Our vision for Fusion was clear deliver the very best of what One Ford stands for said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president of Global Product Development We brought our global teams together around a blank slate with the charge to develop a midsize car with groundbreaking design and jaw dropping fuel economy one that featured technologies to help make our customers safer and better drivers This car is the result
Ford Fusion is revealed in North America in S, SE and range-topping Titanium series and points to the next Ford Mondeo for world markets
Triple crown fuel efficiency
The new Fusion is expected to deliver best-in-class fuel economy across customers choice of gasoline hybrid and plug-in hybrid sub-segments, following through with the commitment by Ford to be the fuel-efficiency leader or among the leaders with each new model brought to market
Ford Fusion brings the broadest selection of fuel-efficient powertrains in the midsize car segment It offers hybrid and plug-in hybrid alternatives, a pair of EcoBoost™ four cylinder engines a normally aspirated four-cylinder engine, an automatic start stop system to shut off the engine at stationary idle front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive applications and a choice between automatic and manually shifted six-speed transmissions.
The 1.6-liter EcoBoost is expected to deliver best in class four-cylinder non-hybrid fuel efficiency of 26 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway The 2.0 liter EcoBoost engine paired with a paddle shifted six-speed SelectShift Automatic™ transmission, available 19-inch wheels and tires, and all-wheel drive with the ability to send additional torque to the rear is the Fusion performance option
The Fusion Hybrid 2010 North American Car of the Year continues to innovate and evolve with all new lithium-ion batteries that save weight and generate more power than previous nickel-metal hydride batteries, while raising maximum speed under electric-only power from 47 mph to 62 mph
Ford Fusion Hybrid also features an all new 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine, significantly downsized from the previous 2.5-liter unit while maintaining performance standards This innovative powertrain is anticipated to deliver best in class fuel economy of 47 mpg in city driving and 44 mpg on the highway.
Ford Fusion Hybrid fuel economy stands to outperform the 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid by 4 mpg city and 5 mpg highway and the 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid by 12 mpg and 4 mpg respectively
Topping the fuel-efficiency ladder is the Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid aiming to be the most fuel-efficient midsize car in the world. Arriving this fall Fusion Energi is anticipated to deliver more than 100 MPGe a mile per gallon equivalency metric for electrified vehicles This is 8 MPGe more than the Chevrolet Volt and 13 MPGe more than the projected efficiency of the Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid model
The next generation Fusion 1.6-liter is the first automatic transmission Ford product offered with an automatic start stop system It shuts off engine power smoothly when the car is stopped and seamlessly restarts as the driver releases the brake pedal helping Fusion to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by approximately 3.5 percent
Ford Fusion looks out for you
The all-new Fusion offers an unprecedented portfolio of driver assistance and convenience technologies based on sensors cameras and radar that enable the car to see and respond.
Ford Fusion can help drivers maintain proper lane position, adjust vehicle speed to changing traffic conditions identify suitable parking spaces and help park even aiding drivers backing out of parking space where visibility is obstructed Specific technologies include
Lane Keeping System This class-exclusive technology consists of three elements to help a driver maintain proper lane position. Using a small forward-facing camera behind the inside rearview mirror the system looks down the road monitoring lane lines to determine that the car is on course The system will alert a driver if drowsiness or erratic lane-keeping is detected The second element warns a driver with a steering wheel vibration if the Fusion drifts too close to lane markings Finally lane keeping aid will actually apply pressure on the steering to help bring the car back into proper lane position
Adaptive cruise control Using forward-looking radar, this system looks down the road when activated slowing the Fusion when slower traffic is detected ahead Adaptive cruise control enables collision warning with brake support to help slow the car if the potential of a crash is detected
Active park assist: Employing sensors, this technology can identify a suitable parallel parking space calculate the trajectory and steer the car to properly position it within the spot. All a driver need do is operate accelerator and brake pedals
Blind Spot Information System BLIS® with cross-traffic alert: Sensors in both Fusion rear quarter panels are able to detect traffic in a driver's blind spot providing both audible and visual warnings if traffic unseen by the driver is detected BLIS technology enables cross traffic alert warning the driver of oncoming traffic when backing out of a parking space with obstructed views such as between two large vans
The power of voice
The all new Fusion offers the latest iteration of Ford's award winning industry exclusive SYNC® communications and entertainment system which enables voice-activated communication through a driver's mobile phone and interaction with the car's audio system.
Fusion also offers the latest version of MyFord Touch®, allowing a driver to interact with vehicle systems through voice control, a touch screen tap or a conventional button
Both SYNC and MyFord Touch powered by SYNC help reduce the potential for driver distraction through voice-controlled functionality allowing drivers to keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road
Different by design
The previous Fusion was an easy purchase for a customer to rationalize said Chris Hamilton chief exterior designer for the next-generation model Our design goal for the new car was to give the mainstream sedan buyer a top-drawer visual experience adding some emotional appeal to an already sensible choice
These five elements provided direction for the design team behind the all-new Ford Fusion:
Silhouette innovation Fusion's sleek profile sets it apart from the powertrain cabin/trunk three-box designs synonymous with midsize sedans
Perceived efficiency Fusion character lines sweeping to the rear and thin roof pillars suggest the car is nimble and light on its feet
Refined surface language Fusion demonstrates that a tasteful, well-executed design does not require add-ons or visual clutter
Technical graphics Fusion's functional design elements such as headlamps LED taillamps and polished exhaust tips communicate enhanced technological capability
New face Fusion signals the next evolution in Ford global design language for midsize cars and smaller
Inside the new Fusion offers a sporty, driver-oriented environment with next-generation seating that brings expanded functionality A higher center console supports the driver-centric theme and yields clever storage for items a driver wants to keep handy.
Additional passenger space was designed-in by moving the instrument panel toward the windshield contributing to the cabin's airy open environment Thinner lighter frames support the comfortable next-generation seats trimmed with fabric using recycled sustainable yarns.
Craftsmanship plus dynamics equals feel
Ford Fusion design delivers on the promise of high visual quality with improved materials, elevated levels of craftsmanship and attention to detail
Interior surfaces are softer to the touch and interior and exterior gaps are minimized, while extra care has been taken to upholster or cover each edge and every surface a customer can touch. When the trunk lid is opened for example a spring-loaded cover automatically conceals the trunk latch hardware.
The holistic goal of our craftsmanship process is to see that Fusion not only delivers a superior visual experience but also feels like quality to the customer said Adrian Whittle Fusion chief engineer
Key contributors to how the Fusion feelsare the ride and handling components that maximize vehicle dynamics
This really is a driver's car said John Jraiche, program manager Fusion is even more fun to drive with specially tuned electric power assisted steering EPAS a MacPherson strut front suspension and an all new premium-level multilink rear suspension comparable to Audi and BMW configurations
Careful tuning by Ford's vehicle handling and ride team has yielded a Fusion with a dynamic character that will please a well-seasoned enthusiast while increasing the confidence level of less-experienced drivers
Ford Fusion interior quiet reaches a new level with acoustic underbody shields and weight-saving sound absorption material; both minimize road and powertrain noise while boosting aerodynamic efficiency to help save fuel. The all-new model adds content such as a full-perimeter hood seal to be among the midsize sedan segment leaders in giving drivers a quiet ride.
Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi models also are equipped with active noise control. This feature uses the audio system to mitigate extraneous road noise while enhancing powertrain sounds
Strength and safety
Fusion is designed with customer safety in mind Engineers increased its body strength by 10 percent, using more high steels such as boron and added dual first-row knee airbags and adaptive front airbags that vent and tether to conform to a specific occupant's size position and seatbelt usage.
The Fusion safety team targeted top of the line ratings in each public domain safety benchmark including National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ratings the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick and top ratings in world markets where the car will be sold
The most prominent example is Ford Fusion's front-end architecture as the same car must face simultaneous and seemingly conflictive standards across regions The car's front end is equipped to meet head-on and offset barrier standards for North America while still conforming to European standards for pedestrian protection thanks to hours of computer modeling and 180 validating crash tests.
Ford Fusion will be produced at Ford's Hermosillo Mexico manufacturing facility, soon adding production at AutoAlliance International Plant in Flat Rock Mich The car will appear in Ford showrooms in North America and South America later in 2012 Mondeo will be introduced in 2013 in Asia and Europe
