The 2015 Ford Fusion enters the fray in a basically unchanged model from 2014. Offering a variety of power and fuel efficiency options to choose from for any car shopper, the Fusion allows owners to get the Fusion that is right for them. From a standard engine with all-wheel drive available, to a hybrid to even an all-electric plugin version. Because of all the different options available and the great equipment that can come in the Fusion this is a car that is easy for the entire family to fall in love with quickly.

The newest addition for 2015 on the Fusion is the addition of the all-wheel drive in the midrange SE model that was only available on the Titanium models in previous model years. By offering great style, as well as practicality and a strong amount of performance the Fusion is easy for the whole family to love. This car is a great option as a daily commuter, errand runner, or even if it is saved for weekend adventures to shops, shows, or even just the enjoyment of a Sunday scenic drive in the country.

Looking at the Fusion might offer the feel of a family car, and it certainly is that, but Ford Indianapolis tells us that with a highly tuned suspension and a surprisingly sharp steering system, the Fusion handles any road condition an owner can toss its way and comes back asking for more. Even though the Fusion has a bevy of engine options every one of them offers plenty of power for passing on the highway, darting through traffic in town, or really enjoying the drive to and from work each day.

To start off the long list of engines the base model of the Fusion is equipped with a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine that offers 175 horsepower and 175 lb.-ft. of torque. When partnered with the six-speed automatic transmission this power pairing comes in with a fuel efficiency of 22 city/34 hwy mpg. Overall this is a really nice base engine that will give enough power and fuel efficiency to please most car shoppers.

Next up is the 1.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine that comes equipped with automatic start/stop technology as an option to help save fuel. This engine comes in with 178 horsepower and 177 lb.-ft. of torque and is paired with the same six-speed automatic transmission as the base model. When not equipped with the start/stop technology the fuel efficiency comes in at 23 city/36 hwy mpg and when the start/stop option is present the fuel numbers increase to 25 city/37 hwy mpg.

Batting third is a turbocharged engine that is a little larger at a 1.6-liter size. This engine is offered with a six-speed manual transmission and offers 178 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. This powertrain comes in at 25 city/ 37 hwy mpg to offer a nice power and fuel efficiency as well as the fun some car shoppers enjoy from a manual transmission.

In the cleanup spot is the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine that is the largest of the turbocharged engines coming in with 240 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque for the power hungry crowd. When mated with the six-speed automatic transmission this power pairing offers 22 city/33 hwy mpg for the front-wheel drive model and 22 city/31 hwy mpg for the all-wheel drive versions. Even though this is the power model for the Fusion, the fuel numbers are nothing to sneeze at allowing those who select this version to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Next in line is the 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor, the first of the Fusion hybrids. This engine offers 188 horsepower and 129 lb.-ft. of torque from the engine only. This model is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) to give an awesome fuel efficiency that comes in at 47 city/47 hwy mpg. These kinds of fuel numbers allow owners to skip the gas station just about as often as they want.

To finish off the Fusion engine lineup is a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor plug-in hybrid model. This plug-in version of the Fusion can travel up to 21 miles in just the electric mode and can reach speeds as much as 85 mph in the process. This engine brings in 195 horsepower and 129 lb.-ft. of torque for the gasoline engine. When partnered with the CVT the fuel efficiency comes in at 44 city/41 hwy mpg. The recharge time for a standard 120-volt outlet is around seven hours and 2.5-hours for a 240-volt outlet.

Inside the cabin of the Fusion is found a great amount of room for up to five adults to enjoy the spacious and stylish interior. Adorned in excellent materials all around as well as some very nice metallic accents, the interior of the Fusion is beautiful, functional and when equipped with some of the infotainment systems the Fusion is a very tech savvy as well. This car really does offer a ton of stuff for the entire family to enjoy including a massive trunk that allows plenty of space when needed, especially for long trips and weekend outings.

The exterior of the 2015 Fusion is sharp, elegant and stylish. If the Ford oval was taken away it could easily pass for a luxury car, but thankfully it is not. The front view offers wrap around headlights, a grouchy, road eating grill, and a sweeping angle for the hood and up over the roof. The wheels come in what appears to almost be a honeycomb pattern and the curves across the side are long and sweeping to inspire speed on the outside that can be matched with the power under the hood.

The standard equipment offered on the Fusion include climate controls, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, a four-speaker audio system with an auxiliary port, 16-inch wheels and the Ford SYNC wireless communication system. The SE model adds a 10-way power driver’s seat, rear air vents, a six-speaker audio system and 17-inch wheels. At the top, the Titanium model comes in with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 12-speaker Sony premium audio system with HD and satellite radio, dual zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, leather upholstery, and 18-inch wheels.

Optional equipment available for the Fusion includes leather upholstery, upgraded audio system, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, collision warning systems, Active Park Assist, reverse sensing system, and all-wheel drive. All of this takes the Fusion from a very nice vehicle to a very close to luxury one giving owners a great car to drive.

The base model Fusion starts out just over $23,000 offering an easy to live with price for a great car to own. The SE starts just under $25,000 while the heavily equipped Titanium model shows up starting around $31,500. The all-wheel drive will add $2,000 to the price of any model ti can be equipped with. For the Hybrid lovers, the base hybrid comes in around $27,500 and the plug-in mode starts around $35,500. All of this offers a lot of choices for car shoppers to get the Fusion that is right for them and their family.
