our expert's take

What Is the 2020 Ford Fusion?

The Ford Fusion is a mid-size sedan that seats up to five people. A 175-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is standard, but a selection of turbocharged four-cylinder engines is available. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid (Energi) variants are also offered. All engines pair with a six-speed automatic transmission, except for the hybrid versions, which have a continuously variable automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. Competitors include the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata.

What’s New on the 2020 Ford Fusion?

The FordPass Connect telematics system is now standard.

What Features in the 2020 Ford Fusion Are Most Important?

Standard active safety features include forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and automatic high-beam headlights.

Available features include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, power-adjustable front seats, leather-trimmed seats, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power moonroof, an 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system, navigation, a Sony premium stereo and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity.

Should I Buy the 2020 Ford Fusion?

The Fusion remains a good-driving mid-size sedan with noteworthy ride and handling. The available Sync 3 touchscreen multimedia system is easy to use, but the car’s backseat feels cramped and thick pillars limit forward visibility. The Fusion was last redesigned for the 2013 model year, and Ford says this is the last generation of the sedan. Going forward, the automaker is turning the bulk of its attention to SUVs and trucks.

  • Awful overall, underpowered nightmare.

    Awful overall, underpowered nightmare. The seat heaters got hot randomly, the engine got a vapor problem after 30,000 miles and it is an awful trap of a car. I have no doubt it will break down again very soon.

  • Miss the Fusion.

    I find it interesting that 3 years after the fusion went out of production people are still writing about how they like it and so it's very interesting Ford has not offered anything to truly replace it. The Mach e is way to expensive, and does not have the range. I love our Fusion, and at my age it will be my last car. I understand why Ford dropped the Fusion I just think it was the wrong decision. Other manufacturers saw that market and the opportunity ,ford said you can have it.

  • One of the Best Cars I have owned

    I absolutely love this car. One of the best investments I have ever made. This is the Third ford vehicle I have owned. Its got a really smooth ride. I love the safety features. I drove my Fusion from California to Ohio and back. I was averaging 725 miles to the tank. My only disappointment is that they no longer make the Ford Fusion Hybrids.

  • Cant take the Ford out of me

    I'm a Ford person. You cant get the Ford out of me. I have always liked their style and features. And the price of my Fusion was a plus. I have always owned a Ford vehicle and they always step it up to keep my interest intrigued. All of the Ford vehicles I've owned were comfortable, sturdy, great power (motor wise) and fancy for me.

  • Smooth Ride

    I really enjoy my fusion, For a small car it has a pretty good size trunk, I have 2 car seats & still have room for someone to sit in the middle, the safety features are nice, but I like that I can turn off the features I don’t want. Great gas mileage & smooth ride.

  • Safety features are awful!

    Safety features are too much and a little dangerous. The autocorrect when you go towards the line was the worst. When I had a semi veering into my lane, I had to go into the emergency lane a little and it was fighting me.

    We were looking for a car that was dependable, fuel efficient and affordable. We had a Fusion in the past so we were looking for this model and we found a 2020 model at a great price so we bought it.
