The Ford Fusion of years past has been quite a game changer and head turner and the 2017 is no exception. The 21017 models are the most technologically advanced lineup yet with two hybrid models and a new all-wheel drive Fusion V6 Sport designed to blow away any other family size sedans. The V6 Sport and Platinum add to the lineup including three EcoBoost engine choices as well as two hybrids: The Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi plug-in.
The new Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi feature new software that delivers an even more refined and engaging drive for customers, while more efficient electric motors are expected to contribute to better fuel economy and a purer range of electric driving. The Fusion hybrids are technology-packed electrified vehicles that offer an advanced Eco Guide system to provide drivers real-time coaching to get even better fuel economy. Fusion Energi features a 7.6-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery for an expected range of 19 miles using electric power only. The car automatically switches to an efficient 2.0L gasoline engine when the battery is depleted, allowing customers to drive more than 500 miles.
The 2017 Ford Fusion sedan is the most technologically-advanced midsize car Ford has ever built in North America – the first car sold here with Ford’s pedestrian detection system. Fusion also has hands-free parallel and perpendicular parking capability. The new high-tech gear shift dial results in a roomier cabin with easy-to-reach bins. Lane-keeping assist helps drivers maintain proper lane position using a small, forward-facing camera behind the rear view mirror that “looks” at the road ahead – monitoring lane lines to ensure the car is on course.
Available Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert includes sensors in the car’s rear quarter-panels that can detect traffic in a driver’s blind spot, providing both audible and visual warnings if traffic – unseen by the driver – is detected. It also enables cross-traffic alert, warning the driver of oncoming traffic when backing out of a parking space with obstructed views.
SYNC 3, Ford’s new communications and entertainment system, is also available. It features faster performance, more conversational voice recognition, a more intuitive smartphone-like touch screen and easier-to-understand graphical interface. SYNC Connect, optional with SYNC 3, enables owners to remotely start their car, schedule future starts, or lock and unlock the car using their smartphone.
