Ford Fusion: The Stylish Midsize Sedan

The Fusion was Ford's midsize sedan, praised for its handsome design, engaging drive, and available hybrid and plug-in hybrid power.

Launched in 2006, the Fusion competed against the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. The second generation, introduced in 2013, drew particular praise for its sleek, Aston Martin-influenced styling that made it one of the best-looking sedans in its class.

The Fusion offered a wide range of powertrains, from four-cylinder and turbocharged EcoBoost engines to hybrid and Energi plug-in hybrid versions, plus available all-wheel drive and the sporty Fusion Sport.

Ford discontinued the Fusion around 2020 as it exited the sedan market in North America, ending a well-regarded model that combined style, efficiency, and driving enjoyment.

Every few months a new obituary gets written for the sedan. Sales are down. Automakers are canceling models. The crossover has won. The four-door is finished. And every time someone writes that obituary, the Toyota Camry sells another 300,000 units, the Honda Accord moves another 200,000, and the Tesla Model 3 quietly becomes one of the best-selling vehicles on the planet. The sedan is not dead. A specific group of automakers decided it was not worth their effort, walked away, and then pointed at falling sales as proof the customer did not want it anymore...
