Ford is well-known for its ability to produce vehicles that are powerful and have the latest features on the market. The 2018 Ford Fusion is the epitome of this assessment, offering power under the hood in a sleek and feature-filled package. Here are several cool features about the Fusion that are worth mentioning.
Smart Features
Technology is as much a part of vehicles today as it is in every other aspect of life. Ford didn’t just apply it to little conveniences either. In the 2018 Fusion, safety gets all the upgrades. Equip your Fusion with Pre-Collision Assist. This feature works thanks to sensors that detect if the car is about to collide with a pedestrian. It flashes a warning on the windshield and makes an alert sound. Brake Assist is also more sensitive and will kick in if needed.
Besides keeping people safe, the Fusion also helps you park. Other ultrasonic sensors measure how far you are from other cars and help you park once you find the right spot. All you need to do is shift, accelerate, or brake. It works for backing in and parallel parking. The car’s Cross Traffic Alert also helps keep you safe when pulling out of a parking space or your driveway. It flashes an alert in the mirror and sounds off for cars up to 15 miles away. Cross Traffic Alert also includes the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).
Performance
Ford put power behind the 2018 Fusion. The vehicle comes with three engine options, including a 1.5L EcoSport with auto stop/start, a 2.0L EcoSport engine, and a 2.7L V-6 EcoSport for the V-6 Fusion Sport. Each engine comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission and direct fuel injection. The vehicle’s performance doesn’t stop with the engine though.
The 2018 Ford Fusion has MacPherson strut-type suspension with a stabilizing bar. This helps to keep vibrations, road noise, and body roll at a minimum when cornering. Also standard is electronic power-assisted steering. It helps the driver maintain control on roads that are not typical and prevents drift.
Design
The Fusion is smart, powerful, and elegant. The stylish design is apparent both inside and out. The exterior features a distinct grille, an available spoiler, and a list of elegant colors, including a few clear coat and metallic options. Inside, Ford even changed the shifting mechanism. Gone is the traditional automatic stick, and in its place is a dial. Not only is it sleek, it’s also space-saving. Next to the dial are cup holders and a USB port.
Elsewhere inside the Fusion, drivers can add a power moonroof, upholstery choices like cloth, vinyl, or leather, and upgrades through packages. The Appearance Package comes in different trims and offers options like 18-inch dark stainless wheels, halogen fog lamps, and a 10-way power driver’s seat.
The 2018 Ford Fusion offers smart features and performance rolled into one elegantly designed package. It’s a sedan that is comfortable and safe, yet always fun to drive. Visit Loganville Ford to see our inventory and schedule a test-drive of the Fusion today.
