221 Horsepower Available
The Duratec 30 3.0L V6 delivers the performance of 221 spirited horses to match
the bold Ford Fusion styling. This modern V6 is engineered with four valves per
cylinder, activated by dual overhead camshafts with advanced intake variable-cam
timing (iVCT) technology to increase engine breathing and boost power output.
More power isn't the only performance feature of Fusion V6-powered models. They
also come equipped with standard Traction Control System.
6-Speed Automatic Transmission
The 6-speed automatic transmission is a major feature contributing to the
Duratec 30 3.0L V6 engine's excellent balance of power and efficiency. Its wide
span of gear ratios across the six speeds provides responsive acceleration at
the low end and enhanced fuel economy* at the overdrive 6th gear. *EPA estimated
18 city/26 hwy mpg FWD. Actual mileage will vary.
First-in-Class All Wheel Drive
The V6-powered Fusion with first-in-class All-Wheel Drive (AWD) improves
traction on any surface where wheel slip can occur, such as ice, snow, mud or
gravel. It constantly monitors driving conditions and distributes engine torque
to where it's needed most. So if the front wheels are experiencing poor
low-speed traction, AWD will automatically transfer most of the torque to the
rear wheels or the wheels having the most traction. At highway speed, the AWD
system automatically deactivates to help conserve fuel.
Impressive Fuel Economy
The 2.3L 16-valve Duratec I4 is engineered with four valves per cylinder,
activated by dual overhead camshafts with advanced intake variable-cam timing (iVCT)
technology. This design increases engine breathing and boosts power output. The
2.3L Duratec, with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivers not only an
impressive 160-hp rating, but also excellent fuel economy estimates of 20
city/29 hwy mpg.*
*EPA-estimated mpg 20 city/29 highway I4 engine with 5-speed manual
transmission; 20 city/28 highway with I4 engine and available 5-speed automatic
transmission.
Double-Wishbone Front Suspension
Fusion features a double-wishbone independent front suspension with stabilizer
bars. With the shock absorber and coil spring mounted to two parallel
wishbone-shaped arms, the system can be engineered to carefully control wheel
motion throughout suspension travel, helping to keep chassis motion and body
roll to a minimum. The double-wishbone design is commonly found in sports and
luxury cars.
Multilink Rear Suspension
Ford engineers made the best use of the multi-link independent rear suspension's
design flexibility to give Fusion excellent ride quality and handling
capability. Each wheel operates independently of the others to isolate rough
road conditions, resulting in ride comfort and vehicle control you'd expect in
more expensive cars.
