The current generation (the eighth) was introduced in 2015 and features four different powertrains: two gas engines, two hybrid engine options, and one plug-in electric vehicle option.

The Fusion Energi is the only plug-in hybrid of its class. It can get up to 22 mpg in the city and up to 100 mpge on average, based on EPA estimates.

This generation of Fusions offers a more upscale interior with comfort features such as temperature settings for both front and rear passengers available in the standard SYNC 3 infotainment system, which is an upgrade from previous versions capable of hosting smartphone apps.

Other optional luxury options include heated rear seats, cooled front seats, leather seating surfaces, an upgraded 12-speaker Sony audio system with HD radio capability. The exterior has received some updates since the model debuted including redesigned bumpers and headlights.

The Ford Fusion has been recognized by several awards over its lifetime. It has been recognized by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as a Top Safety Pick.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has awarded the Fusion with five stars on every test category except rollover, which receives four stars.

The IIHS also named it Good in most subcategories but Marginal in front overlap. Over its lifetime it has won over three dozen awards from various organizations and publications.

One of the features that made the Ford Fusion so successful was its interior lighting system which included high intensity LEDs to provide lighting for the center mounted LCD screen, door handle lights, courtesy lights.

High-quality lights are built to withstand the harshest weather conditions as they enhance safe driving. Individualize your Ford Fusion with some flashy custom tail lights, an additional stylish brake light, or some extra bright headlights.

HIDs are a good option for your Fusion’s projector housing. They come with different color temperatures and degrees of brightness. The physical metal cutoff within the Fusion projectors allows them to sit pretty well. The only problem is that you might be required to drill your headlight rubber cover and install ballasts to the engine bay for wiring purposes.
