The Fusion recently benefitted from a well-deserved overhaul and the resulting more dynamic lines create an obvious link to the brand’s other models. Ford’s mid-size car has a multitude of versions ranging from the hybrid plug-in to the posh AWD Titanium. Say so long to the V6, as the Fusion now features the four-cylinder only. Two naturally-aspirated engines are also offered in the base trims while the brawnier versions are equipped with the Ecoboost.
