For 2020, the Fusion loses one of its engine options, the turbocharged V6 Sport model, but the remaining turbocharged 1.5-liter engine and a turbocharged 2.0-liter picks are worthwhile. The Fusion is also still available with all-wheel drive, and it comes standard with safety features such as blind-spot monitoring, lane keeping assist and forward collision mitigation. On the road, the Fusion earns points for its quiet and roomy interior, pleasing balance of handling and ride comfort, and big trunk. The Ford Fusion was a standout when it was first introduced and is still an above-average option for a midsize family sedan. Performance The brake pedal inspires confidence. It's easy to moduate in traffic and provides shorter-than-average emergency stopping distances. The Fusion feels solid as you drive it around turns. The suspension minimizes body roll, and it isn't upset if you drive over a bump midcorner. Curvy mountain roads pose little drama. The Fusion's steering wheel is nicely weighted, and it returns to center willingly. Comfort How comfortable is the Fusion? Though the Fusion has some minor issues with comfort, they're relatively easy to forgive. The car feels planted in most scenarios, and it isn't upset by most small imperfections in the road. Out on the highway, the ride can feel a bit floaty without passengers or cargo but not to the degree that we'd call it bouncy. Road noise is kept to a minimum, and the front seats are a particularly nice place to sit, even for hours at a time. The automatic climate control system performs adequately in hot weather, but the climate control buttons are small and laid out in a somewhat unconventional way. Interior How’s the interior? Almost everyone should find the Fusion's interior to be pleasant and accommodating. The cabin features a rotary transmission shifter that takes some getting used to, but most cabin controls are nicely grouped and easy to operate at a glance, even though a few of the buttons are on the small side. For most passengers, it's easy to get in and out of the Fusion. (Taller passengers may take issue with the sloping rear roofline.) The driving position is nicely adjustable. Technology How’s the tech? With the available Sync 3 infotainment system and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, the Ford Fusion is one of the more tech-friendly vehicles on the market. It's easy to connect devices, execute voice commands, or navigate to a destination without a steep learning curve. Storage How’s the storage? A wide trunk opening with a low liftover height and standard 60/40-split folding rear seats give you easy access to the Fusion's large trunk. Interior storage spaces include a large bin under the front armrest and a spacious tray under the center console. Both front and rear center armrests have two cupholders, and there's one in each of the wide door pockets.
