First Look at the 2013 Ford Fusion!



Ford set out to make a "beautiful-looking car" and they definitely did with the new 2013 Ford Fusion! This all new fusion has a sleek and stylish coupe look with its fast new roofline and large sparkling headlights. It will also be first to offer the options of a gas, hybrid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles!

The New 2013 Fusion will have a few tempting and attractive trim levels, the S, SE and Titanium. The S has a 2.5-liter iVCT four; six-speed comes in automatic only. The SE has a 2.5 liter with automatic standard and a 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four with six-speed manual or automatic and the SE also has an appearance or Luxury package. The SE Hybrid has a two-mode hybrid with a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four non-turbo engine and the SE Energi is a Plug in hybrid with the same! The Fusion Titanium has a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo engine with all-wheel drive and it's also available in hybrid.

This Fusion is also full of fun high-tech gadgets! An example of this is the lane keep system, which sports a camera mounted on the rear-view mirror! This helps determine if the car is weaving in and out of lanes and if so the car will send a small vibration to the steering wheel to alert the driver. Drivers also have the option of radar based cruise control, a parallel parking system and a blind-spot warning system. The 2013 Fusion will also come standard with the Sync voice-recognition system which helps take away the distraction of mobile phones.

Safety is also important to Ford! The new Fusion is made with ten percent more high-strength steel making this a stronger car. It also has eight standard airbags including driver and passenger knee airbags. The Fusion also did extremely well in both American and European Crash tests. The new and exciting Ford won't be hitting the showrooms until late this summer but its definitely a car we want to keep a close eye on!
