What kind of car is the Ford Fusion?

The popular hybrid version (which is also in demand in Georgia) is distinguished by its fuel economy, but it also has an Achilles' heel: the gearbox (CVT) . Hybrid gearboxes mainly have problems due to late oil changes, after which new oil only temporarily saves the situation and you will definitely have to repair or replace it.

6-speed gearboxes cannot boast of durability either, the same problem occurs here, late service leads to rough gear changes, jerks begin. But unlike hybrid gearboxes, they work without problems even in such conditions.

First update: 2017-2018 (transition period)

This was the first major facelift, released in response to the problems of the 2012-2016 models.

The Fusion received a new front and rear visual, changed headlights and added daytime running lights, and minor changes were made to the interior.

Technical changes:

• 1.5 Engine: The problematic 1.6 EcoBoost engine has been completely replaced by the less problematic 1.5 EcoBoost .

• Transmission: Both the hybrid and 6-speed automatic transmissions were worked on.

• New trim: The Fusion Sport trim was added , equipped with a powerful 2.7 V6 EcoBoost engine and AWD (all-wheel drive) system.

Technological changes:

• SYNC 3: The updated models received the SYNC 3 multimedia system, which is a giant leap compared to the pre-2016 versions.

• Rotary Shifter: The traditional gear lever has been replaced with a rotary (rotary) shifter.

Second update: 2019-2020 (Farewell)

Here, the exterior has changed slightly again, with this update they mainly paid attention to technical flaws, and it is believed that the third restyling Fusion is the most durable. Unfortunately, the budget focused on durability has oppressed the interior, at first glance it is still pleasant and comfortable, but the first generation clearly leaves a more quality feeling.

• Ford Co-Pilot360™: All packages this year have:

  • Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).

  • Lane-Keeping System.

  • Automatic emergency braking.
