What's New For the 2020 Ford Fusion?

Apart from the discontinuation of the Sport trim, nothing changes with the Ford Fusion, which production run draws to a close with the 2020 model year. Praised perennially for its aggressive and attractive exterior styling, the Fusion also provides solid performance and a generous list of standard features to solidify its position among the better midsize sedans in the market.

The Ford Fusion Has Many Features Across Four Trims

The 2020 Ford Fusion is split into four trims: S, SE, SEL, and Titanium. At its base level, the Fusion provides two cloth-trimmed rows of seats to accommodate up to five occupants. The front consists of a 6-way adjustable driver's seat and a 4-way adjustable passenger seat, and the rear consists of a seatback with a 60/40 split-folding design to maximize cargo space. Other standard features include a 4.2-inch LCD instrument cluster display for driver information, proximity key entry, push-button engine start, auto-dimming ability on the rearview mirror, a four-speaker stereo system with AM/FM and a single-disc CD player with MP3 playback compatibility, and the SYNC communications system.

The SE trim level welcomes additions or upgrades such as remote connectivity with FordPass Connect, a Wi-Fi hotspot, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, two 4.2-inch LCD instrument cluster displays (instead of one), SYNC 3 infotainment integration, a trial subscription to SiriusXM radio, and a six-speaker stereo system (instead of the four-speaker setup). The SEL provides you with synthetic upholstery, front-seat heating,10-way power adjustability with power lumbar on the driver's seat, 6-way power adjustability on the front passenger seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a driver-side memory system, and remote start. Exclusive to the Titanium is the all-wheel drivetrain as an option, leather upholstery, front-seat cooling (in addition to heating), steering-wheel heating, trial subscriptions to SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link, and voice-activated navigation.

What's Under the Hood of the 2020 Ford Fusion?

On the base-level S trim, expect a 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder (I4) engine with 175 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque. On the SE and SEL, Ford installs the 1.5-liter EcoBoost I4 with an output of 181 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. The 1.5-liter has auto start-stop technology to eliminate engine idling, thus improving fuel economy. The Titanium is powered by a 2.0-liter EcoBoost I4, which generates 231 horsepower (with regular fuel) or 245 horsepower with (premium fuel) and 275 lb-ft of torque. (Like the 1.5-liter, this engine has auto start-stop.) Each engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission; paddle shifters are added with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost to make gear shifting more convenient.
