Is the 2017 Fusion the most impressive midsize sedan we here at Cleburne Ford have ever encountered?
We'll put it to you like this: if the Fusion isn't already at the top of that list, it's likely that it will be soon.
And since we recognize that such a statement calls for some context, we now suggest you scope the clip below. Link up with AutoGuide.com Managing Editor Jodi Lai, as she enumerates some of the Fusion's choicest qualities:
No doubt one of our favorite engines throughout the Fusion lineup, the mid-level turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is truly exceptional.
Available with the SE trim -- and standard on the Titanium and Platinum -- this turbo-four makes a muscly 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, as is front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive, meanwhile, is optional.
We'd note that this engine is especially peppy when had with the all-wheel platform. So equipped, it'll do the 0-to-60 mph dash in just 6.9 seconds.
So, what're you waiting for, faithful friend? The time is now to experience the charm of this cruiser. As such, we invite you to pop by our Cleburne, TX facility, whereupon we'll happily arrange a test drive in the Fusion, or any other Ford model that's ensnared your attention.
