You can choose between two engine sizes and two transmissions, to suit your requirements – whether for frequent cruises down the motorway, regular stop/start city driving or a mixture of both.
The Ford Fusion is available with an extensive range of engine and transmission options. Whichever you choose, you will be able to enjoy the assured handling of a small car combined with the performance of a far larger one.
Power and control
Ford petrol engine
The 1.4-litre Duratec petrol engine produces 80 PS, and has a manual 5-speed transmission.
The 1.4-litre Duratec also comes with the Durashift EST (Electronic Shift Transmission). This has a floor-mounted gearshift, hydraulic computer-automated clutch, and no clutch pedal – in ‘sequential manual’ mode there’s tip-up/tip-down gear changing, and in ‘automated’ mode it has a kickdown function. This means you can instantly change down to a lower gear by putting your foot hard on the accelerator, a feature you’ll undoubtedly appreciate when you need some extra thrust for overtaking.
Driving characteristics
Thanks to an elevated stance and driving position the Ford Fusion gives you exceptional all-round visibility. Yet the typical small car driving characteristics of remarkable stability and tenacious road holding haven’t been compromised. Which means, you can enjoy both ‘big car’ self-assurance and ‘small car’ agility.
