One of the first things you'll notice when you hit the road in the 2013 Ford Fusion is its agile and sporty handling. This midsize sedan comes standard with electric-assist power steering, which brings great composure when turning around sharp corners in particular. Plus, front struts and a rear multi-link suspension provide welcome athletic behavior on the road, without being too stiff or rigid. Comfort is further enhanced by the fact that road noise is reduced to a minimum, even on rough or worn-out surfaces.
The 2013 Ford Fusion is a roomy and comfortable family vehicle that can seat up to five people. It has a spacious interior, with legroom and headroom measurements that make the Fusion supremely practical. Passengers in the front get 39.2 inches of headroom and 44.3 inches of legroom, with second-row headroom and legroom measuring 37.8 inches and 38.3 inches, respectively. Split-folding rear seats are standard, as is a power-adjustable driver's seat. With a total interior volume of 118.8 cu-ft, the 2013 Ford Fusion is almost as spacious as a full-size sedan.
Aimed at enhanced connectivity and convenience for all passengers, the 2013 Ford Fusion is equipped with lots of tech features that come standard. One of the most noteworthy features is the MyFord Touch® infotainment system, which includes audio and phone connectivity via Bluetooth® and features voice control. In addition, the Fusion has three 12-volt ports and standard air conditioning.
Another compelling reason to consider the 2013 Ford Fusion is its ample storage space. There's 16 cu-ft of room in the trunk, which is plenty for daily life and weekend trips away. The trunk is deep, able to accommodate large suitcases or bulky sporting equipment, and there are plenty of options for storing small items throughout the cabin.
When it comes to performance, the 2013 Ford Fusion has three engine options that offer an exciting driving experience. The base engine is a 2.5L four-cylinder that generates 175 hp and 175 lb-ft of torque, combined with a six-speed automatic transmission. Two other engines are available: a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder with 178 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque and a 240-hp turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder that puts out 270 lb-ft of torque. When powered by the base 175-hp 2.5L engine, the 2013 Ford Fusion goes from zero to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of 135 mph (according to the manufacturer, when new).
