Every adolescent who successfully manages the transition to adulthood is, at some point, faced with a version of the same choice: Is it better to be a polymath or a specialist? To have a liberal-arts education or a deep understanding of the mating habits of the Eastern tent caterpillar? If the Ford Fusion were a college student, it would graduate in eight years with two majors and three unfinished minors. It’s available with six engines; two can be equipped with all-wheel drive, two are hybrids, and one makes 325 horsepower. Then there are the five trim levels, covering the range from bare bones to near luxury. And of course, there are its segment-defining good looks. There’s none of the focused excellence that we enjoy from competitors such as the Honda Accord, the Chevrolet Volt, and... (more)
Story
With six available engines and 11 trim levels, it can be a dizzying task to configure a Fusion. We’d eliminate the hybrid variants, which sacrifice too much trunk space and performance, and skip over the Platinum and Sport models; their charms are outweighed by Audi-adjacent prices. An SE model with the optional 245-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is a happy middle ground betwee... (more)
Pros
Engine and transmission. Fuel economy. Performance and driving impressions. Interior. Infotainment. Cargo space and storage. Exterior. Safety and driver assistance. Warranty.
Cons
Hybrid models fail to inspire, can be very pricey, competitors are more refined.

2018 Ford Fusion - This car is a well rounded fun to drive sedan with a light feeling agile package and a potent 2.0t engine and 10 speed transmission that works well and produces strong acceleration.

Engine power from the 2.0 T is adequate and runs on regular gas, average MPG so far is around 31MPG. Nice ride from the suspension and soaks up the bumps nicely. Good electronics and driver assist functions. Very smooth shifting 10 speed transmission. Good sight lines around the car. Car has a very low driving position and getting in and out of the car is compromised. Because of the lowered stance of the car it feels to low compared to most other vehicles on the road and hinders forward views.
Story
After 3 months, I can still say I look forward to every drive. I'd leased 5 previous Accord EX-L V6 models. While I miss the sound of that fabulous engine, the 2.0 Turbo is absolutely outstanding. With the 10 speed, I've been getting 29 mpg in mixed driving, 35-37 on highway cruising. When pressed, it is at least as fast as my very fast previous Accords. The 10 speed seems excellent.
Pros
Turbo engines are both powerful and fuel-efficient.
Cons
Low seating position slightly hampers entry and exit.

Overall Score: 7.3/10

Safety Features: 8/10

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the 2018 Ford Fusion an overall five out of five stars in crash tests, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the Fusion a Top Safety Pick and a "Good" rating.

Depending on the trim level, available driver assistance technology features include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, parking sensors, automatic high beam control, and hands-free parking assist.


Value: 8/10

New car shoppers looking for a Ford Fusion for sale will find five trim levels for the 2018 Ford Fusion and two hybrid models. They are the Ford Fusion S, Fusion SE, Fusion Titanium, Ford Fusion Sport, and the Fusion Platinum. A gas-electric hybrid model is available on SE, Titanium, and Platinum models, while the plug-in hybrid is available as the Fusion Energi.

The Fusion S starts at $22,995 MSRP, and the Ford Fusion SE starts at $24,270 MSRP. The Ford Fusion Titanium and Fusion Sport start at around $31,000 MSRP and $34,500 MSRP, respectively, and the Ford Fusion Platinum starts at $37,600 MSRP.

While the Sport offers more power and all-wheel-drive that is uncommon in this class, it makes it an alternative to the more expensive Buick Regal Sportback and Kia Stinger. The Fusion Platinum is lavishly equipped, but it can be optioned close to $40,000, which is far more than a top-line Honda Accord or Kia Optima costs.


Tech Features: 6/10

The base Fusion S receives a small 4.2-inch display for the audio system, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, and keyless entry. SiriusXM satellite radio with a six-speaker audio system starts becoming available on the SE trim. Beginning with the Titanium trim, an 8-inch touchscreen with the Sync 3 infotainment system comes standard. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a 12-speaker audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and remote start are added. The Fusion Platinum gets a navigation system included standard.

But even the upgraded Sync 3 system is not a class leader in terms of technology. While an improvement over the old MyFord Touch infotainment system, its menus aren't as logically arranged as that on the Buick Regal Sportback and Chevrolet Malibu. Some of the console's physical buttons are also too similar in shape and size to use at a glance.


Practicality: 7/10

Passengers should have a generous amount of space inside the Fusion, in both the front and rear seats. Front seat passengers will find comfortable seating with good visibility. The digital display in the dash is easy to read, too. It's not as upright as the Subaru Legacy or Volkswagen Passat, but the sloping roofline doesn't make access too tricky.

With 16 cubic feet of cargo space, the Fusion is on par with some rivals and surpasses others with a fair amount of cargo capacity in the trunk. But the plug-in hybrid model loses a chunk of space because of the larger battery pack, significantly reducing practicality.


Styling & Design: 7/10

After an update for 2017, the 2018 Fusion is mostly unchanged -- and even the update only slightly changed the appearance of this midsize sedan that has been around since 2013. Still, the Fusion is one of the more distinctively designed midsize sedans on the market despite being around in this form for a few years.

The 2018 Fusion Sport trim is an attractive car with its gray painted aluminum alloy wheels and a unique grille. Exterior LED lighting and quad tipped dual exhaust makes the Sport stand out. The Platinum adds upgraded full leather upholstery, heated front seats, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel.

But some of the plastics inside the Fusion aren't as refined as those on the Accord or Kia Optima. It's more of a problem on the higher-end models where leather upholstery and other features can't elevate the ambiance. Base models also use cloth upholstery that doesn't feel particularly rich.


Driving Experience: 7/10

The Ford Fusion has a relaxed suspension that keeps the ride smooth. Steering and handling are crisp and responsive. The Fusion Sport offers a bit more than some rivals in the midsize sedan segment when it comes to performance capabilities.

The 2.5-liter four-cylinder standard in the Fusion S and SE trim levels offers a decent driving experience, but it's not as flexible as the turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder. And even then, it lacks the punch of the larger, turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. The turbocharged 2.7-liter V6, however, offers an unexpected level of power in this class. The Fusion has all-wheel-drive (AWD) available for better traction and versatility, while rivals like the Chevy Malibu and Toyota Camry lack this option.

Hybrid models have a reasonable amount of power and smooth operation between the gasoline engine and electric motor. But the continuously variable automatic transmission can sometimes let the engine roar under heavy acceleration, and both models take an acceleration hit compared to the gasoline-only cars.


Fuel Efficiency: 8/10

According to EPA estimates, the Fusion with the 2.5-liter engine is rated at 21/32/25 MPG city/hwy/combined. Models with the 1.5-liter turbo are rated at 23/34/27 mpg. The 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with FWD gets 21/32/25 MPG city/hwy/combined, while AWD drops those ratings to 20/29/23. Fuel economy for the 2.7-liter V6 is 17/26/20 MPG city/hwy/combined.

The Ford Fusion Hybrid gets 43/41/42 MPG city/highway/combined according to EPA estimates. And the plug-in Ford Fusion Energi gets 104/91/97 MPGe city/highway/combined.

Rivals like the Chevy Malibu, Kia Optima, and Nissan Altima will have better gas mileage, but the Fusion hybrid models offer good fuel efficiency.
