Ford used the previous Fusion to usher in its new three-bar grille, which has been a hit with buyers. The current Fusion has an even bolder chrome grille, as if announcing to the world, "Yes, bigger is better." In ascending order, trim levels are the S, SE, SEL and Sport. The Fusion has room for up to five people, and all-wheel drive is optional. There's also a Fusion Hybrid that's detailed separately in the Cars.com Research section.
