MOST FUEL EFFICIENT MID-SEDAN IN AMERICA
An increase in power once meant a decrease in economy. Not anymore. Take the new 2010 mid-size Fusion. The 2.5L Duratec I-4 engine delivers higher power ratings of 175 horsepower and 172 lbs./ft. of torque. It also puts Fusion at the head of its class in fuel economy with EPA-estimated 23 City/34 Hwy/27 Combined mpg.* And imagine getting 41 miles per gallon and being able to travel over 700 miles on a single tank of gas - in city traffic. That's the kind of mileage you can expect to achieve in an all-new Fusion Hybrid, the most fuel-efficient hybrid sedan in its class.† No compromise - expect nothing less in a Ford Fusion.

47 MPH IN EV MODE
Fusion Hybrid can go up to 47 miles per hour on the power of the electric motor alone. No other hybrid vehicle can match this top speed in EV (electric vehicle) mode. This helps Fusion Hybrid achieve a class-leading 41 miles per gallon in city traffic and 700 miles on a single tank of gas.* And that's an important fact well worth considering when investing in a hybrid vehicle.

GAS & HYBRID POWERTRAINS
If you're looking for responsive performance in the most fuel-efficient mid-size sedan in America, the 2.5L Duratec I-4 engine with advanced features like intake variable cam timing technology is the way to go. It cranks out 175 horses and 172 lbs.-ft. of torque, while delivering EPA-estimated 23 City/34 Highway/27 Combined mpg. Pretty impressive!
The 3.0L Duratec V6 is equipped with variable-cam timing and flex-fuel (E-85) capability. Its 240 horsepower rating is up more than 19 horses over the previous 3.0L V6.
The 3.5L Duratec V6 generating 263 horsepower is the feature powerplant in the new Fusion Sport model, which also comes equipped with a modified sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch painted aluminum wheels, sport trim inside and out, Ford SYNC® Communications and Entertainment System, and much more.
And there's the all-new Fusion Hybrid. While so much attention is paid to its outstanding best-in-class fuel economy,† the 2.5L Atkinson-Cycle Hybrid I-4 system combines with the electric motor to generate 191 net horsepower rating, delivering the responsive power you need, when you need it.

6 SPEED MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
By designing a transmission with more gears, engineers can calibrate its wider range of ratios to deliver more responsive acceleration at the low end and higher fuel economy at the high overdrive gear. In the case of the new Ford Fusion, Ford engineers used the 6-speed transmission to help achieve best-in-class fuel economy.*
All transmissions in Ford Fusion gas models now have six speeds. A 6-speed manual comes standard in the Fusion S and SE with the 2.5L Duratec I-4 engine, while the SEL I-4 model gets a smooth-shifting and quiet-operating 6-speed automatic (optional with S and SE).
V6-powered Fusion models feature the 6-speed SelectShift™ automatic transmission. You can override automatic operation and enjoy the fun-to-drive experience of a manual transmission, providing total control over gear selection and performance feel.
The 2.5L Atkinson-Cycle Hybrid I-4 engine is teamed with an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (eCVT). As its name suggests, this transmission is designed to provide seamless shifting because there is no progression of gear changes in the usual sense. What's more, because the eCVT can compensate for changing vehicle speeds, it allows engine speed to remain at its level of peak efficiency, helping make the Fusion Hybrid the most fuel-efficient hybrid sedan in its class.†

BALANCED RIDE AND HANDLING
Ford Fusion features a double-wishbone independent front suspension with stabilizer bar, a design commonly found in top-of-the-line sports and luxury cars. And Ford engineers made the best use of the multi-link independent rear suspension's design flexibility to deliver excellent ride quality and handling capability.
AGILE SPORT HANDLING
For the driving enthusiast who demands more power, and more handling agility, we've added the new Sport model to the exciting Fusion lineup. Modified sport-tuned suspension components bring the Fusion handling experience to an even higher dimension of driving enjoyment, to match the power of the 263-hp 3.5L 24-valve V6.
ADVANCE TRAC® ESC (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL)
AdvanceTrac® ESC (Electronic Stability Control) automatically applies the brakes and modulates engine torque whenever it detects wheel slip, and helps avoid skidding and fishtailing by controlling understeer and oversteer. It also helps maintain more control under conditions such as ice, gravel or rain, providing more confident stopping power.automatically applies the brakes and modulates engine torque whenever it detects wheel slip, and helps avoid skidding and fishtailing by controlling understeer and oversteer.

AVAILABLE CLASS - EXCLUSIVE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
The V6-powered Fusion with class-exclusive* All-Wheel Drive (AWD) improves traction on any surface where wheel slip can occur, such as ice, snow, mud or gravel. It constantly monitors driving conditions and distributes engine torque to the wheels with the most traction. So if the front wheels are experiencing poor low-speed traction, AWD will automatically transfer most of the torque to the rear wheels or the wheels having the most traction. At highway speed, the AWD system automatically deactivates to help conserve fuel.
*Class is mid-size sedan.
SOUND THROUGH SONY
Your Fusion is engineered to handle with precision and agility. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy some serious rock ‘n' rolling - which is what the exclusive new optional Sony® Sound System provides. The system features Dolby DAEP 5.1 Surround Sound technology and Sony DSP processing, 390 watts of power, and 12 high-quality premium speakers including two subwoofers. It comes with a 6-disc in-dash CD changer (single disc CD player with available Navigation System) and is, of course, MP3-capable.

REAR VIEW CAMERA
Put the gear selector in Reverse and the optional Rear View Camera automatically transmits the image to your rearview mirror (shown), when you're slowly backing up. If your Fusion is equipped with the available Navigation System, the image is shown on the navigation screen.
BLIS™ (Blind Spot Information System)
The available class-exclusive* BLIS™ (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert is yet another new innovation available on the 2010 Ford Fusion.
