2015 Ford Fusion review

1. Three engine options

This is a sedan with three engine choices so you can find something to suit your driving style. The standard powertrain is a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, and when paired with forward-wheel drive, it's good for an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined.

If you enjoy the sound of a turbocharged engine and the power boost it provides on mountain roads and highway on-ramps, the 2015 Fusion has two further options to consider. The SE trim can be optioned with a turbocharged 1.5L EcoBoost^® engine, while the top-trim Titanium is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost engine as standard. Tailor it further if you wish with available AWD (only on the 2.0L engine), or try a hybrid version: the Fusion Hybrid or plug-in hybrid Fusion Energi.

2. Helpful standard features

How about some truly useful standard features that improve your everyday driving experience? If you share your wheels with a college roommate or your newly qualified teen, Ford's MyKey^® driver monitoring technology is especially handy. This helpful feature includes maximum speed limit settings and a seatbelt reminder chime. On top of this, a rearview camera is newly standard for the 2015 model year, supporting you in city parking lots as when pulling up at home.

3. Smart storage

A sedan silhouette offers unrivaled curb appeal, that's for sure, but this five-seater also handles practicalities too, with plenty of storage options for you and your passengers. Trunk storage tops out at 16.0 cu-ft, enough for weekends away and regular grocery store visits. Road trips with your crew are also made easier with the Fusion. The front-row center armrest has cup holders and a hidden storage bin. If need be, you can keep valuables in the lockable glove compartment, and your passenger's travel essentials in the door cubbies or front-row seatback pockets.

4. Tech for busy people

If your next sedan needs to double up as an office on the move, then the 2015 Fusion allows you to stay in touch with customers and colleagues as you travel. If you need to call the office or want to access your favorite business podcast during a long journey, the 2015 Fusion has two standard features you'll love. Ford SYNC^® comes as standard and is a voice-activated control system for hands-free calling, while the Fusion's Bluetooth^® functionality allows you to enjoy your favorite music between appointments, and on that sunset drive home.

5. Great package options

To upgrade those everyday journeys, score a 2015 Fusion SE or Titanium equipped with one of the available options packages. For a unique look in the executive parking lot, pick the mid-level SE trim Fusion with the available Appearance package. Its rear decklid spoiler, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and aluminum wheels will grab admiring glances. Looking to enhance your own sensory awareness in downtown traffic? The Fusion's Driver Assist package (SE, Titanium) includes a Blind Spot Information System (BLIS^®) with cross-traffic alert, a lane-keeping system, auto high beams, and more.
