2018 Ford Fusion Specs

The Ford Fusion can accommodate all levels of drivers, with power and efficiency being offered with their varying engine options. The base level Ford Fusion S comes equipped with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that's paired with a 6-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission. This engine produces 175 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. If that's not enough for you, there are plenty of other options to check out..

• The 2.0L GTDI 4-cylinder EcoBoost® delivers 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque.
• The 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 adds the most push with 325 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque.
• The 2.0L Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder hybrid engine drops the power to 141 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque, but pushes the efficiency to 43/41 city/highway MPG. 

Ford Fusion Interior

As expected, the Ford Fusion interior offers different degrees of style and comfort with its varying trim levels. While each trim offers a great deal of comfort, it's the higher trims that offer more luxurious seating appointment options. The base level Ford Fusion comes equipped with a 6-way manual adjustable driver's seat with fabric trim.

• When you upgrade to the SE, the next trim level from the base, you get optional leather-trimmed seats and a 10-way power adjustable driver's seat.
• The Ford Fusion Titanium also features the 10-way adjuster, but it also includes the memory system that allows you to preset your preferred seating and mirror positions.
• The Ford Fusion Sport features sport seats with Dark Earth Gray Miko® and leather seating, while the Platinum comes outfitted with premium leather seating.
