2018 Ford Fusion Review


Pros

  • Generous cabin space
  • Good and responsive infotainment system
  • Wide range of active-safety technology
  • Balanced handling

Cons

  • Low fuel economy
  • Underperformer base engine
  • Average rear seating area

2018 Ford Fusion is offered with four engine options - base 2.5 Liter inline four, 1.5 Liter EcoBoost , 2.0 Liter EcoBoost and a 2.7 Liter EcoBoost engine. The prices for the Ford Fusion start at $ 22,120 for the base model.

Overview


The 2018 Ford Fusion model features a base 2.5-liter Duratec I-4 with more engine options like a turbocharged 1.5-liter EcoBoost I-4, a turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4, and the Sport model's twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. The 2018 Ford Fusion is also available in hybrid trims, namely hybrid and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) that combines a 2.0-liter Atkinson-Cycle Inline-4 with an electric motor along with an E-CVT.

Ford Fusion is also available in hybrid and plug-in hybrid trims, known as Fusion Energi. Both sedans are front-wheel drive. The hybrid trim is powered by a 2.0-liter non-turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a small electric motor, a Lithium-ion battery pack. The engine is paired with a CVT automatic transmission. Ford Fusion offers a performance that is expected from a car in this segment. The base engine is quite disappointing, but the optional turbocharged engine is a better performer for sure. The handling turns out to be sporty and the ride quality somehow is decent on normal roads.

Which trim to go for?

Fusion SE trim offers a decent list of standard features. Opt for the optional 1.5 Liter EcoBoost engine. This engine offers more power and better mileage than the standard engine. If you want more power, opt for the optional 2.0 Liter EcoBoost engine with all-wheel-drive.

Engine and Performance
8.4/10


Under the hood, Ford Fusion is gifted with four engine options. The base engine comprises of 175-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which is quite underperforming. There are two turbocharged EcoBoost engines: a 1.5-liter four-cylinder that is capable of delivering a maximum power of 181 hp and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 245 horses. 

For extra performance delivery, we have the Ford Fusion Sport that comes with a twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 engine that propels exemplary 325 horses. This model offers a thrilling driving experience. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard in all models. The acceleration from the base engine available with the 2018 Fusion S is unpleasant. It takes 8.9 seconds to go 0-60 MPH while other rivals like Sonata and Optima do it in 6.8 seconds.

Competition
8.0/10


Ford Fusion vs. Toyota Camry

Toyota Camry is undoubtedly one of the best-selling sedan cars in the United States. The 2018 Camry offers well in reliability rating while the 2018 Fusion offers better performance. Unlike the Fusion, Camry comes with hefty standard equipment but misses out on the availability of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Ford Fusion offers smartphone integration and easy access, making it an overall better proposition between the two.

Ford Fusion vs. Kia Optima

Kia Optima comes with excellent styling and is worth considering. While Fusion holds impressive interior space and advanced tech features, the better engine performance of Kia in the segment makes it a better of the two in the segment.

Ford Fusion vs. Hyundai Sonata

Sonata and Fusion are both available in front-wheel-drive configuration, but Fusion also offers all-wheel drive as an option. Fusion has added features this year after a redesign in 2013, while Sonata got redesigned in 2015. Sonata ranks seconds among the mid-size sedan cars while the Fusion can be spotted at 11th position. The choice remains yours. 

 

Final Verdict


The Fusion base model lacks power, but the turbocharged model can be a better bet. The Fusion can be fun to drive for everyday commuting. The Sport trim is performance-oriented, and it will keep you thrilled wherever you take the car. The interior and cargo offer plenty of space. On the safety front also the sedan has scored well. If you are considering a decent family sedan to buy that is equipped with the latest tech features, then the 2018 Ford Fusion can be a smart choice. However, for better base models consideration, you should look upon alternatives like Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata.
