heating and ventilation, Co-Pilot360 Assist, and an exclusive Sony sound system with twelve speakers.

We suggest the Fusion in its SE model, the middle trim of the lineup. The SE comes with an updated 8-inch touchscreen, Android and Apple CarPlay connectivity, and a stereo with six speakers. The SE also provides many alternative options that include extra protection measures such as forward collision mitigation and blind-spot monitoring, and functional choices such as all-wheel drive.
