The 2013 Fusion’s interior is just as stylish as its exterior, with flowing lines and contoured shapes displacing the straight-edged design of the current car. The all-new Fusion is also longer, wider and taller than the outgoing model, resulting in improved interior space. In fact, the new car boasts equal or better interior space in every category other than front-seat hip room. However, trunk space has been reduced, although a lower threshold should make loading easier.
In addition to that added space, passengers will also enjoy the technology packed into the 2013 Fusion. Of course the latest version of SYNC is included, but the Fusion also gains Ford’s Lane Keeping System, adaptive cruise control, active park assist and Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert.
The standard 2013 Ford Fusion is available in S, SE and Titanium trims and will be available with three engines. The base 2013 Ford Fusion is a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-four with 170 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. We’re sure it’s a fine powerplant, but our interest is more settled on the next two: the 2013 Ford Fusion 1.6 EcoBoost four with 179 hp and 172 lb-ft, and the range-topping 2.0-liter EcoBoost four with 237 hp and 250 lb-ft.
Both 2013 Ford Fusion engine specs can be had with the same six-speed automatic, though the smaller 1.6-liter engine can be mated to a six-speed manual box. Front-wheel drive is standard across the board, but top-of-the-line 2013 Ford Fusion 2.0 EcoBoost engine can be had with all-wheel drive.
The 2013 Ford Fusion hybrid gets all-new hardware that represents Ford’s third generation of hybrid tech, starting with a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle inline-four, downsized from 2.5 liters in the prior car. The new 2013 Ford Fusion is expected to return 47/44 mpg (city/highway), up from 41/36 mpg for the current hybrid, and can travel at up to 62 mph on electrical power alone, versus 47 mph in the old car. Total power from the 2013 Ford Fusion hybrid engine and motor is 185 hp and 130 lb-ft.
The entire system is built by Ford in Michigan, although the 2013 Ford Fusion batteries are imported from Mexico. The 2013 Ford Fusion battery pack now uses lithium-ion chemistry, which provides better power density that the prior nickel-metal hydride batteries and an improved regenerative braking system can recover about 95 percent of the energy that otherwise would be lost to friction. As a result, the 2013 Ford Fusion gasoline engine can turn off about ten percent more often than in the previous Fusion hybrid.
