Fusion in Panther Black
Engines and technology
The Fusion is available with a range of engine and transmission options. Whichever you choose, you will be able to enjoy the assured handling of a small car combined with the performance of a far larger one.

Because this is an overview of the Ford Fusion, some features mentioned below may be standard across the range whilst others may be optional extras or available only on selected models. Please refer to the full Features and specifications for specific details or contact your Ford Dealer. You can also use our configurator tool to build your perfect Ford Fusion.

Engines and gears
Power and control
You can choose from a comprehensive range of engine sizes and transmissions, to suit your requirements – whether for frequent cruises down the motorway, regular stop/start city driving or a mixture of both.
Duratec petrol engine
Petrol engines
If you prefer petrol, you can choose between two light alloy, Duratec 16V engines. With either the 80 PS 1.4-litre with 124 Nm of torque, or the 100 PS 1.6-litre with 146 Nm of torque, the Fusion can effortlessly deliver the power, whenever you need it.
Duratorq TDCi Diesel engine
Diesel engines
Choose from the 1.4-litre TDCi Duratorq which produces 68 PS or the 16 valve, 1.6-litre TDCi Duratorq engine which delivers an impressive 90 PS. Both have light alloy cylinder and have been redesigned to give you improved responsiveness, economy and emissions.
Transmissions
The Fusion’s diesel engines have manual transmission, while both the 1.4-litre Duratec petrol engine and 1.6-litre petrol engine have a manual 5-gear transmission as well as hill climb and descent sensing. The 1.6-litre Duratec petrol engine also comes with automatic transmission, while the 1.4-litre Duratec also comes with the Durashift EST (Electronic Shift Transmission).
 
This has a floor-mounted gearshift, hydraulic computer-automated clutch, and no clutch pedal – in ‘sequential manual’ mode there’s tip-up/tip-down gear changing, and in ‘automated’ mode it has a kickdown function. So you can instantly change down to a lower gear by putting your foot hard on the accelerator, a feature you’ll undoubtedly appreciate when you need some extra thrust for overtaking.
